Uses for our plate magnets:

Magnetic attraction is used in a range of devices to safely filter production flows and attract, capture and secure for removal any hazardous metal fragments that can cause long-term damage to equipment in the production process, and damage the health of end consumers. 

Plate magnets are such devices, intervening in production flows and often suspended over passing raw material or partly processed product. Foodstuffs like grains and flour and building materials like gravel and cement can be subjected to magnetic segregation. Ferrous metallic fragments (shrapnel) contained therein experience magnetic discrimination and are safely removed. Intercepted by Plate Magnets for safe disposal, these metallic pieces are no longer a threat to human or animal welfare or expensive and sensitive processing machinery.

Waste recycling stations process building, commercial, industrial and general household hard rubbish. Rubbish pushed with excavators over a series of Magnetic plates can be stripped of metal content. Elsewhere on site, conveyor belts carry co-mingled hard waste underneath a Plate Magnet for the capture and retrieval of tins, cans and other ferrous objects. Removing the most valuable waste first, including chunks of structural steel, the discerning ability of a Plate Magnet allows for simpler and safer sorting of the remaining organic and plastic waste.

Our custom-built plate magnets are perfect for picking up ferrous metal from a distance of up to 150mm.
