Magnetic separator for the chemical, plastics and wood industries
Magnetic separators for the chemical, plastics processing and wood industries: powders, granules, liquids, wood chips.
In brief
- Lenoir-MEC designs magnetic separators for the chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics processing and wood industries.
- They remove ferrous particles from chemical powders, granules and liquids, from plastic granules before processing, and from wood chips and sawdust.
- Metal detectors locate contaminants before moulding, extrusion or wood processing.
Challenges in the chemical, plastics and wood industries
A magnetic separator for the chemical and plastics processing industries ensures product purity and protects processing machinery. In the wood industry, removing nails and metal objects before shredding or processing prevents tool breakage.
Contaminants to remove
- Ferrous particles in chemical powders, granules and liquids, solutions, suspensions and emulsified powders.
- Metal contaminants in plastic granules, before moulding or extrusion.
- Nails and metal objects in wood, wood chips, sawdust and wood dust.
- Aluminium mixed with mixed plastics in recycling streams.
Suitable Lenoir-MEC equipment
Powders, granules and dry products
- SGA self-cleaning magnetic separator: purifies plastic granules before processing and removes ferrous particles from chemical powders and granules.
- SGCM grate magnet separator and SGCP grate magnet separator: separation of ferromagnetic particles from dry bulk products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics industries.
- SPM plate magnet separator: purification of plastic granules and of wood chips, sawdust and wood dust.
- BMN magnetic bar: removes ferrous particles from chemical powders and liquids and cleans plastic granules.
- SLT high-intensity magnetic separator: extraction of weakly magnetic particles, used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Liquids
- FM magnetic filter: purification of liquid solutions, suspensions and emulsified powders in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Wood and conveyors
- OV electromagnetic overband magnet: protects processing lines in the wood industry and separates ferrous metals from mixed materials (wood, plastics).
- OVAPEM permanent magnet overband for mobile plant: removes ferrous metals from wood, plastics and commercial and industrial waste streams to protect shredders and refiners.
- RD fixed sorting electromagnet: used in particular in the chemical industry.
- PELICAN eddy current separator: recovery of aluminium from mixed plastics.
Detection
- C-SCAN industrial metal detector: locates metal contaminants before plastics moulding or extrusion; also used in the pharmaceutical industry.
- DDMC metal detector: detects nails or other metal objects in wood before processing.
Frequently asked questions
How can plastic granules be purified before processing?
The SGA, the SPM plate magnet separator and the BMN magnetic bars remove ferrous particles from granules; the C-SCAN detector locates any remaining metal contaminants before moulding or extrusion.
Which separator for chemical and pharmaceutical liquids?
The FM magnetic filter purifies liquid solutions, suspensions and emulsified powders. Its stainless steel construction complies with pharmaceutical standards and is compatible with CIP/SIP cleaning.
How can nails be detected in wood?
The DDMC metal detector locates nails in wood before processing. It is used in the mining, recycling and wood sectors.
