Meat Emulsions, Slurries, and Viscous Liquids

ACHIEVE EFFICIENT MAGNETIC SEPARATION IN THICK, VISCOUS LIQUIDS & SLURRIES

It is often difficult to efficiently extract weakly magnetic fragments from viscous meat emulsions. The thick, slurry-like nature of the product can present several issues and problems that can have a detrimental effect on magnetic separation.

• Flow difficulties are often made worse with unintelligent magnet designs restricting the flow
• Captured magnetic fragments can be dislodged by the heavy stream of oncoming product if the magnet design doesn’t allow for maximum retention of the collected magnetics

Inadequate metal fragment controls have many consequences, including contamination of final product, consumer complaints, product recall, financial damage, and damage to brand integrity and reputation.

Recognising a serious problem with existing and conventional magnet technology, the Magnattack® R&D team recently developed a special hydro-dynamic magnetic separation system specifically for viscous liquids & meat slurries.

RE80® EMULSION & SLURRY PIPELINE SEPARATOR

The Magnattack® RE80® Emulsion & Pipeline Separator features powerful, high-intensity +11,000 Gauss Acutex Probe Magnets. These patented Magnets intercept the flow of product and extract physical metal fragments including work hardened stainless steel (originating from equipment wear) and magnetic stone particles.

The hydrodynamic design of this system makes efficient magnetic separation in viscous liquids and slurries a reality.

The Emulsion & Slurry Pipeline Separator has proven to be more sanitary, more effective, and cost-efficient alternative to Liquid Trap Magnets.

The Emulsion & Slurry Pipeline Separator suits products with lumps sized to approximately ½” / 12 mm and is suitable for positive pressure and suction lines.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SELECTING MAGNETS FOR EMULSIFIED MEATS & VISCOUS LIQUIDS

• Will the magnet acheive efficient magnetic separation and foreign metal fragment control?
• Does the magnet design reduce risk of metal fragments becoming dislodged by oncoming product flow?
• Is the magnet design sanitary and compliant?
• Is the magnet simple and effective to clean and maintain?
• Does the separator assembly comprise of high grade magnetics (such asRE80®) to ensure longevity and maintaining of magnet strength?
• Is design criteria is in place to ensure effective magnetic separation is achieved without blockage of viscous material?
• What means are taken to ensure magnet strength is maintained over time?
• Does the magnet comply with current HACCP and best practice standards (e.g. 0909MAGSEP 1-2010)?
• Is the magnet supplied with adequate certification?
