Effortless Cleaning for Gravity-Fed Material Flow
The MPI Self-Clean Plate Magnet provides fully automated metal separation for continuous operation in high-volume processing environments. Using a pneumatically controlled cleaning system, the self-cleaning plate magnet automatically removes collected contaminants at timed intervals, ensuring uninterrupted production and minimal maintenance.
The Self-Clean Plate Magnet is engineered for applications requiring automatic contaminant removal. Using a pneumatically or mechanically operated system, this magnet eliminates manual cleaning and ensures continuous operation. Self-Clean Plate magnets with Intell-I-Mag® are the most efficient and reliable material handling and contamination control plate magnet solution on the market. They help industries improve workflow efficiency, reduce equipment damage, maintain high product purity, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Benefits of the Self-Clean Plate Magnet From Magnetic Products, Inc
High-Performance Magnetic Filtration
Dual-Tier Rare Earth Magnetic Tubes provide maximum metal separation by ensuring direct product contact, effectively capturing fine and coarse ferrous contaminants.
Integrated Product Flow Baffles direct materials through the magnetic field, preventing bypass and optimizing filtration efficiency.
Durable and Hygienic Construction
All stainless-steel Housing offers long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance.
Sanitary Hinges & Latches feature heavy-gauge stainless steel and seam-welded support pins for structural integrity.
Magnet Drawer Frame Support Pins prevent jamming, ensuring smooth operation and easy maintenance.
Easy Integration & Flexible Mounting Options
The system offers seamless integration into existing processing lines, with customizable options for chutes, conveyors, ducts, and gravity-fed systems. Its various sizes and strengths allow tailored solutions based on specific material flow rates and contamination levels. Installation is made easy with pre-fitted hinges, latches, and mounting hardware, ensuring a secure and stable fit in any processing setup.
Protects Equipment & Prevents Costly Repairs
The system effectively captures and eliminates tramp metal, iron filings, nuts, bolts, and other contaminants before they can damage grinders, crushers, mills, or extruders. By preventing equipment damage and unexpected breakdowns, it enhances the longevity of essential processing machinery. This risk reduction minimizes downtime and production stoppages, maximizing operational efficiency and cost savings.
Enhances Product Purity & Regulatory Compliance
Preventing metal contamination is essential for manufacturers to comply with stringent industry standards like FDA, USDA, HACCP, and GMP. This practice ensures high-quality production in food, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and bulk materials, safeguarding brand reputation and customer trust. Additionally, addressing metal contamination mitigates safety hazards and lowers the likelihood of product recalls.
Ideal for High-Volume & Heavy-Contamination
It is perfect for industries handling large material volumes or processing materials prone to metal contamination, such as recycling, mining, plastics, agriculture, and bulk powders. It is designed to withstand continuous operation in demanding environments, maintaining peak magnetic performance over extended periods. It ensures reliable contamination control in fast-moving product streams, improving overall production efficiency.
Self-Clean Plate Magnet Product Details
How It Works
MPI Magnetic Rotary Feeders are installed in material handling systems where controlled feeding and contaminant removal are required. As materials enter the feeder, the rotary mechanism evenly distributes them across the magnetic field created by high-intensity magnetic tubes. The magnets attract and retain ferrous contaminants, ensuring only contaminant-free materials pass downstream. Cleaning processes can be manual or automated, depending on the model, ensuring consistent performance and minimal operator intervention.
Material Flow & Magnetic Separation
Bulk materials enter the feeder through a spring-loaded control gate, ensuring a steady, regulated flow.
The powerful 400-series Ceramic 8 permanent plate magnet captures and holds ferrous contaminants as materials pass through the system.
Automated Self-Cleaning Process
The self-cleaning pneumatic system is activated at pre-set intervals or manually as needed.
Pneumatic cylinders automatically retract the magnetic core from the housing, releasing trapped metal contaminants.
As the magnet retracts, ferrous particles fall away and are collected in a designated discharge chute or collection tray, preventing recontamination.
Safety Cage for Operator Protection
The system is enclosed within a safety cage, preventing accidental exposure to moving parts and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
The safety cage allows maintenance personnel to perform inspections without risk of injury, making it an operator-friendly design.
Damage Prevention & Continuous Flow
The spring-loaded control gate protects against damage by allowing large metal objects to pass safely before being captured.
Since the cleaning process is fully automated, there is no need to stop material flow, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
