Magnetic Hump

A two-stage magnet for removing tramp iron from powder flowing down a vertical pipe — two Super Power Rare Earth plates on a zigzag path force material across both magnets so it leaves clean and iron-free.

Overview

Clean, iron-free powder in a vertical drop

The magnetic hump is used for removing tramp iron mixed with powder flowing down a vertical pipe. It consists of two Super Power Rare Earth magnetic plates hinged on a zigzag path, so falling material is deflected across both magnet faces in turn. The hinged plates open easily for cleaning, making maintenance quick and ensuring a clean, iron-free product downstream. For a pressure-conveying line rather than a gravity dogleg, the bullet magnet does the same job in-line.

Features & benefits

Two magnets, one clean stream

Super Power Rare Earth

Two high-intensity Rare Earth plates deliver strong capture of tramp iron from powders.

Zigzag path

The zigzag layout forces falling material across both magnet faces for thorough separation.

Two-stage capture

Major iron is caught on the first plate; the second removes any particles that escape.

Vertical pipe fit

Designed to sit in a vertical pipe where powder flows down under gravity.

Hinged for cleaning

The hinged magnetic plates open easily so captured iron is cleared quickly.

Clean product

Two passes ensure a clean, iron-free material reaches your process.

Magnetic hump working principle

Working principle

Two magnets across a zigzag drop

As the material falls, it strikes directly on the first magnet plate. Major iron contamination is deposited here, drawn straight out of the powder stream at the first impact.

The material then flows on to the second magnet, where any escaped iron particles are removed. This two-stage zigzag path ensures clean, iron-free material — and because both plates are hinged, they open easily for quick cleaning.

Applications

Wherever powder drops through a pipe

Food & flour processing Chemicals & minerals Plastics & polymers Pharmaceuticals Dairy & powders Ceramics & pigments

FAQs

Magnetic Hump — common questions

What is a magnetic hump used for?
It removes tramp iron mixed with powder flowing down a vertical pipe, using two Super Power Rare Earth magnetic plates arranged on a zigzag path.
Why are there two magnet plates?
When material falls it strikes the first plate, where major iron is deposited. It then flows to the second magnet, which removes any escaped particles — ensuring clean, iron-free material.
How is it cleaned?
The hinged magnetic plates open easily, so the captured iron can be cleared quickly and the unit returned to service.
Where does it install?
It is designed to sit in a vertical pipe where powder flows down under gravity, deflecting the material across both magnet faces.
