FAQ

Loss of magnet strength is called 'demagnetization'. This article covers off on some causes of demagnetization.

In basic terms, 'shorting-out' is used in food industry magnetics to describe when the surface strength is 'used up' by the build-up of contaminants collected on the surface of the magnet.

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

Are My Magnetic Separators Effective?

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?

This weeks Magnet FAQ is in relation to operator safety. If you have a cardiac pacemaker, should you be handling dangerous magnets? How close can you go? Safety is a top priority in the workplace. Read this blog post for information.

Metal Detectors and Magnetic Separators are both commonly used for foreign metal fragment control in the food industry. In most applications, it is recommended to install both types of equipment. Why? Read this blog post to find out.

Selecting magnetic separators may seem like a straight-forward task, but there are a number of important considerations you should think about before purchasing. To help you out, we've put together a quick list. Read them here >

Is stainless steel magnetic? What about stone? Read this blog post to find out how stainless steel & stone can be extracted from food product streams by magnetic separators.

Magnetic Separators are a well-known & proven method of extracting metal fragments from processing lines such as food, pharma, mining, recycling, etc...Despite being a well-known piece of equipment, we sometimes get asked the question - what is a magnetic separator?

What are magnetic separators? Where are they used? How do they work? Why are they needed? These are questions that are commonly asked by people who are unfamiliar with the process of magnetic separation. So, we're breaking it down.
