Hump Magnet | Cascade & Plate-in-Chute Magnetic Separator for Tramp Iron Removal

Overview

The Hump Magnet, also known as a Cascade Magnet or Plate-in-Chute Magnet, is a high-performance magnetic separator designed for effective tramp iron removal in both gravity-fed and pneumatic material handling systems. Its dual-plate design captures ferrous contaminants efficiently, protecting downstream equipment and maintaining smooth material flow. Suitable for industries such as food processing, feed production, plastics, ceramics, and minerals, the Hump Magnet ensures reliable product quality.

The dog-leg housing guides material to contact each magnetic plate sequentially, optimizing the removal of iron filings and other metal debris. Compact half-hump models are available for low-clearance installations, offering adaptable solutions for various production setups.

Key Features & Benefits

Dual Magnetic Plates

The dual-plate design ensures two-stage separation, improving the capture of metal contaminants and reducing material bypass. This system enhances separation efficiency for a variety of bulk materials.

Hump-Style Flow Channel

The angled flow channel directs materials toward the magnetic surfaces, reducing bridging and allowing consistent flow even with bulky or abrasive materials.

Cleaning Options

To minimize downtime, the separator offers:

• Manual cleaning for standard maintenance

• Easy-Clean hinged strip system for quick access

• Pneumatic self-cleaning for automated operation

These options help maintain continuous operation with consistent performance.

Durable Construction

Made from SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel, the unit is hygienic and suitable for food and feed applications. High-temperature models can process heated materials without affecting magnetic efficiency.

Custom Configurations

• Half-hump models for low-clearance installations
