How to Choose a Magnetic Grill for a Powder Processing Line
A magnetic grill catches ferrous particles as powder falls between rows of magnetic rods. The right layout depends on how freely your powder flows, what you need to capture, and how often operators can clean the grill.
Match the grill to the way your powder flows
Start with your peak throughput in kg/h and how the powder behaves at that rate. Clumpy or sticky material can bridge over tight openings. Wider spacing can improve flow, while a staggered second layer can bring material that passes through the first layer’s gaps closer to a magnetic surface. A trial with your powder is useful when bridging is a concern.
Single layer, double layer, or drawer-style?
Single layer works where installation height is tight and operators can lift the grill out for cleaning.
Staggered double layer adds a second row of interception points. Check the available height and whether the two layers can handle peak throughput.
Drawer-style access is worth considering when cleaning is frequent and the line has enough side clearance to withdraw the assembly.
Check where Gauss is measured
Ask where the supplier takes the Gauss reading and what particle size and material you need to capture. A rod-surface reading alone cannot predict capture in a moving powder stream. Share the maximum operating and cleaning temperatures and any requirements for stainless steel grade or finish.
What to send for a quotation
Send the clear opening dimensions, a photo or drawing of the hopper or chute, the powder type, peak kg/h, maximum temperature, and the contamination you need to remove. Include the space available to withdraw the grill for cleaning.
