Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. introduces its Wheat Magnetic Separator, designed and built in our China factory to remove metallic contaminants from bulk wheat streams. This equipment safeguards downstream milling components, protects product purity, and ensures compliance with food-safety regulations.
Separation Principle
The Wheat Magnetic Separator operates on the principle that ferrous particles respond to magnetic fields while wheat kernels remain unaffected. Grain flows over a magnetic drum or through a magnetized tube, where tramp metal—such as iron filings, wire fragments, and processing debris—is captured on the magnetic surface. A self-cleaning mechanism releases the collected metal into a reject bin without interrupting the wheat flow.
Core Features
High-Intensity Magnetic Drum: Rare-earth magnets generate surface fields up to 8,000 gauss, ensuring capture of fine ferrous contaminants.
Adjustable Feed Rate: Variable-speed rotary feeders maintain an even grain curtain for maximum metal extraction.
Self-Clean Function: The drum’s scraper and discharge chute automatically divert collected metal particles to a sealed container, enabling continuous operation.
Sanitary Construction: All product-contact parts use food-grade stainless steel and smooth welds to prevent bacterial harborage.
Compact Footprint: Designed for integration at key points—such as intake hoppers or post-cleaning conveyors—without extensive layout modifications.
Applications and Advantages
Installed ahead of roller mills or flour sifters, the Wheat Magnetic Separator reduces wear on expensive processing machinery and minimizes the risk of metal particles in the final flour. Seed cleaning facilities benefit from improved seed purity, protecting the value of certified wheat seed. Typical throughput capacities range from 10 t/h to 50 t/h, depending on model size.
Maintenance and Support
Routine tasks include inspecting the magnetic surface for wear, checking scraper alignment, and emptying the metal collection bin. Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. provides preventative-maintenance schedules, spare magnet modules, and field-service technicians to ensure reliable long-term operation.
