Demagnetization refers to the loss of strength of a magnetic separator. How is it caused? Read this blog post to find out.

Magnattack Global recently helped an Australian winemaker save thousands of dollars in the repair of their equipment by installing an RE80 Dimple-Mag plate magnet in their grapes intake area.

"Prepare and prevent, don't repair and repent" - Unknown.

Even the tiniest of foreign metal fragments can be retained by Magnattack RE80 Magnetic Separators.

"A safe global food supply can only be achieved through the development of effective food safety management systems, which are essential to the well being of consumers, farmers, processors, and manufacturers." - Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., FDA Commissioner.

The Mag-Ram overcomes two of the major problems meat renderers face - high levels of metal contamination and insufficient magnetic separators.

Q: How do I know if my magnetic separators are effective as they should be?  A: A common misconception in the food industry is that the effectiveness of a magnetic separator is determined by its gauss or pull test alone....but this isn't correct! The strength of the magnet, whilst important, is only 1...

"We can’t inspect safety in our food supply. Instead, we should work on building an organizational culture focused on driving improvements in food safety."

Magnattack Global Food Safety Quote of the Week: "Each and every member of the food industry, from farm to fork, must create a culture where food safety and nutrition is paramount." - Bill Marler.

Magnattack™ Global has developed a new RE80™HT Magnetic Separator solution to assist pet food manufacturing companies with foreign metal fragment control. The RE80™HT Meat Emulsion & Slurry Pipeline Separator was developed and successfully trialed in 2016 with a major multi-national pet food manufacturer.

"Each stage of the supply chain that delivers food from the farm to the dinner table is obligated to improve, or at a minimum not degrade, the food risk profile." - Mike Robach, V.P. Corporate Food Safety and Regulatory Affairs. 

Like metal detectors and various other food processing equipment, it is important that magnetic separators are tested regularly to determine if they are effective and providing adequate foreign metal fragment control. Which test is most effective - pull test or gauss test?
