Magnetic Humps - Plastics Industry
Magnetic Humps provide a simple and effective way to remove tramp iron contamination from gravity or pneumatically conveyed dry, free flowing products. Using two plate magnets in a dogleg shaped housing, the Magnetic Hump takes advantage of the density of the ferrous material. The heavier metallics are more likely to work their way toward the face of the magnet, increasing the probability of capture. With the two magnets and dogleg housing, the design is such that if ferrous metal is not removed with the first magnet, it will be captured by the second.
