How the ML-P 350 N magnetic separator reliably removes wires from pulp in a paper mill (case study)
In the paper industry, one simple rule applies: once metal gets into the pulp, trouble starts. Wires and metallic contaminants can enter the material during raw-material handling, and in the next step they can seriously damage the technology – pumps, screens, and other sensitive parts of the line.
In one pulp operation processing pulp disintegrated with water, it was therefore necessary to ensure reliable separation of metal wires directly from the material flow.
Solution: ML-P 350 N plate magnetic separator
A ML-P 350 N plate magnetic separator was installed into the piping system, designed specifically for wet applications and materials in suspension. The separator is positioned so that pulp with water flows directly past the magnetic plate, which captures ferromagnetic contaminants – especially wires – before they can cause damage.
ML-P 350 N operates:
- continuously without interrupting production,
- without negatively affecting flow rate,
- and with high efficiency even with very fine metal particles.
Result in operation
After installing the separator, the customer recorded:
- a significant reduction in the occurrence of metal wires in the pulp,
- protection of downstream technology,
- fewer failures and shutdowns,
- more stable and smoother production.
Metal separation became an automatic and reliable part of the process, without the need for complex operator interventions.
Conclusion
The ML-P 350 N magnetic separator proved in this application to be an effective and simple solution for separating metal wires from pulp.
Where metal has no place, it ensures clean material, protected technology, and smooth operation.
