Magnetic Separators

PRAB Magnetic SeparatorRemove ferrous particles efficiently and economically

PRAB's line of magnetic separators employ high-intensity ferrite or rare earth magnets within a fully energized rotating drum to continuously remove ferrous particles from the flow of liquid. These systems are often used as a pre-filter to limit contaminants reaching subsequent filtration equipment.  Magnetic Separators are well suited to processes where ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants are mixed with water-based coolants or straight cutting oils.

Features

Systems are available with flow rates up to 315 gpm.

  • No consumable media – eliminates disposal media waste stream, adhering to ISO-14001 standards.
  • Continuous operation – reduces machine downtime. 
  • Most units are in stock and can ship same day.
  • Integrates easily with the Paper Bed Filter– see the image below.

Models

Depending upon your application needs, PRAB offers three models of magnetic separators:

Standard Magnetic Separators
Utilize ferrite magnets to remove ferrous particles.

Super Magnetic Separators
Utilize rare earth magnets with 8x (3,000 gauss) the force of conventional ferrite magnets.

10T Super Magnetic Separators
Utilize rare earth magnets with 10x (3,600 gauss) the force of conventional ferrite magnets.

 

Rare Earth Magnets vs. Ferrite

Use rare earth magnets when the following conditions are met:

  • When large amounts of sludge accumulates within the machine's coolant tank
  • When the coolant being used is a Straight Oil Coolant (Honing Machines, Screw Machines)
