Wheat Seed Magnetic Separator

Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. introduces the Wheat Seed Magnetic Separator, a standalone unit designed to remove metal contaminants—rust, nails, wire fragments—from wheat seed, enhancing both product purity and equipment protection.


Working Principle
Wheat seed is gravity‑fed or conveyed through a stainless‑steel housing containing one or more high‑strength magnetic drums. As seed flows over the drum’s surface, ferrous particles adhere to the magnet; clean seed continues past. Periodically, a scraper or belt removes captured metal into a reject chute.


Key Components

  • Magnetic Drum: Neodymium or ceramic magnets offering field strengths up to 6,000 Gauss.

  • Stainless‑Steel Housing: Food‑grade construction with adjustable flow channels.

  • Removal Mechanism: Scraper blade or belt conveyor to transport separated metal to waste bin.

  • Feed Control: Inlet gate and flow diverter allow tuning of seed bed depth for optimal contact.

  • Mounting Frame: Vibration‑isolated supports to minimize transmitted forces.


Use Cases and Benefits

  • Pre‑Processing Protection: Shields gravity tables, air-screen cleaners, and hulling machines from metal damage.

  • Food‑Safety Compliance: Meets standards for contaminant removal in seed production.

  • High Throughput: Capable of processing 10–30 t/h of wheat seed, depending on feed rate and drum size.

  • Standalone Simplicity: Can be installed inline or as a batch‑feed unit adjacent to elevator discharge.


Maintenance and Customization
Magnet cleaning requires occasional wipe‑down; housing panels open for full access. Drum sizes and field strengths can be specified to match facility requirements. Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. supplies routine maintenance kits, spare scraper blades, and bearing assemblies to ensure uninterrupted operation.
