Spout or Bullet Magnet

The Greenwood Spout or Bullet Magnet is a compact, efficient in-line magnetic separator for extracting ferrous metal contamination from either gravity fed or pneumatic pipelines. It is normally fitted into pneumatic process lines, often for food powders, and intake lines with high velocity where abrasive products (such as wheat) can present a problem. The magnets are positioned in such a way as to give good access, as they need to be cleaned regularly.

To clean the magnet, the star knobs are unbolted and the door with the magnet removed from the housing. For faster access we also offer the clients the choice of quick release swing bolts. On larger applications where the pressure is low (or gravity fed) the magnet is attached to a round door which swings out. The magnet is then cleaned manually and replaced. For flour lines with iron additive, we recommend a maximum strength of 7000 gauss so that the iron additive is not removed from the product.
