Eriez has expanded its Salient Pole Rare Earth (SPRE) drum line to include food processing applications.

Building on the product’s success in the mineral processing and recycling industries, SPRE drums are now optimized to meet the stringent requirements of food processing, ensuring the purity and safety of food products.

SPRE drum separators feature a self-cleaning design and generate a powerful magnetic field of up to 6,000 gauss. This high strength allows SPRE drums to effectively remove foreign contaminants in even the most challenging food processing applications.

Utilizing neodymium or samarium-cobalt rare earth magnets, SPRE drums offer a magnetic force that surpasses conventional magnets such as ferrite or alnico. Rare earth magnets maintain a strong magnetic field over an extended distance, facilitating thorough separation of metal contaminants.

The arrangement of magnetic poles on the drum surface creates distinct magnetic fields, enhancing the efficiency of material separation based on magnetic properties. Used across various industries, drum separators effectively remove ferrous and other magnetic contaminants from product flows. As the drum rotates, magnetic particles are attracted to its surface and subsequently removed.

SPRE drums capture even the finest ferrous particles with precision. The durability of rare earth magnets ensures long-lasting operational efficiency, making these powerful drums a reliable choice for food processors.
