metal detectors
MPI offers a complete line of next-generation Cassel metal
detectors, featuring “Four-Quadrant” technology. Integrated FourQuadrant technology allows Cassel equipment to readily adjust
settings to detect metals in even the most “difficult” products. To
ensure maximum performance, users are taken through a series of
easy-to-follow, step-by-step, high-graphic screens to set standards
for product testing. By finding even the smallest particles of ferrous,
nonferrous and stainless steel contaminants, Cassel metal detectors
assist food manufacturers to meet HACCP, IFS, BRC and GMP
safety standards. Able to meet the needs of a variety of applications
in harsh production environments, equipment models can be
installed on conveyor lines or onto gravity feed pipes. MPI also
offers a complete line of checkweighers.
suspended permanent magnets
Suspended permanent and electromagnetic separators produce the
most effective removal of unwanted tramp iron from heavy burdened
depths of material being conveyed on a fast moving conveyor belt.
Captured tramp metal accumulates across the entire magnetic face,
substantially increasing the amount of metal contaminant that can be
retained. Equipment is built for extremely rugged environments.

plate magnets
Single-step, doublestep and quick clean
designs available!
MPI provides a wide range of plate magnets used in gravity-fed
angled chutes which convey low-to-high volume product streams.
Typically installed below-the-flow, product travels over the magnetic
face, providing optimum ferrous tramp metal retention in a wide
variety of chute applications. MPI offers single-step and double-step
plate magnets to divert the product stream away from the magnet
surface, while allowing tramp metal to be magnetically attracted
to the magnet’s surface behind the collection steps. A quick-clean
option allows for rapid cleaning of the magnet. Also available is a
powerful magnetic rotary feeder which provides even distribution of
product to hammermills.
• ensure and protect product purity
• prevent damage to machinery
• eliminate hazards associated with
tramp metal
The job and location of the magnet will vary
depending upon the process and the setting.
Magnets are typically found in three areas
(application sites) within a facility.
drawer magnets
1. Primary applications, where incoming grain arrives at the plant receiving areas.
Available in five standard styles and a variety of sizes, drawer
magnets (DMU series) remove small-to-medium-sized ferrous
tramp metal contaminants from dry, granular free-flowing
product streams in gravity-fed vertical chutes.
2. Secondary applications, where grain enters the plant for processing.
3. Finishing applications, where processed grain, now flour or another end-product, is
packaged or loaded into trucks for distribution to end users
