It utilizes the strong tube magnet design, placed in a drawer with either a single row or more commonly multiple rows with alternating centers for a more effective separation and placed in a housing designed to make it easy to clean.

The product flows in the top and over the offset magnetic tubes to redirect product as it flows through the housing, causing it to slow down as it winds through the magnetic grate. This increases the amount of tramp metal exposed to the tube magnets, and its separation from the product flow is maximized.

Manual Clean Drawer-In Housings

Manual clean drawer in housings are best utilized in applications where there is a low volume of tramp metal contamination. Cleaning the collected tramp metal from the tubes is done by opening the door and pulling each bank of tubes out and wiping the tube magnets with a shop rag or gloved hand.


EZ-Clean Drawer-In-Housings

The EZ-Clean Drawer-In-Housing is utilized in applications where higher volumes of tramp metal are expected, operators are available to clean the magnet and the magnet is located in an area with access for the cleaning operation.

The operator cleans the magnet by pulling the handle on the front of the housing, which removes the magnetic drawer from the product flow. As the drawer is pulled out, the magnetic tubes slide through a wiper seal, which wipes the accumulated tramp metal from the tubes. The drawer-in-housing is designed with a catch pan under the front of the housing to collect the metal for easy disposal.



Self-Cleaning Drawer-In-Housings

The self-cleaning drawer-in-housing is utilized in applications where heavier tramp metal contamination is expected or it is located in a hard to reach location or automated cleaning is desired. A toggle switch (custom automated switches available) activates the air-actuated stripping process to discharge the tramp metal and resets the magnetic tubes for more separation.

Grate In Housing

MSI’s magnetic chute separator is ideal for extracting ferrous tramp metal from high volumes of dry product flowing vertically through a chute. Each unit utilizes two powerful permanent magnets, a drawer assembly and a product flow diverter. The two magnets are mounted on opposite sides of a bottomless drawer assembly. The product flow diverter is mounted above and along the centerline of the drawer in parallel to the two magnets.

As the product flows down the chute, it is redirected by the diverter toward the magnets. The deep magnetic reach of the two magnets draws the ferrous metal toward the magnet and out of the product flow.
