Process continuity, product purity and equipment safety with magnetic filters and separators built for harsh conditions.
Applications in the chemical, plastics and ore industries
In the chemical, plastics and ore processing industries, which demand high precision, one of the key ways to reach quality, safety and sustainability goals is to minimise metal contamination in processes. Magnetic filtration and separation technologies offer an indispensable solution here.
Protection against metal contamination in chemicals and plastics
Detergents, solvents, pigments and conductive materials such as carbon black used in battery production are highly sensitive to microscopic metal particles. Rust and similar impurities can disrupt chemical reactions, alter product properties and create safety risks.
In the plastics industry, metal in granules, powders or flakes can block injection moulding machines, damage moulds and lower quality. Especially with transparent or technically demanding parts, a single invisible piece of metal can cause an entire batch to be rejected.
Magnetic filter systems protect process continuity, cut maintenance costs and improve line safety. With self-cleaning systems, separation continues without interrupting production.
The role of magnetic separation in ore processing
Ore can contain unwanted metal particles, stones and weakly magnetic minerals. During grinding, classification, flotation and beneficiation these cause machine wear, wasted energy and lower yields.
- Strongly magnetic minerals such as iron ore are separated effectively with powerful magnets
- Impurities in valuable minerals such as copper, gold or lithium can be removed beforehand by magnetic separation
- Metal content in minerals such as quartz and feldspar for the ceramic and glass industry can be kept close to zero
- Damage and downtime caused by tramp metal entering mills and conveyors are prevented
