Removing microscopic metal from ingredients

11000 gauss magnetic separator for vibratory sieve

During the production of food and pharmaceutical products, small metal particles and fragments can enter the production line. This metallic contamination, usually from the wear of processing machinery, can contaminate ingredients and final products, damaging downstream machinery.

This contamination is usually stainless steel, the most widely used metal in processing equipment. Often, these particles are too small for a metal detector to detect. However, ferrous contaminants, such as iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel, can be easily removed by powerful magnetic separators.

11000 gauss strength magnetic separator with deflector plate.

Our Russell Easy-Clean Magnetic Separator™ for vibratory sieves is a powerful solution for removing ferromagnetic contamination during food and pharmaceutical processing. Its 11,000-gauss magnetic grid delivers optimum magnetic field coverage to ensure product purity. The grid is also designed with two handles for easy handling.

In addition, our magnetic separator features an innovative deflector plate component. This further enhances product security by directing the product flow to the highest-strength areas of the magnetic field. The deflector plate has been engineered to be easily removed from the magnetic grid, enabling easy cleaning between production cycles. It can be used with a range of our compact sieves, including our high-containment Russell Compact Airlock Sieve™, Russell Compact 3-in-1 Sieve™, and Finex®22.

As a global leader in the design and manufacture of innovative food and pharmaceutical separation technology, we work with major manufacturers to develop high-quality equipment, such as the magnetic separators. We partner with Nestlé, Mondelēz, and GSK to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety, and usability of their equipment.

We offer a range of vibratory screeners, grading sieves,  magnetic separators, self-cleaning filters and ultrasonic sieving technology to ensure the quality of food and pharmaceutical products. Our machines can be customized with magnetic separators with different strengths to tailor to the application needs.
