Magnet Plates: Custom Magnetic Solutions for Industrial Applications
In the world of industrial magnetics, the demand for specialized solutions continues to grow. Among the most powerful and versatile of those solutions are magnet plates. Whether you are operating in food processing, recycling, mining, or manufacturing, magnetic plates serve as an essential tool for removing ferrous contaminants from product flows.
At Magfine Canada, we specialize in providing custom-made magnet plates tailored to your specific operational needs. These are not mass-produced stock items; rather, each magnetic plate is built-to-order based on your equipment setup, product type, and industry requirements.
What Is a Magnet Plate?
A magnet plate is a flat magnetic separator that uses a high-powered magnetic field to draw in and capture ferrous particles from a material stream. They are commonly installed above conveyors or chutes and function without the need for electricity or moving parts, making them both cost-effective and low maintenance.
Often integrated with magnetic bars or tubes in other formats, magnetic plates deliver surface area coverage and easy-clean features essential for contamination control.
Why Are Magnet Plates Custom Made?
Every industrial environment is different. The nature of the material flow, the dimensions of the system, and the intensity of magnetic separation required vary from one facility to another. That’s why we do not stock magnetic plates in our warehouse — each unit is custom fabricated to match your operational parameters.
Our engineers at Magfine work directly with you to determine the most efficient layout, magnet grade, and housing for your application. By tailoring each solution, we ensure you receive maximum separation power and durability.
Applications of Magnet Plates
- Food Processing Facilities
- Recycling Plants
- Wood Processing
- Mining and Aggregate Handling
- Chemical Manufacturing
- Textile and Non-Woven Manufacturing
Magnet plates play a vital role in preventing equipment damage and ensuring product purity. For example, in the food industry, industrial magnets like plates can remove tiny fragments of rust, wire, or steel from flour, grains, or dairy, preventing contamination and costly recalls.
Powerful Magnetic Materials
Magfine’s magnetic plates are crafted using high-strength neodymium magnets or ceramic magnets depending on the application’s temperature and environmental requirements. Neodymium magnet options offer unparalleled strength, ideal for fine ferrous particle extraction.
Whether your facility is dealing with powder, pellet, or granular materials, our magnetic plates can be integrated seamlessly into your existing system.
Benefits of Choosing Custom Magnet Plates
1. Tailored Dimensions
No need to compromise with off-the-shelf sizes. Our custom fabrication ensures precise fitment to your chutes or conveyors.
2. Superior Magnetic Strength
Choose between ceramic or neodymium options. We offer rare-earth magnetic grades to achieve maximum separation even with high throughput volumes.
3. Durability
Our plates are encased in heavy-duty stainless steel to resist corrosion, wear, and harsh chemical exposure. Perfect for industrial-scale production environments.
4. Low Maintenance
With no moving parts or power consumption, magnetic plates require minimal upkeep. We can also design them for easy-clean mechanisms where frequent removal is necessary.
