PNEUMATIC TRANSFER MAGNET

Unmatched Magnetic Separation Efficiency in Pneumatic Convey Lines

The Spherical Pneumatic Transfer Magnet combines high-gauss magnetic strength with engineered fragment retention design, to effectively capture and retain even the smallest metal fines, chips, fine wear iron, and even rust flakes in high-velocity flow applications. The bellied housing around the aerodynamic magnet minimizes pressure change and prevents particle breakdown or bulk density change to the product.

Key Features & Benefits

Key Features

  1. Spherical Magnet Element – aerodynamic magnet with wear cone and low-pressure fragment retention zone.
  2. Positioning Collar with Key – ensuring correct position of directional magnet probe.
  3. Proximity Sensor Bracket – (optional) a fail-safe feature that ensures magnet is in place during production.
  4. Tethered Handle – for operator safety.
  5. Aerodynamic Magnet Housing – prevents product buildup (no ledges) and minimizes pressure change in line.
  6. Morris Coupling – standard fittings available include Morris coupling, Tuf-Lok, Camlock, Tri-clamp and more.
  7. Cleaning Station – for safe and ergonomical cleaning of magnet.
  8. Cleaning Brush – easily and safely remove metal fragments.
  9. Tri-clamp Access with Locking Tabs – for operator safety (alternative tool access fittings available)

Additional Features

  • RE80® Magnet Technology – for industry-leading magnet strength retention over time.
  • High-Intensity Magnets – certified to 11,000+ gauss.
  • Dura-Slik® Abrasion-Reduction Technology – to reduce wear in abrasive applications, as well as increasing flowability of hydroscopic or sticky powders.

Power of Comparison

The Spherical Pneumatic Line Magnet design provides significant advantages vs. alternative conventional designs.

While magnetic strength (gauss or pull strength) is not the only principle that defines a magnetic separator’s efficiency, it is obviously an important one. The Spherical Pneumatic Transfer Magnets are certified at 12,000-13,000 gauss strength, more than double the magnetic strength of many alternative conventional pneumatic line magnets on the market today!

Positioning a magnet bar in-line (instead of transverse) with product flow, greatly limits a magnet’s ability to retain collected fragments against a high velocity flow of materials. Conventional ‘bullet magnets’ and other pneumatic line magnets lack retention efficiency due to a limited fragment retention zone. The Spherical large-diameter (4-6inch / 100-150mm) magnet element is positioned transverse to the product flow, enabling the magnet to ‘hang-on tightly’ or retain metal fragments.

The Spherical Magnet is a very compact design, making it easy to install into your existing process. Whether you’re fitting a magnetic separator into an existing process, or a new process, the compact design, and range of connection fittings make it easy to implement. Specify your fitting of choice on the magnet inlet and outlet. (Morris coupling, tri-clover, Tuf-lok, camlock, or a combination of these).

Reduced risk of re-contamination. Due to the engineered spherical shape of the magnet, the captured material will tend to move around, by the flow of the product, to accumulate in the low-pressure region of the large-diameter sphere. In comparison, Bullet Magnets and other pneumatic line magnets have a flat base or flat raised poles which often do not hold tightly enough to weakly magnetic fragments, therefore risk being dislodged and re-entering the product flow.

The Spherical Magnet is a more effective, more user-friendly, more sanitary alternative to outdated Bullet Magnet designs. Many companies, such as mills, bakeries, and confectionary plants are making the switch to Spherical Magnets and reporting increased separation efficiency and metal retention yields. Overall, the Spherical system is smaller, lighter, stronger, and gives you a higher assurance of effective foreign metal fragment control in pneumatic convey applications.

Rendered Proteins

The RE80® Spherical Magnetic Separator is effective in removing metal contamination from blow, vacuum, gravity, and pneumatic transfer lines. The aerodynamic design of this Magnattack® system enables efficient extraction of metal from powder lines, without experiencing bulk density problems.

The Spherical Magnet is considered a more hygienic and superior alternative to other traditional magnet choices as it is smaller, lighter, stronger, and gives you a higher assurance of effective foreign metal fragment control.

Applications

  • Ideal for starch, powders, flours, and dry ingredients
  • Popular in flour mills and bakeries
  • Dairy-grade option available

"17 years ago, MAGNATTACK™ supplied us with one of their Spherical Pneumatic transfer magnets. After all this time, the magnet is still > 10,000 gauss, similar strength to what it was on supply. We test the magnet strength on a regular basis to ensure it is performing at the design level to ensure we maintain the highest level of Food Safety. Having worked with the team at MAGNATTACK many times, I find MAGNATTACK™ to be a very helpful, responsive organisation, which has provided a professional, high level of personal service when needed, along with providing practical solutions specific to our need for metal fragment control. I have no hesitation in recommending MAGNATTACK™ to my counterparts within Aryzta or within the food industry.”

“We discovered the Mag-Ram after looking at ways to remove metal from meals and to assure our pet food customers that the meals were of highest quality. When we looked around at all the options we found that the Mag-Ram was the best because it is self-cleaning and it saves operators time and it gives us the assurance that we’re not sending metal to our customers. One of the benefits of this system is that we’ve got peace of mind of knowing that our products going to pet food and agriculture are not going to be facing claims from metal and problems we send the customer. The business is too valuable to risk sending a problem to the other side of the world and then trying to sort the problems out later. It is better to make sure the problems don’t leave our premises.”

"Our company is committed to quality. When we required less magnetic stone fragments in our grain, we needed more gauss than can currently be obtained with a rare earth magnetic drum. We found a solution that exceeded our expectations by installing a Mag-Ram Self-Cleaning Magnetic Separator. With the 10,000 gauss magnets, a great deal more magnetic stone and magnetic rock dust is extracted. We are very impressed with this installation and the high level of expertise and service from the manufacturer, Magnattack™ Global. Highly recommended quality.”

“We use the Liquid Pressure Pipeline Separator in our meet processing plant. We are very pleased with them... three things: Number 1. THEY WORK. We had some paddles that got smashed that were impregnated with metal. When we gathered all the broken pieces and put them together, your separator captured 100% of the fragments...that's never happened before! Number 2. EASY TO CLEAN, and - Number 3. EASY TO HANDLE - the operators love them!”

"We have been working with MAGNATTACK™ for the past decade and have installed multiple MAG-RAM™ self-cleaning grate magnets throughout our plants. These units have proved very useful in reducing downtime caused by damage to equipment, as well as a huge timesaver for operators cleaning magnets. The system has also enabled us to clean instream without stopping the process to clean the magnets. This method has proved more efficient to other magnetic separators because a clean magnet is constantly being presented to the products being processed. This is a highly effective innovation, recommended for bulk material processing."

"Since 2004 Magnattack Global has provided us with solutions to metal fragment control in both supply of equipment and yearly magnet validations. Magnattack is a source of exceptional quality separation systems and manufactured innovative answers to metal fragment control. In 2006 Magnattack adapted a MAG-RAM™ Self-Cleaning Magnet System to a difficult location above our SAPAC Machine. This has provided the separation qualities required and the assurance that a clean magnet is presented to the product with regular cleaning cycles. The most innovative function of this unit is its ability to clean one ram at a time providing good coverage of product to magnet during its cleaning cycle. Magnattack over the years has also provided magnet solutions for our pneumatic transfer lines, gravity powder lines and liquid lines. We are very impressed with MAGNATTACK"s high level of expertise, on-site presence and service to the dairy industry, and would have no hesitation in recommending their innovative magnetic separator solutions for sanitary dairy applications.”
