Goudsmit Magnetics has recently launched a new magnetic separator to the market that removes metal particles from soybean flour and similar products. The Easy Cleanflow magnetic separator can be placed under vibrating screens to remove tiny metal particles and weakly magnetic stainless steel wear particles of 30 µm from various powders, including soybean flour. It also serves as a control tool to ensure producers deliver clean products. Metal particles and fine stainless steel wear particles entering the product through friction in dryers are absolutely undesirable. An advantage of this new design is that it requires no operator intervention. Additionally, the magnetic separator features dust-proof, food-safe, and EC1935-compliant seals. Cleaning is also safe and effective. Learn how the magnets work here.

Stainless steel particles

Soybean flour is a raw material for the animal feed industry. The powder contains tiny metal particles and stainless steel (wear) particles, which Easy cleanflow magnets can easily remove. AISI316 particles are particularly difficult to remove. This magnet is suitable for high product flow rates, characterized by an extremely high magnetic flux density of over 12,000 Gauss on the contact surface of the rods. By installing deflectors to ensure direct contact between the product and the rods, the magnet captures up to 60% of hard-to-filter AISI316 particles. The magnet has a deep magnetic field, is dust-proof, and can withstand an overpressure of 0.5 bar. It also features simple electric/pneumatic control for easy user cleaning.

Magnetic separator

As with most food processing companies, magnetic separators are critical filters for very fine metal separation. They can even capture particles undetectable by metal detectors. Magnetic separators, such as Easy cleanflow magnets, ensure excellent final product quality. They also prevent product recalls, costly damage claims, and (in some cases) machine interference.
