Bullet magnets MT
The in-line magnetic separator MT (because of its interior shape sometimes also called “spout magnet”, “pipeline magnet”, “bullet magnet”, “center-flow magnet”, “cartridge magnet” or “air-vey magnet”) is used to separate ferromagnetic particles from materials of poor bulk (pouring) properties (like granulated feeds, plastic granulate, sawdust, powdered materials in the ceramics industry etc.) that could block or clog classic magnetic grate separators.
Design of the center-flow magnet
This separator consist of a stainless steel housing that, after being connected to the existing pipeline (e. g. by standard or JACOB flanges), becomes an integral part of the pipeline system.
At the inlet to the separator body there is a dispersion cone arranging for an even distribution of the material flow. In addition, special guiding strips direct the material flow from the inner wall on the magnetic core (located in the lower part of the central magnetic assembly). Since both the cylindrical magnetic assembly with the nose cone as well as the separator housing are of the round shape, there is ensured an even and continuous material flow.
Besides, the round shape of the separator in combination with the dispersion cone and strong ferrite or neodymium magnets make it possible to apply this equipment not only in purely vertical, but also in inclined pipelines.
Which way is the bullet magnet cleaned?
Cleaning the pipe separator is very easy:
- Release the hook clamps.
- Open the door with the integrated magnetic cone.
- Manually remove ferromagnetic contaminants trapped on the magnetic core.
Do not use metal tools to remove trapped contaminants - it could result in an injury!

We recommend the MT for vertical or inclined pipeline systems where the material has poor flow properties — such as granulated feed, plastic pellets, sawdust, or powder materials — which could cause blockages in grid separators. The MT differs from the chute magnet ML in its circular body cross-section, which allows installation in inclined pipework, and its higher maximum capacity (up to 360 m³/h).
The MT captures ferromagnetic particles from 1.5 mm up to approximately 50 mm. We manufacture the MT in standard connection diameters from 100 to 500 mm with a capacity of up to 360 m³/h; larger diameters are available on request. Both ferrite and neodymium variants are available — we will recommend the right choice after testing your material.
The MT is designed for granulated and powder materials with poor flow properties — typically granulated feed, plastic pellets, sawdust, or powder materials in the ceramic industry. It is used in agri-business, food processing, pharmaceuticals, wood processing, chemical, ceramic, and plastics industries.
A deflection cone at the inlet of the separator body evenly distributes the material flow, while special guide ribs on the inner surface of the outer casing direct the material straight onto the magnetic core at the centre of the body. The circular cross-section combined with these elements ensures smooth flow without pressure zones or blockages — even in inclined pipework.
Ferrite magnets are suitable for separating standard-size metal contaminants and are the more economical option. Neodymium magnets achieve higher magnetic induction and capture finer ferromagnetic particles — the choice depends on the required separation efficiency, the size of the contaminants to be captured, and operating conditions; we will recommend the right variant after testing your material.
Cleaning is carried out manually in three steps: release the hook clamps → open the door with the integrated magnetic cone → manually remove the captured ferromagnetic particles from the magnetic core. Metal tools must not be used to remove contaminants — there is a risk of injury.
Yes, we manufacture separators to custom specifications — diameters above 500 mm, non-standard connections, and other configurations are available on request. Every project starts with a site visit, measurement, and solution design; installation, commissioning, operator training, and authorised service are included in the delivery. We carry out material tests free of charge, with results within 3 working days.
Which industrial branches can the bullet magnet be used in?
The bullet magnet separator finds application e. g. in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, wood-processing, plastics, chemical and ceramic industry.
