Rotary Style Drawer-in-Housing Magnet
This rotary style drawer-in-housing magnet was designed to remove ferrous metal from powder and bulk processed products that have difficult flow characteristics and a tendency to bridge and choke when using traditional, stationary tube-style magnetic separators. The magnet is ideal for products that have a higher moisture content or particle size, such as flours, cake mixes, or corn starch, and require a high degree of product purity. The RotoDrawer magnet features a cylindrical configuration of Rare Earth magnetic tubes that continually rotate through a gravity-fed product stream. The rotational design of the magnet, as well as unique splitter bars that serve to further break up any clumps, keep the flow moving through the housing while capturing any ferrous metal contamination and purifying the product. The unit is available in EZ-Clean or Self-Clean designs to simplify the removal of collected metal and prevent any metal wash-off back into the product stream. Standard sizes range from 8x8 in.- to 18x18-in.-inlets and outlets, with custom designs and sizes available to fit exact application requirements. Industrial Magnetics Inc., Boyne City, MI 800-662-4638 www.magnetics.com

High Sensitivity Metal Detectors
Extremely sensitive E-Z Tec DSP metal detectors detect ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless steel contaminants. This state-of-the-art metal detector, which features advanced digital signal processing, is ideal for customers in the food, textile, pharmaceutical, rubber, chemical, and many other industries. It utilizes a standard three-coil aperture arrangement to send a signal to the unit’s control for digital processing. The touch-screen (1/4 VGA) interface allows users to view multiple line items at a glance, making setup, monitoring, and operation straightforward and simple. All numeric data and value entries are made through on-screen calculator type interfaces, eliminating the need to scroll through long lists. For improved function and simplified diagnostics, the electronics have been consolidated and multiple detectors can be monitored and controlled from a single PC, providing plant-wide access to data and reports. Remote diagnostics, as well as company-wide control and monitoring, is easily added by installing Eriez’ free E-Z Link software. Eriez, Erie, PA 888-300-3743 www.eriez.com

Large Bag Metal Detector
Known as the “Big Bag King”, this detector can be integrated with a vector conveyor to create an all-in-one detection solution. The Phantom large bag metal detector achieves supreme performance with large product sizes, with a specification of 2.0 mm-316 stainless steel detection in 50-100-lb bags of dry product. Additionally, the system detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal as small as 1.5 mm. It also includes a noise reduction modification that reduces the unit’s susceptibility to RF interference. Applications include flour, grain, spices, powders, food, and additives. Fortress Technology Inc., Toronto, ON, Canada 888-220-8737  www.fortresstechnology.com

Manual Clean Drawer Magnet
Engineered to remove medium and fine ferrous contaminants from dry, free-flowing products under gravity flow, this drawer magnet protects processing machinery and improves product purity. Multiple staggered rows provide maximum contact area for product flow. As product flows through the stainless steel housing, it cascades over the staggered rows of magnetic tubes. Ferrous contaminants are pulled to the surface of the magnet where they move to the underside of the tube to prevent wash-off. EZ Clean and POW-R Clean options are also available for simplified cleaning. Additionally, complete engineering and product testing is offered to assist in magnetic equipment installation decisions. Puritan Magnetics, Oxford, MI 800-787-3624  www.puritanmagnetics.com
