Overview - Rota-Grid Separator

High intensity magnetic separator for dry, semi-dry powders and granulates

The Rota-Grid unit comprises of a centrally mounted magnetic rota which incorporates several "Easy-Clean" magnetic rods. This rotates to gently agitate the product, therefore preventing any blockages and ensuring flow continuity.

While the primary function of this unit is to extract ferrous contamination from the product that is prone to caking or bridging, the rotary action of the grid means contamination is presented to a greater number of magnetic surfaces than a standard fixed grid, offering even more effective contamination removal.

The Rota-Grid magnetic separator can be supplied to Pharmaceutical standards if required.

Applications
Suitable for the magnetic separation of dry and semi-dry powders and granulates
Can be installed in any vertical process line

Benefits
Housed easy-clean grid magnets are easy to clean
High collection capacity of contamination
Removes micron-sized contaminants
Reduces 'spark' risk
