goudsmit has recently developed a new series of electromagnetic drum separators, specifically for food intake. In the aforementioned industries, these magnets remove ferrous and weakly magnetic particles from free-falling granular products, with sizes as small as 0.03 mm. The growing demand for magnetic force and material certification has led to this modified design.

The drum magnet is made entirely of stainless steel and features seals certified to EC1935 / 2004, with magnetic forces ranging from 1800 Gauss to 8000 Gauss. Magnetic drum separators prevent metal contamination of the final product and avoid unnecessary damage to mixers or grinders. They are suitable for product streams with significant magnetic contamination.

goudsmitContinuous process

The advantage of magnetic drum separators is that metal separation can be performed continuously, and the system can handle large volumes. It is not necessary to stop the product flow to clean the magnets; the new version offers ample inspection options. The magnets come into direct contact with the product, attracting magnetic particles and carrying them to the bottom of the drum. Here, the particles detach and are collected and/or removed.

The magnetic drum separator features a hygienically treated housing; no product stagnates, ensuring smooth, non-stick flow throughout. The unit contains a complete neodymium magnet system capable of removing ferrous and even weakly magnetic particles down to 0.03 mm from raw materials with a maximum diameter of 50 mm. To remove small, weakly magnetic particles (such as 304 type stainless steel), we recommend installing a vibratory feeder to supply the material.

goudsmitHeavy magnetic particle contamination

Due to continuous cleaning, magnetic drum separators are well-suited for product streams with heavy magnetic particle contamination. You can use them for dry powders and granules in free-fall pipes, or after vibratory feeders on belt conveyors. Magnets are available in various sizes. We provide magnetic drum separators for coarser raw materials, such as granules and fibers, in the plastic or ceramic industries.
