Magnetic Separators

July 01, 2014

Eriez offers a wide assortment of magnetic separation equipment to effectively and efficiently remove ferrous chips, parts and fine contaminants in metalworking applications. A range of magnetic separator models in various sizes, styles and magnetic strengths are available to provide a solution for practically any requirement.

Magnetic Traps remove ferrous contaminants in liquid lines and capture chips and fines from coolant. They can be easily installed in a machine tool plumbing system to immediately increase purity.

Magnetic Drum Separators utilize the power of Rare Earth magnetic material to expertly separate ferrous parts from abrasive media and other materials. The complete line includes standard models in diameters from 12 to 36 inches (305 to 915mm) and widths from 12 to 60 inches (305 to 1,525mm).

Magnetic Grates, used in coolants, media and sand blasting, extract small and fine ferrous material. These advanced separators come in an array of styles in both ceramic and rare earth designs.

Magnetic Coolant Cleaners, available in four models and multiple widths, provide a powerful solution for removing ferrous contaminants in fluid. These rugged and powerful units can handle up to 600 gallons per minute of water-soluble coolant.

Related Glossary Terms

  • abrasive

    abrasive

    Substance used for grinding, honing, lapping, superfinishing and polishing. Examples include garnet, emery, corundum, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond in various grit sizes.

  • coolant

    coolant

    Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.

  • metalworking

    metalworking

    Any manufacturing process in which metal is processed or machined such that the workpiece is given a new shape. Broadly defined, the term includes processes such as design and layout, heat-treating, material handling and inspection.
