Separator Bar Tube Magnet – 25mm x 400mm | M6 Thread | 10K Gauss

The Separator Bar Tube Magnet – 25mm x 400mm | M6 Thread | 10K Gauss is a high-strength industrial magnetic separator bar designed to capture and remove unwanted ferrous metal contamination from powders, granules and other compatible free-flowing materials. Producing a magnetic field of approximately 10,000 Gauss, this tube magnet provides reliable magnetic separation for manufacturing, food processing, plastics, pharmaceutical, chemical and bulk material handling applications.

Measuring 25mm in diameter and 400mm in length, this magnetic filter bar provides substantial coverage across product streams while maintaining a streamlined cylindrical profile. The integrated M6 threaded mounting point allows the separator bar to be installed individually or incorporated into compatible magnetic grids, grate magnets and custom separation systems.

As material passes around the magnetic tube, magnetically susceptible iron and steel particles are attracted towards the magnetic surface and retained for removal. This helps reduce ferrous contamination, improve material purity and protect downstream processing equipment from potentially damaging metal fragments.

How Does a Magnetic Separator Bar Work?

A magnetic separator bar, also known as a tube magnet, magnetic filter bar, magnetic separator rod or magnetic tube, generates a concentrated magnetic field around its outer surface.

When compatible material passes around the tube, magnetically susceptible ferrous particles are attracted away from the product stream and towards the magnetic surface. The captured iron and steel contamination remains attached to the separator bar until removed during routine cleaning.

For effective separation, the system should be designed so the material passes as close as practical to the magnetic surface while maintaining appropriate product flow.

Why Choose a 10,000 Gauss Tube Magnet?

The approximately 10K Gauss magnetic field provides powerful magnetic separation performance for industrial contamination-control applications.

A high-strength separator bar can help capture smaller ferrous particles that may otherwise remain within processed material. Correctly positioned, this makes the tube magnet useful for improving product purity while helping prevent unwanted metal fragments from reaching downstream machinery.

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

400mm Length for Broad Magnetic Coverage

The 400mm length makes this separator bar suitable for medium-to-wide processing areas where greater magnetic coverage is required.

Depending on the equipment design, the tube magnet can be positioned within compatible:

• Hoppers
• Chutes
• Ducts
• Product streams
• Magnetic grate frames
• Magnetic grids
• Custom processing equipment

Multiple 400mm separator bars can also be positioned parallel to one another to create a magnetic grid or grate, increasing magnetic coverage across the product stream.

M6 Thread for Equipment Integration

The integrated M6 thread provides a practical mounting point for incorporating the magnetic tube into compatible processing equipment.

Depending on the application, this separator bar can form part of a magnetic grid, grate magnet, hopper separator or custom magnetic filtration system.

Always confirm the M6 thread, 25mm diameter and 400mm length are compatible with the intended mounting system before installation.

Industrial Magnetic Separation Applications

The 25mm x 400mm M6 10K Gauss separator bar is suitable for manufacturers, processors, engineers and equipment builders requiring reliable ferrous contamination control.

Correctly installed magnetic separator bars can help:

• Capture unwanted iron and steel particles
• Reduce ferrous contamination in processed materials
• 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

For larger product streams, multiple separator bars can be incorporated into a purpose-built magnetic grid to provide greater coverage.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Captured ferrous contamination should be removed from the magnetic tube regularly to maintain effective separation performance. Cleaning frequency will depend on the volume of material being processed and the level of contamination present.

Excessive accumulation of ferrous material can reduce the available magnetic collection surface and affect the separator's ability to capture additional particles.

Before cleaning or servicing, isolate the separator from moving machinery and product flow according to applicable workplace safety procedures. Take care when removing ferrous particles, as they may be held firmly against the 10K Gauss magnetic surface.

Please Note

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

Actual magnetic separation performance depends on factors including the size, shape and magnetic properties of the contaminant, product characteristics, material flow rate, installation geometry and distance from the magnetic surface.

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

Strong magnetic fields may affect pacemakers, medical implants, magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment. Appropriate workplace procedures should be followed when installing, cleaning and servicing magnetic separation equipment.
