Grate Magnets – Plate Magnets

Grate Magnets

Grate Magnet

Grate magnets remove small particles of ferrous metal from free-flowing powders and granular materials. Standard construction features 1″ round tubes filled with either high grade ceramic or rare earth magnets. These tubes and grate magnets can be supplied either unhoused or housed in a variety of configurations to meet the needs of your application.

Our standard products are listed below:

UNHOUSED	DESCRIPTION	APPLICATION
TUBE	Single tubes filled with ceramic or rare earth magnet material.	Custom-fabricated products or other unique applications
GRID	No frame; two cross pieces support magnetic tubes.	Locations too confined for framed type, or for irregular openings.	Grid
PLAIN FRAME	Magnetic tubes within a four-sided frame	General purpose.
HEAVY-DUTY FRAME	Larger, square magnetic tubes; greater surface area; wider tube spacing for this type of grate magnet.	High volume applications, such as grain processing.	Heavy Duty Grate Magnet
WING TYPE	Plain frame with wings on sides to funnel material into grate.	General purpose.
DRAWER	Drawer can be pulled out of chute for cleaning.	For installation in existing chute.
HOUSED
STANDARD	Grate drawer contains magnetic tubes in a housing.	General purpose.
EASY CLEAN	Grate drawer contains tube-within-a-tube assemblies	For applications requiring greater cleaning convenience.	Easy Clean Grate Magnet
AUTO CLEAN	Pneumatic system cleans rare earth magnetic tubes automatically.	Inaccessible location, or material with high ferrous contamination.
ROTARY	Motorized, with tubes in a circular arrangement.	Prevents cohesive powders and fibrous materials from bridging.
HOPPER	Slide gate, transparent drawer face, other industry specific features.	Plastics Industry.	Hopper Grate Magnet

Plate Magnets

If you’re engaged in bulk processing – food, grain, chemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, minerals, etc. – protect your valuable equipment and your customers from tramp metal contamination with a Dings Ferroplate plate magnet. The high surface strength of these plate magnets makes them ideally suited for sloping chute applications. These magnets are available as a plate to be installed in an existing process or preinstalled in a variety of Ferroplate equipped products.

Dings unique design features raised pole pieces to provide better protection. Since the strongest magnetic field on any plate magnet is between the two poles, most of the tramp metal will accumulate in the gap between the poles. The plate magnets’ raised magnetic pole pieces create a recess in this area which holds the attracted metal more securely than designs which have a narrow raised strip between the poles.

Dings Ferroplate magnets are offered in five different styles with varying magnetic strengths to work in a variety of applications:

Dings Ferroplate Equipped Products
For applications where the installation is not in a rectangular, sloping chute, choose from this line of plate magnet equipped products:
Perma Chute Perma Chute magnets are designed for applications where space is limited, materials can’t pass freely through a grate magnet, or when the chute is too vertical for a plate magnet to work effectively. A Quick Clean model is also available with a built-in drawer for disposing of the separated metal.	Perma Chute Plate Magnet
Magnetic Hump Plate Magnet	Magnetic Hump These specially shaped separators are used in rectangular chutes or round pipes where flow speeds and depths exceed the capacity of plate magnets. Humps are recommended if the flow is vertical, or if the angle of the chute is more than 70 degrees. An Easy Clean model with pneumatic self-cleaning mechanism is also offered.
Round Pipe Separator This separator allows Ferroplates to be used on round, sloping chutes carrying dry material.If has a plate magnet mounted on a rectangular center section, with round adapters on each end.	Round Pipe Magnetic Separator
Hydro Hump Magnetic Separator	Hydro Hump Ferroplates in an angled housing remove ferrous contaminants in a liquid pipeline. It has a pressure tight design and 150 lb. flange fittings on both ends.
