Hopper Magnet
A Hopper Magnet is a permanent magnetic separator installed inside hoppers, bins, chutes, silos, and gravity feed systems to remove ferrous contaminants from dry free-flowing materials. It consists of high-intensity magnetic tubes or magnetic grids enclosed within a durable stainless-steel frame.
As materials pass through the magnetic field, iron particles are attracted and retained on the magnetic tubes, allowing only clean product to continue through the process. Hopper Magnets are widely used in food, pharmaceutical, plastic, chemical, ceramic, mineral, and recycling industries to maintain product purity and protect downstream machinery.
Magbro Tech Industries manufactures premium-quality Hopper Magnets using high-performance Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets and high-grade stainless steel construction. Our Hopper Magnets are designed to provide maximum magnetic exposure while ensuring unrestricted material flow.
Available in round, square, rectangular, single-layer, double-layer, and customized designs, our Hopper Magnets offer reliable magnetic separation, easy cleaning, and long service life for continuous industrial operation.
Working Principle
The Hopper Magnet is installed inside a hopper, bin, or gravity chute.
- Material flows by gravity through the magnetic grid.
- Ferrous contaminants are attracted to the magnetic bars.
- Clean material passes freely through the openings.
- Captured iron particles remain on the magnetic tubes until routine cleaning.
This simple process provides continuous protection against metal contamination without affecting production.
