Common Plastics & Rubber Industry Contaminants
Manufacturing facilities commonly encounter ferrous contamination. Removing these contaminants before processing helps prevent product defects and expensive equipment failures.
Metal Shavings
Metal shavings may be generated by machinery wear, maintenance activity, conveyors, and processing equipment.
Wire Fragments
Wire fragments can enter material streams during handling, transport, maintenance, or production activity.
Fasteners and Bolts
Loose fasteners and bolts can contaminate material streams and damage downstream processing equipment.
Processing Equipment Wear Particles
Wear particles from production equipment can enter pellets, powders, compounds, and regrind material.
Stainless Steel Fragments
Stainless steel fragments can compromise product quality and may require high-strength magnetic separation.
Rust Contamination
Rust contamination from equipment, storage systems, conveyors, or handling systems can affect material purity.
Tool Fragments
Tool fragments can enter the process during maintenance, repairs, and plant operations.
Regrind Contamination
Regrind material can carry metal contamination from previous production, handling, or recycling processes.
Conveyor Wear Particles
Conveyor wear particles can contaminate plastic pellets, rubber compounds, powders, and additives.
Ferrous Dust
Fine ferrous dust can enter production streams and affect product quality and machinery performance.
Core Applications
Injection Moulding
Magnetic separators protect moulding machines, screws, barrels, and hot-runner systems from metal contamination.
Extrusion Processing
Magnets remove ferrous particles before material enters extruders, protecting screws, dies, and processing equipment.
Plastic Recycling & Regrind
Magnetic systems remove metal contamination from recycled plastics, regrind material, and reclaimed products.
Rubber Manufacturing
Magnetic separation improves product quality by removing contaminants from rubber compounds, powders, and additives.
