Round Grate Magnet – 200mm Diameter | Minimum 10,000 Gauss

The Round Grate Magnet – 200mm Diameter | Min 10,000 Gauss is a high-strength industrial magnetic separation system designed to capture and remove unwanted ferrous metal contamination from powders, granules and other compatible free-flowing materials. Featuring a 200mm diameter round configuration and a magnetic field strength of at least 10,000 Gauss, this grate magnet provides powerful contamination control in a compact format.

The grate incorporates multiple high-strength magnetic separator bars positioned across the product flow. As material passes through and around the magnetic tubes, magnetically susceptible iron and steel particles are attracted to the magnetic surfaces and retained for removal, helping improve material purity and protect downstream processing equipment.

Its compact 200mm round design makes this magnetic grate particularly suitable for installation in compatible circular hoppers, chutes, processing vessels and gravity-fed systems used throughout manufacturing and bulk material processing.

How Does a Round Grate Magnet Work?

A round grate magnet, also known as a magnetic grate, magnetic grid or hopper magnet, uses multiple magnetic separator bars positioned across the path of a product stream.

As compatible material passes through the grate, it travels close to the magnetic tubes. Magnetically susceptible iron and steel contaminants are attracted away from the product stream and retained against the magnetic surfaces.

Using multiple magnetic bars across the 200mm diameter grate increases magnetic coverage and reduces the pathways through which material can pass without approaching a magnetic surface.

Minimum 10,000 Gauss Magnetic Strength

This round grate magnet provides a magnetic field strength of at least 10,000 Gauss, delivering high-intensity magnetic separation for demanding contamination-control applications.

The strong magnetic field can help capture fine ferrous particles and fragments from compatible product streams, supporting product quality and helping protect downstream equipment from potentially damaging metal contamination.

The stated minimum 10,000 Gauss refers to magnetic field strength and should not be interpreted as a lifting capacity or pull-force rating.

Compact 200mm Round Design

The 200mm diameter makes this grate magnet particularly useful for compact processing equipment and circular product-flow systems.

Depending on the equipment configuration, it can be incorporated into suitable:

• Circular hoppers
• Chutes
• Gravity-fed processing lines
• Product inlets
• Processing vessels
• Bulk material transfer points
• Custom magnetic separation equipment

The round configuration provides magnetic coverage across compatible circular openings while maintaining a relatively compact footprint.

Industrial Magnetic Separation Applications

The 200mm diameter 10K Gauss round grate magnet is suitable for manufacturers, processors and equipment builders requiring a compact but powerful magnetic contamination-control system.

Correctly installed magnetic grate separators can help:

• Capture unwanted iron and steel particles
• Reduce ferrous contamination in processed materials
• Capture fine magnetically susceptible particles
• Improve material and finished-product purity
• Protect downstream machinery from metal fragments
• Reduce the risk of equipment damage
• Support contamination-control and quality-assurance procedures
• Provide continuous magnetic separation without electrical power

Getting the Best Magnetic Separation Performance

Magnetic attraction decreases rapidly with distance, so the processing system should be designed to bring material as close as practical to the magnetic separator bars.

Actual separation performance can be influenced by:

• Contaminant size and shape
• Magnetic properties of the contaminant
• Product characteristics
• Material depth
• Flow rate
• Distance from the magnetic tubes
• Installation geometry
• Amount of contamination already collected

The grate should be installed so that material passes appropriately through and around the magnetic bars rather than bypassing the magnetic separation area.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Captured ferrous contamination should be removed from the magnetic grate regularly to maintain effective separation performance.

Cleaning frequency will depend on the volume of material processed and the amount of ferrous contamination present. Excessive accumulation of captured metal can reduce the available magnetic collection surface and potentially affect separation efficiency.

Before removing, cleaning or servicing the grate, isolate product flow and surrounding machinery according to applicable workplace procedures.

Take care when removing captured metal from the separator bars, as the minimum 10,000 Gauss magnetic field can hold iron and steel fragments firmly against the magnetic surfaces.

Please Note

The stated minimum 10,000 Gauss rating refers to magnetic field strength and is not a pull-force or lifting capacity rating.

Actual magnetic separation efficiency depends on factors including contaminant size, shape and magnetic properties, product characteristics, flow rate, installation geometry and proximity to the magnetic surfaces.

This round grate magnet is primarily designed to capture magnetically susceptible ferrous contamination. Non-magnetic materials such as aluminium, copper, brass, plastic and many stainless steel grades will not be effectively captured.

For food, pharmaceutical or other regulated processing applications, confirm that the complete installation meets the applicable material, hygiene, cleaning and certification requirements for the specific process.

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