Textiles and Non-Woven Materials Industry
Metal Control Solutions for the Textiles and Non-Woven Materials Industries
In the textiles and non-woven materials industry, stray metal contamination, like broken needles, staples, wire fragments, or fasteners, can wreak havoc on delicate production lines. MPI’s magnetic separation and detection systems are strategically placed throughout processing to safeguard machinery, protect operators, and ensure product quality.
Metal enters the process through raw material bales, recycled fiber blends, maintenance tools, or wear-and-tear in equipment. MPI products are used at critical stages:
Fiber intake and blending – to intercept metal before it damages carding machines
Carding, needle punch, or hydroentangling – where trapped metal can jam or ruin expensive machines
Finishing, coating, lamination, and converting – to avoid surface damage and ensure defect-free output
Slitting and rewinding – to detect and reject any contaminated rolls before shipping
Whether producing textiles for apparel, automotive, hygiene, filtration, or insulation, MPI systems provide reliable, low-maintenance metal removal designed for high-throughput, fiber-rich, and dust-laden environments.
With MPI solutions in place, textile and non-woven manufacturers gain:
Equipment protection from downtime and catastrophic damage
Consistent product quality in high-spec industries like hygiene, filtration, or automotive
Improved operator safety and compliance with quality assurance protocols
Efficient, dust-tolerant separation for facilities handling natural or synthetic fibers
MPI keeps the fiber stream from bale to bolt clean, safe, and flowing.
INDUSTRY GUIDE – Protecting Fiber Processing Equipment from Metal Contamination
Metal contamination doesn’t need to be large to cause disruption - small fragments can travel through fiber streams, damage sensitive equipment, and create defects in finished materials. Learn how to protect your process and maintain consistent production.

Turnkey Solutions for Textiles and Non-Woven Materials From Magnetic Products, Inc
Protects Precision Textile Equipment
By intercepting ferrous contaminants early, it prevents costly damage to carding heads, looms, felting bars, and calendar rolls.
Enhances Product Purity and Appearance
Eliminates visible metal specks, fiber tears, and surface defects, supporting high-quality output for sensitive or decorative applications.
Supports Worker Safety and Operator Confidence
This reduces the risk of injury from hidden sharp objects in rolls, webs, or fiber bales, especially during handling or changeovers.
Designed for Dusty, Fluffy Environments
Built with fiber-resistant coatings, sealed housings, and low-turbulence designs to stay effective in lint-heavy air and materials.
Quick-Clean and Self-Clean Options Minimize Downtime
Tool-free access and automated self-cleaning designs allow regular maintenance without disrupting production.
Compact and Flexible for Easy Integration
MPI systems fit easily into chutes, pneumatic lines, and conveyor systems, supporting retrofits or new installations with minimal reengineering.
Optimized for Natural, Synthetic, and Recycled Fibers
Configurable for cotton, polyester, rayon, glass fiber, melt-blown webs, and mixed-material streams.
Improves Operational Efficiency and Yield
MPI solutions increase uptime and throughput across the plant by avoiding mechanical failures and reducing material waste.
