Magnetic separator

Also called: magnetic separator machine, grain magnet, drum magnet, magnet separator

Step 2 of 8: Cleaning

Magnets in the grain flow that catch nails, wire and other bits of iron before they can damage the rolls and stones of the machines that follow.

Magnetic separator: how it works

  1. Grain flows in a thin stream over or between strong magnets.
  2. Nails, wire, bolts and other iron stick to the magnet while the grain passes on.
  3. The caught iron is wiped off by hand at intervals, or thrown off by the machine itself.

Main types

Plate or grate magnet
Fixed magnets set in a chute or a hopper. Cleaned by hand.
Drum magnet
A turning shell around a fixed magnet carries the iron round and drops it into a separate outlet.
Permanent magnet and electromagnet
Permanent magnets need no power. Electromagnets can be switched off to release the iron.

Where it fits in the process

It sits in the cleaning section, after the sieves and before the husker, and again wherever a costly machine needs protecting.

  • The grain, and how much passes in an hour.
  • Where it will be fitted: a chute, a pipe or a conveyor, and its size.
  • Hand-cleaned or self-cleaning.

Common questions

Why does a rice mill need a magnetic separator?

Bits of iron in paddy cut rubber rolls, damage whitener stones and screens, and can strike sparks in dusty air. A magnet is a small part that protects the costly machines after it and keeps metal out of the rice.

Does a magnetic separator remove stones?

No. It removes only iron and steel. Stones are taken out by the destoner, and other metals such as aluminium are not attracted by a magnet.

What is the price of a magnetic separator in Bangladesh?

We do not publish prices. The price depends on the type, the size of the chute or conveyor it fits and whether it cleans itself. Send us the points listed above and we will quote.

More machines in this step: Cleaning

  • Pre-cleaner

    Vibrating sieves and a draft of air that take out straw, dust, chaff and large stones before the paddy goes into the mill.

  • Destoner

    A sloping, vibrating deck with air blown up through it. The grain floats down one way while the heavier stones climb the deck and leave at the top.
