Grid / Grate Magnets

Grid / Grate Magnets

Grid / Grate Magnets provide high-intensity magnetic separation for free-flowing powders, granules, and dry product streams. Available as loose grid tubes, housed grid magnets, and grid magnets in frames, they are designed for hoppers, chutes, pipelines, gravity-fed processing lines, quality control, laboratory testing, and hygienic product protection. Food-grade stainless steel construction, seal-welded tubes, sanitary polishing, and appropriate tube spacing help maintain product flow while removing ferrous contamination.

Grid / Grate Magnets Overview

Grid magnets, also known as grate magnets, tube magnets, bar magnets, grill magnets, and hopper magnets, are manufactured from food-grade stainless steel tubes and designed for hygienic magnetic separation of powders, granules, and free-flowing products. Tubes are seal-welded, polished, and spaced to maintain optimal material flow while capturing ferrous contaminants. Grid / Grate Magnets are available as loose grid tubes, housed grid magnets, and grid magnets in frames for use across food processing, plastics, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, recycling, carbon processing, quality control, laboratory testing, chemical processing, grain milling, farming, agriculture, bulk powder handling, and general industrial applications.

Grid / Grate Magnet Types

Grid / Grate Magnets are available in different formats depending on installation method, product flow, cleaning requirements, and industry application.

Loose Grid Tubes

Loose Grid Tubes are high-intensity magnetic bars used individually or incorporated into custom magnetic systems. They remove ferrous contamination from powders, granules, and free-flowing products. Industries served include food processing, plastics, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, recycling, carbon processing, quality control, and laboratory testing.
