Grate & Tube Components - Offer Best Magnetic Drum

Grate & tube components

Cleaner powder and granule lines

Magnetic tubes, grates, and easy-clean frames for hoppers, chutes, drawers, ducts, and gravity-fed lines.

Loose iron is not always a big bolt.
Sometimes it hides inside powder.
Tube position matters. Not just gauss.

Stainless magnetic grate tubes below a powder hopper

Design the magnetic contact point.

What these components actually do

Material falls through tubesGravity brings powder into contact.

Iron sticks to tube surfaceThe field catches magnetic metal.

Clean material continues downFlow stays simple and compact.

Expert note: no magnet removes all metal. It removes magnetic metal.

Contaminante	Can it be captured?	Notes
Iron powder	Yes	Common in powders.
Small screws	Yes	Machine parts.
Iron chips	Yes	Machining waste.
Wire pieces	Yes	From screens and mills.
Weak magnetic stainless	Sometimes	Grade and shape decide.
Aluminum	No	Non-magnetic.
Copper	No	Non-magnetic.
Plastic pieces	No	Needs another method.

Condiciones del material	Better choice	Why
Free-flowing powder	Standard tubes or grate	Good contact and flow.
Plastic pellets	Round tubes or grate	Gentle flow. No hang-up.
Fine flour or starch	High-intensity tubes	Fine iron needs field strength.
Sticky powder	Rejilla de fácil limpieza	It prevents build-up.
Large chunks	Double-row tubes	Better capture area.
Abrasive material	Thicker wall tubes	Longer service life.
Wet slurry	Not recommended	Magnet rods are not enough.
Deep material layer	Multi-layer grate	More contact depth.

If material does not touch the field, gauss is decoration.

Start with material flow

Ask one blunt question first: how does your material move?

Powder needs contact, not guesswork.
Sticky product needs easy cleaning.
Large pieces need wider gaps.

Suitable applications

Plastic pellets.
Food powder.
Grain and seed.
Chemical powder.
Ceramic powder.
Rubber granules.
Wood powder.

Not suitable

Aluminum separation.
Copper separation.
Large scrap sorting.
Wet slurry.
Sticky wet material.

We will say no when a grate magnet is wrong.

Choose the cleaning method carefully

Manual tube

Best for:

Low cleaning frequency.

Weak point:

More labor.

Rejilla de fácil limpieza

Best for:

Frequent cleaning.

Weak point:

Higher initial cost.

Separador magnético tipo cajón

Best for:

Closed systems.

Weak point:

Needs room to pull.

Once per week: manual is fine.

Every shift: use easy-clean.

Every hour: manual is not economical.

Engineering logic: too many tubes can block material. Too few tubes can miss iron. Correct design balances flow, capture, cleaning, and pressure drop.

Questions buyers ask before ordering

What is the difference between tube and grate?

A tube is one magnetic rod. A grate combines several rods in a frame.

Should I choose 304 or 316 stainless?

Use 304 for common dry material. Use 316 for corrosive or food lines.

Is higher gauss always better?

No. Contact distance, tube spacing, and flow depth matter more.

When do I need easy-clean design?

Use it when cleaning happens every shift or every hour.

Can this remove stainless steel?

Only some weak magnetic stainless can be captured.

Can you make it by my hopper size?

Yes. Send opening size, flange drawing, and material photos.

Can magnetic grates remove aluminum?

No. Aluminum needs eddy current separation, not grate magnets.

Can I use it for wet material?

Usually no. Wet slurry needs another separator structure.

What tube spacing should I choose?

Fine powder uses tighter spacing. Large chunks need wider spacing.

What should I send for a quote?

Material, capacity, opening size, temperature, contamination, and photos.

Send the material first.

Do not choose by gauss alone. Send us what runs on your line.
