26.08.2013 Removing weakly magnetic particles from foodstuffs

Goudsmit Magnetic Systems, Waalre, the Netherlands, will be introducing a new type of magnet at SOLIDS Rotterdam 2013, 2-3 October (Stand A1017). This semi-automatic clean-flow magnet is composed of magnetic bars and it filters weak magnetic and very small metal particles (from 30mHu) from foodstuffs and other products. Particles smaller than 1mm are, in fact, not detected by a metal detector and continue therefore to be present in the product. The system reaches a maximum magnetic value of 11,500 gauss, while the minimum value is never below 700 gauss. This means that also stainless steel 316 particles can be removed. The magnet can be used in free fall pipes in various industries and needs a low built-in height of 150mm. 

Following the development of this system, Goudsmit together with its clients, have developed a standard test for measuring the efficiency of the magnets in relation to products contaminated with metal. This makes it possible to compare the various magnet solutions and arrive at the best choice. www.goudsmit.eu
