Box Magnet | Magnetic separator for grain that removes iron-magnetic particles from flour and cereals in continuous flow lines.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Box Magnet is a compact magnetic separator installed in gravity or low-pressure feed lines to capture ferrous and iron-magnetic particles from flour, cereals and grains. It protects downstream equipment and improves product purity without requiring a separate circular separator housing.

The unit includes an access door with magnetic plates mounted inside. Product flows across the magnetic field where metal contaminants adhere until periodic cleaning.


WORKING PRINCIPLE

Material passes through or over the magnetic box where high-strength magnets retain iron particles. The simple box geometry allows quick inspection and manual removal of collected metal from the door opening.


APPLICATION AREAS

  • Flour mill transfer lines and bulk intake points
  • Gravity spouts after scales or mixers
  • Protection of rollermills and sifters from metal damage
  • Food safety checkpoints in cereal processing

Box magnets are typically installed at strategic points where metal contamination risk is highest, such as after intake or before rollermills. Regular cleaning of magnetic surfaces maintains capture efficiency throughout the production week.


FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

  • Compact installation in existing pipelines
  • Strong magnetic retention of ferrous particles
  • Easy door access for cleaning
  • Low maintenance and durable construction
  • Continuous operation without extra space
