Can anyone provide me with a website or resource for selecting the appropriate magnet for our application? I have heard things like flow rate, pipe size, and distance from product all play a role but I was hoping for a "calculator" of sorts. 

 

We do formulated tomato products (salsa, sauces, etc...) 

 

 

Any help would be great!

You may directly contact magnet suppliers or check their websites. You can check mesutronic, eriez, mettler toledo, etc.

Hi jfox,

 

Not my area at all but first file (2008) attached discusses how the type of magnetic separator correlates to the application. As per previous post the decision surely needs some professional input.

 

2nd file is specific to sauces, purees etc and appears to regard viscosity/desired flow rate as the defining criteria for the type of separator described / offered.

Thanks guys. I checked out those resources. I like them but I was hoping for an easy guide to determining the magnet strength we would need or should use. I thought I had seen one at one time. Thanks for the prompt response.

Hi jfox,

 

Ah well, you should have specified yr interest more precisely. There are existing threads on this forum regarding magnet strengths. Maybe search a little.


Kind Regards,

Hi Jfox,

 

Here are some 'magic' numbers you can start with...

 

The numbers are from a voluntary standard available for 'final magnets' - that is, magnets that are the last point at which a ferrous contaminant could be removed from a finished product (sometimes a CCP). It says the magnet(s) should be a continuous type (ie not electromagnets) and should be a strength of 10000 Gauss.  Magnets that are used earlier in the process or that are not CCPs can be weaker.  You will want at least 85% of your product stream passing within 10 mm of the magnet(s).  The cleaning frequency is important ,especially in viscous products like yours, so look for magnetic equipment which allow fast and easy access to the magnetic parts so that you can monitor and clean off contaminants easily.  

 

You can purchase a copy of the standard from haccp-international.com.
