Abstract:
A magnetic filtration apparatus to separate ferrous contaminant material from a working fluid. The separation apparatus has a housing that is divided into a plurality of filtration chambers, each chamber having an elongate magnetic core to generate a magnetic field to entrap the contaminant material as it flows through the filter body. A fluid communication passageway is provided between the first and second chambers and is positioned such that the fluid exposure to the magnetic fields is maximised.
Abstract:
A magnetic separator (10) is arranged, in use, to locate within separating apparatus in order to extract magnetic contaminants from materials and, in particular, from free flowing dry materials, such as flour. New magnetic separator (10) comprises an annular frame member (12) and a plurality of parallel magnetic members (14). In use, the magnetic separator is vibrated in order to aid the flow of the material through the apparatus. The magnetic separator is sealed within the processing apparatus through the use of a resilient seal which is compressed between the magnetic separator and the secure mechanism. Accordingly, as the magnetic separator (10) is vibrated the seal is subject to high forces which may cause the seal to fracture or otherwise fail with time. The seal comprises a magnetic detectable material such that if a part of the seal is separated and enters the material then magnetic means may then extract this contaminant in order to prevent the part of the seal entering the final product.
