IMI Magnets for Ferrous Metal Separation and Extraction in Process Lines


Ensure Your Product Quality and Purity by Extracting Unwanted Metal During the Manufacturing Process

Carolina Material Technologies supplies a wide range of Heavy Duty Magnets and Magnetic Separators for the Removal of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal Contaminants from Dry or Liquid Production Lines and Processes. Our magnetic separators utilize 50 MgOe rated rare earth magnets, which are approximately 20 times stronger than old, ceramic magnets. We specialize in custom configurations for industrial applications. Our magnetic separators are used in industries such as food, chemical, plastics, and feed and grain, to improve product purity and quality, and extend the life of your process equipment by protecting it from unnecessary damage.

Magnet Selection

Offerings of IMI Magnetics Industrial Magnets for Metal Separation

Available Products


We offer Five Main Categories of Magnets for the Removal of Tramp Metal during Industrial and Manufacturing Processes:
  • Out-Stream Gravity Feed Magnetic Separators - Magnets Outside The Product Stream that Do Not Directly Contact the Product, but Close Enough to Extract Larger Metal Particles Such as Nuts and Bolts in Conveyed or Gravity Flow Applications
  • Liquid Line Magnetic Separators - Magnets for the Extraction of Tramp Metal in the Product Line for Liquid Line Applications

FEATURED PRODUCT


IMI’s MTH™ (Mid Tube Housing) incorporates 2 inch diameter Rare Earth tubes on 4 inch centers into our proven Drawer-In-Housing configuration for optimum ferrous metal separation for difficult flowing products. The spacing between the tubes is much larger than in a traditional housing with 1 inch diameter tubes, allowing for product to flow freely through the housing. The 52MgOe magnetic circuit achieves 28 lbs. of pull value on a 1/2” ball - the highest value of any circuit available on the market. Combined with a gauss averaging 13,000, our design offers the strongest and most effective solution to capture ferrous pieces, as well as smaller fines and weakly magnetic contaminants from a product flow.
