Overview

Ferrous protection for liquid pipelines

Inline pipe magnets are fabricated in stainless-steel housings and designed to work under pressure lines. Used in liquid lines where fine ferrous contamination needs to be arrested, these high-power magnets hold iron contamination strongly even under constant line pressure. The separator can be installed in any position in a pipeline and connected to new or existing pipework through flanged connectors or TC clamps, then cleaned manually at periodic intervals. For dry powder moving in a pneumatic line rather than liquid, see the bullet magnet.

Select the model from your line size, then check the flowability column that matches your product — a viscous product moves far more slowly through the same bore than a free-flowing liquid.

Specify line size, connection type and operating pressure when enquiring. Specifications are subject to change with continuous design improvement — contact us for a certified drawing and data sheet for your duty.

Features & benefits

Built for pressurised process lines

Stainless housing

Fabricated in stainless-steel housings, suited to hygienic and wet process duties.

Works under pressure

Designed to operate within pressure lines, holding iron strongly under constant line pressure.

Any orientation

Can be installed in any position in the pipeline to fit your layout.

Flange or TC clamp

Connects to new or existing pipelines through flanged connectors or TC clamps.

Captures fine ferrous

High-power magnet arrests fine iron contamination carried in the liquid stream.

Selected to viscosity

Specified by liquid viscosity — fluid & strained, fibrous & pulpy, or thick & heavy.

Inline pipe magnet selected to liquid viscosity

Selection

Chosen for your liquid’s viscosity

The right inline pipe magnet depends on how the liquid behaves. We select the unit based on the viscosity of your line — fluid & strained, fibrous & pulpy, or thick & heavy viscosity — so the magnet geometry suits the flow and captures fine ferrous effectively.

Connection is straightforward on new or existing pipework through flanged connectors or TC clamps, and the magnet is cleaned manually at periodic intervals to keep it working at full strength.

Applications

Wherever liquids flow through pipework

Food & beverage liquids Dairy & syrups Chemicals & coatings Pharmaceuticals Pulp & slurry lines Sauces & pastes

FAQs

Inline Pipe Magnet — common questions

Can it run under line pressure?

Yes. Inline pipe magnets are designed to work under pressure lines and hold iron contamination strongly even under constant line pressure.

How does it connect to my pipeline?

It can be installed with new or existing pipelines through flanged connectors or TC clamps, and can be fitted in any position in the line.

How is the right unit selected?

Selection is based on the liquid viscosity — fluid & strained, fibrous & pulpy, or thick & heavy viscosity. Tell us your liquid and we’ll specify accordingly.

How is it cleaned?

The magnet is cleaned manually at periodic intervals to remove the captured ferrous and keep it working at full strength.
