Uses for our separator bar tube magnets:

The Iron Age began in parts of Europe around 600-800 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. This defining period in the development of the modern world is characterised by the use of iron and steel by humans for cutting tools, (carpentry and leathercraft) and weapons, (shields, helmets and axes).

"Swarf," or metal pieces produced when iron or steel is cut or grinded, is a word given to us by Old Norse (file dust), and Old English (filings). The cutting and grinding of metal has continued at pace and Separator Bar Tube Magnets are utilized in modern times to clean up after messy latter-day Ironmongers.

What people love most about steel and other metals, ie; strength and longevity, is also why these separator bars are necessary to remove metal fragments and particles from areas where they present a hazard or nuisance. Tube magnets are literally picking up the leftover pieces, dealing with the fallout, from the consequences of the Iron Age. Metal pieces will, without Separator Bars, or magnetic filters, find their way into water supplies, foodstuffs and beverages, manufacturing processes and electrical and mechanical equipment. Removing unwanted hazardous metallic substances for the benefit of humans and livestock is made a lot simpler thanks to the power of magnetism. 

See Great Assembly article on AMF blog for water recycling with separator bars at a power plant.

Our 200mm separator bar magnet is ideal for removing swarf and metal fragments from production lines and maintaining clean, uncontaminated manufacturing processes.
