NEW EASY-CLEAN MAGNETIC SEPARATOR ATTRACTS FOOD AND PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS

Operating in highly competitive environments, food and pharmaceutical manufacturers know just how important product quality is. With their reputations at stake, they must ensure their products are free from any contamination.

Russell Finex, a market-leading provider of fine mesh separation technology has long supplied screening and separation solutions to these industries. However, companies can face the problem of ferrous contaminants, which are difficult to extract using traditional sieves alone.Ferrous contamination can occur at several points along the production line. As raw materials are processed, metal particles such as rust or iron can fall into the product, jeopardizing quality.
Russell Finex has launched a new stainless steel magnetic separator to eliminate this problem. To be used on its range of Compact sieves and Finex 22 model, the magnet attracts ferrous particles and securely holds them onto its bars, keeping unwanted material out of the final product. The number of bars is optimised to strike the right balance between coverage of open space, magnetic field strength and throughput rates.
The new design of the magnetic separator allows for quick and easy cleaning between batches. Instead of being welded directly to the frame, magnetic bars are attached to a central support beam, leaving free space between the bar ends and the frame. Cleaning is thus facilitated, as ferrous material can be wiped to the end of the bars, and easily collected as it falls away.
Ray Singh, Sales and Marketing Director, says The enhanced design of the magnetic separator is a direct result of listening to our customers. Food and pharmaceutical companies cannot afford to accept any level of contamination, however small. This new model easily removes ferrous particles which otherwise might go unnoticed in production and also makes cleaning of the magnet very easy to do.
Available as a standard ferrite model, made of material achieving 3,700 Gauss, or in more powerful rare earth options made of material reaching up to 13,000 Gauss, this product is essential where the risk of ferrous contamination is present.
