New 12-bar rotary magnet from GEA catches more ferrous material from food and dairy powders

摘要

GEA has recently launched its new demountable rotary magnet for use in powdered food and dairy applications such as milk powders, infant formula, nutritional powders, sugar, cocoa powder, beverage powders and food ingredients. The magnets are designed to remove fragments of ferrous metals and work hardened stainless steel contaminants that would otherwise contaminate the product. The new 12-bar design, featuring many improvements over the previous 8-bar version, has been developed in close cooperation with one of the world's leading manufacturers of powdered infant formula and in association with the Auckland University of Technology. It uses the highest quality rare earth Neodymium magnets N52 to provide a direct product strength in excess of 10,500 gauss. This removes ferrous material more effectively without any increase in cost. The units can be demounted by hand and are much easier to clean than previous models.
