Whether you want a permanent or electromagnetic separator, there’s probably an application for it in your industry. In addition to the many applications, magnetic separators are extremely low-maintenance and easy to use. We’re going to break down some of the applications of a magnetic separator in our guide below, so read on if you’d like to learn more.

Pharmaceuticals

Most people don’t realize that pharmaceutical facilities can have ferrous particles in their products. There are a number of possibilities for the small metal particles, but what’s important is that the facility gets those particles out efficiently. If you work in the pharmaceutical industry, we don’t need to tell you that metal bits are unacceptable in pharmaceutical drugs. Separating your product from contaminants is a standard process and with the aid of a magnet, as it allows you to separate metal contaminants with ease.

Food Processing

Much like the pharmaceutical industry, nobody wants to consume foods contaminated with metal. If food processing facilities didn’t adopt magnetic separation, the result on people’s health and wellness could be catastrophic. To be frank, a food processing facility that doesn’t implement magnetic separation is opening themselves up to recalls and lawsuits. If you work in a food manufacturing facility or agriculture, you know that recalls and lawsuits can be detrimental to your finances and your company’s recognition.

Scrap Yards

Unsurprisingly, scrap yards handle tons of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, both of which are vital to the business’s success. Depending on the scrap yard’s location, they may have a lot of ferrous metal, a lot of non-ferrous metal, or a mixture of the two. From a business standpoint, most scrap yards want non-ferrous metals because there’s less supply, which generally makes them more valuable. With the aid of a quality magnetic separator or a material handler magnet, you can easily separate ferrous metals from non-ferrous metals.

These are only a few of the applications of a magnetic separator. Other industries that benefit from separators include recycling, waste management, and the nuclear industry. In other words, magnetic separators can probably be a benefit to your company in one way or another.
