Magnetic separators that prevent metal contamination from raw material to finished product and support HACCP and EHEDG compliance.
Challenges in food production
A growing world population and rising living standards are increasing demand for high-quality, safe food every day. To meet this demand, food and beverage producers need reliable, efficient and sustainable production lines.
The biggest threat: food contamination
One of the greatest risks in food production is contamination by foreign bodies or bacteria. Such contaminants can lead to returns, mass recalls, high costs and lasting damage to a brand’s reputation.
Where does metal contamination come from?
- Contaminated raw materials
- Machine wear and breakage
- Insufficient equipment maintenance
Contaminants range from large parts such as nuts and bolts to metal dust at micron level (30 µm). Bacterial growth on hard-to-clean pipes, seals and surfaces is an additional threat to food safety.
Magnetic separators designed for food safety
Magnetic separators on food lines prevent contamination by effectively capturing iron and stainless steel particles. Choosing the right separator for each process is critical: viscosity, temperature, humidity and pressure all play a role in determining the right magnet.
Keeping quality and efficiency consistent
The performance of metal separators can decline over time; heat, impact and wear can reduce magnet strength. Magnet systems therefore need regular inspection. Checks with advanced instruments such as 3D gaussmeters help meet food safety standards such as HACCP and EHEDG.
Engineering and simulation power
We develop custom magnet systems to remove metal contamination from food products as effectively as possible. Using 3D magnetic simulation and detailed engineering calculations, we design systems for each application that deliver:
- Maximum separation efficiency
- High hygiene standards
- Easy cleaning
