Laser Grate Magnet – 200mm x 176mm x 75mm | Min 10,000 Gauss | Fully Welded

The Laser Grate Magnet – 200mm x 176mm x 75mm | Minimum 10,000 Gauss | Fully Welded is a high-intensity industrial magnetic separation grate designed to capture magnetically susceptible iron and steel contamination from powders, granules and other compatible free-flowing materials. Measuring 200mm x 176mm x 75mm, this magnetic grate provides a verified magnetic field strength of at least 10,000 Gauss (10K Gauss) and features a durable fully welded construction.

Also known as a magnetic grate, magnetic grid, hopper magnet or magnetic separator grate, this permanent magnetic separator positions multiple magnetic collection surfaces within the product flow. As material passes around the magnetic elements, magnetically susceptible ferrous particles are attracted to the magnetic surfaces and retained for removal during routine cleaning.

Suitable for food and ingredient processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, plastics, chemical processing, powder handling, bulk materials and general manufacturing, this fully welded 10K Gauss grate magnet provides a reusable method of ferrous contamination control without requiring electricity or an external power source.

Minimum 10,000 Gauss Magnetic Field Strength

This grate magnet provides a specified magnetic field strength of at least 10,000 Gauss, creating a high-intensity magnetic environment for capturing magnetically susceptible ferrous contamination.

Potential contaminants may include:

• Fine iron particles
• Steel fragments
• Ferrous swarf
• Rust particles
• Small magnetic fasteners
• Other magnetically susceptible contamination

The 10,000 Gauss specification describes magnetic field strength. It is not a pull-force, lifting-capacity or safe-working-load rating.

Actual separation performance depends on contaminant properties, material flow characteristics and the design of the complete magnetic separation system.

How Does a Magnetic Grate Work?

A magnetic grate places multiple magnetic collection surfaces across the path of the processed material.

As powders, granules or other compatible materials flow around and between the magnetic elements, magnetically susceptible iron and steel particles that enter the effective magnetic field are attracted towards the magnetic surfaces.

The captured ferrous contamination remains on the grate until it is removed during cleaning.

This multi-element configuration increases the opportunities for contaminants to pass close to a magnetic surface compared with relying on a single magnetic separator bar.

200mm x 176mm x 75mm Grate Design

With overall dimensions of 200mm x 176mm x 75mm, this grate magnet is designed for integration into compatible processing and material-handling equipment.

Potential installation points include:

• Hoppers
• Chutes
• Product inlets
• Transfer points
• Processing vessels
• Gravity-fed systems
• Custom magnetic separation equipment

Before installation, confirm that the grate dimensions and configuration are compatible with the intended equipment, available installation space and product-flow requirements.

Fully Welded Construction

The fully welded construction creates an integrated grate assembly designed for durability in industrial processing environments.

A welded configuration can be particularly useful where magnetic separation equipment is routinely handled, inspected and cleaned as part of contamination-control procedures.

The suitability of the complete grate for a particular process should be assessed according to factors such as:

• Process environment
• Product characteristics
• Cleaning requirements
• Operating conditions
• Installation method
• Applicable industry requirements

Where the grate will be installed in a regulated food, pharmaceutical or other sanitary process, confirm the applicable material, surface-finish, fabrication and compliance requirements before installation.

Magnetic Separation in Processing Systems

Grate magnets are commonly positioned at strategic locations where processed material can pass directly around the magnetic collection surfaces.

Potential installation locations include:

• Inside hoppers
• Within chutes
• At ingredient transfer points
• Before sensitive downstream machinery
• At product discharge points
• Within gravity-fed processing systems
• Before subsequent production stages

Correct positioning is important because magnetic attraction decreases rapidly with distance.

An effective installation should encourage the processed material to pass sufficiently close to the magnetic surfaces.

Industrial Ferrous Contamination Control

High-intensity magnetic grate separators can form part of a contamination-control system where unwanted ferrous particles may enter ingredients, raw materials, powders, granules or manufactured products.

Potential industries include:

• Food manufacturing
• Ingredient processing
• Pharmaceutical production
• Plastics manufacturing
• Chemical processing
• Powder processing
• Bulk material handling
• General manufacturing

Depending on the installation, the grate can help capture compatible iron and steel contamination before it reaches downstream equipment or progresses further through the production process.

Factors Affecting Magnetic Separation Performance

Although this grate provides a specified minimum magnetic field strength of 10,000 Gauss, Gauss alone does not determine the effectiveness of a complete magnetic separation system.

Actual performance depends on factors including:

• Contaminant size
• Contaminant shape
• Magnetic susceptibility
• Material characteristics
• Product flow rate
• Product depth
• Distance from the magnetic surface
• Installation geometry
• Distribution of material across the grate
• Amount of accumulated contamination

Effective system design should maximise opportunities for the processed material to pass close to the magnetic collection surfaces.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Captured ferrous contamination should be removed regularly to maintain effective magnetic separation.

The appropriate cleaning frequency depends on product throughput, contamination levels and the processing environment.

During cleaning and inspection:

• Follow applicable equipment isolation procedures
• Carefully remove accumulated ferrous contamination
• Inspect magnetic surfaces for damage or excessive wear
• Inspect the welded assembly
• Keep magnetic surfaces clean
• Check the grate is correctly installed before restarting equipment

Allowing excessive ferrous contamination to accumulate can reduce the effectiveness of the separator.

Please Note

This laser grate magnet is designed to capture magnetically susceptible ferrous contamination, including iron and compatible steel. Aluminium, copper, brass, plastic and many stainless steel grades will not be effectively captured.

The specified minimum 10,000 Gauss rating describes magnetic field strength and should not be interpreted as pull force, lifting capacity or safe working load.

Where this magnetic grate is intended for food, pharmaceutical or other regulated processing applications, confirm that the complete product specification, materials, surface finish, fabrication, installation method and cleaning procedures satisfy the applicable requirements.

Actual separation performance depends on contaminant characteristics, material flow, installation geometry, proximity to the magnetic surfaces and cleaning frequency.

Strong magnetic fields may affect pacemakers, medical implants, magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment.
