Standard Products for the Food Industry
Magnetic Separators are installed
in any processing or production
line where ferrous contaminants
must be removed to:
• ensure and protect product purity
• prevent damage to machinery
• eliminate hazards associated with
tramp metal
free-flow magnets
Free-Flow Cylinder Magnets (FFC series) and Mini Free-Flow
Cylinder Magnets (MFFS series) capture both large and small
tramp metal from high-volume, abrasive, vertical gravity-fed product
streams. FFC and MFFS series magnets provide maximum ferrous
tramp metal retention in product streams where “wash-off” is a
concern.
• MPI exclusive, heavy-duty hexagon-shaped permanent magnet
• Stainless steel housing
• Available in a variety of sizes to meet application requirements
grate and tube magnets
Grate Magnets (GM series) remove medium- and small-to-mediumsize ferrous tramp metal contaminants from dry, granular freeflowing product streams in gravity-fed vertical chutes, hoppers,
housings, and surge or catch bins. Grate Magnets offer efficient,
economical magnetic protection of processing equipment while
improving product purity.
•
•
•
Square, rectangular or round configurations
Four different styles, depending on product flow characteristics
Multiple magnetic rows, non-standard row spacing and powerful
Rare Earth magnet energy design options
Magnetic Tubes (MT series) are commonly used to remove smallto-medium size ferrous tramp metal contaminants from a variety of
product streams to improve product quality and protect processing
machinery.
separation rolls
Magnetic Head Pulley / Separation Roll Magnets (SR series)
remove both large and small ferrous tramp iron contaminants from
belt-conveyed product streams in belt conveyor systems.
• Powerful permanent Ceramic 8 magnet material
• Three different hub styles and crown faces available
• Face widths from 8” to 62” and face diameters from 4” to 36”
• Options include Rare Earth magnet material
Standard Products for the Food Industry
drawer magnets
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.
• MPI exclusive magnet cleaning systems
• Rare Earth permanent magnet material
• Single or multi-tier Drawer Housing designs to fit any chute
drum magnets
Magnetic Drum Separators and Housing (DSH series) provide
trouble-free automatic extraction of tramp iron from heavy flows of
abrasive and large-sized materials such as sugarcane, corn and
others.
MPI provides a full
line of Separation
equipment:
• Powerful permanent Ceramic 8 (standard) or optional Rare Earth magnet material
• Standard sizes: 12” dia. to 36” dia. and widths from 12” to 60”
liquid conveying systems
Liquid Plate Trap Magnets (LPT series) and Liquid Finger Trap Magnets (LFT
series) and protect product flow lines and pumps by magnetically removing
ferrous contaminants from liquid and slurry product streams. LPT and LFT
magnets provide purification of liquids and tramp metal separation for a variety
of wet food processing industries, from fluid and strained products to viscous
and heavy fibrous products.

magnetic chutes
Magnetic Chute Separators (MC series) automatically capture ferrous
tramp iron in high-volume, vertical, gravity-fed product streams. The
MC-Series magnets are ideal for use with heavy product flows which
would otherwise bridge or choke if filtered through magnetic grates.
MPI’s MC Series magnets are used in the food industry to improve
product quality and protect equipment.

Standard Products for the Food Industry
plate magnets
Plate Magnets (PM series) are used in gravity-fed angled chutes
which convey low-to-high volume product streams. Typical
installations are below-the-flow, where product flows over the
magnetic face, providing optimum ferrous tramp metal retention in a
wide variety of chute applications.
