Underflow Magnetic Separator

Overview

High-intensity underflow magnet designed for large ferrous contamination

Engineered for demanding process environments, the underflow magnetic separator provides robust protection against large ferrous contamination at critical gravity-fed transfer points. Designed to operate reliably in arduous conditions, the system captures tramp metal such as nuts, bolts, and other ferrous debris before it can compromise product quality or damage downstream equipment.

At its core, the unit incorporates a high-energy rare-earth magnetic assembly that generates an intense, focused magnetic field across the full product flow. As material passes over the magnetic face, ferrous and para-magnetic particles are securely extracted while maintaining a consistent, unrestricted flow of product. This makes the system particularly effective where contamination size is significant and process reliability is critical.

The separator is designed for straightforward integration into inclined chutes, underflow points, and angled pipe sections, allowing it to be positioned exactly where contamination risk is highest. Secure mounting and sealed interfaces help prevent product leakage, while the internal capture design ensures that once contaminants are removed, they remain securely retained until inspection or cleaning.

By removing tramp metal early in the process, the underflow magnetic separator helps reduce contamination risk, protect high-value downstream assets, and minimise unplanned downtime. Its robust construction and low-maintenance design make it well suited to continuous operation in food, pharmaceutical, and bulk solids handling environments, where reliability, compliance, and process continuity are essential.
