The hopper magnet separator is an essential magnetic filtering device designed to capture fine ferrous impurities from free-flowing powders and granules before they enter processing equipment. With its compact structure and easy installation, it effectively protects injection molding machines, extruders, and mixers from metal contamination, improving both product purity and equipment lifespan.
The hopper magnet separator is widely used in industries that require fine magnetic filtration, such as:
Plastic & Polymer Processing: Protects injection and extrusion equipment from ferrous metal damage.
Food Production: Ensures high product purity in sugar, flour, and spice production lines.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Maintains process stability and reduces contamination risks.
Recycling & Powder Coating Lines: Removes residual metallic dust for cleaner output.
The hopper magnet filter features multiple high-intensity magnetic rods made of strong neodymium rare earth magnets (NdFeB), enclosed in polished stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance. The design ensures continuous, stable magnetic performance even under high-temperature environments.
Each magnetic bar typically offers a strength between 10,000 and 12,000 Gauss, ensuring efficient removal of iron filings, small screws, and other metal fragments from plastic granules, food powders, and chemical raw materials.

All design, safety, and testing procedures comply with relevant international guidelines and ASTM A342 / A342M – Standard Test Methods for Permeability of Weakly Magnetic Materials, ensuring verified magnetic reliability and consistency.
High Magnetic Intensity: NdFeB magnetic bars up to 14,000 GS ensure effective separation of even micro iron particles.
Modular Structure: Easy to install or remove for cleaning; available in square and round designs to fit various hoppers.
Durable Construction: Made from 304/316L stainless steel for long service life and resistance to wear and corrosion.
Customized Options: Adjustable magnetic strength, diameter, and number of bars according to material flow.
Hygienic Design: Smooth surface finish minimizes powder adhesion and simplifies maintenance.Built for Zero-Contamination: To ensure the highest sanitary standards, every Hopper Magnet Separator undergoes specialized stress-relief grinding.
