Chute magnets ML-P for vacuum and pressure pipes
Inline pneumatic plate magnet ML-P is designed to separate ferromagnetic particles especially from quickly streaming (up to 25 m/s) liquids (but also powders) of worse pouring properties. Compared with e. g. grid separators, the ML-P is suitable also for liquids containing bigger pieces of materials, fibers or abrasive particles.
Design of the inline plate magnet
The separator housing (made from stainless steel) is to be connected to a pipeline (by means of standard flanges) in order to become its integral part.
At the separator inlet there is a solid steel baffle that directs the material flow over the magnetic plates (placed at the inner parts of the separator doors) and ensures a high effectiveness of the separation process (nevertheless, the material divider is dismountable - therefore, in the case of cleaning very problematic materials, it can be easily taken out of the separator).
Ferromagnetic impurities are captured from the material flow at magnetic doors located on the separator sides. The door is equipped with very strong neodymium magnets with a magnetic induction of 7,500 G!
This separator is unique in that it can capture even very small contaminants (from 0.5 mm) even at high speeds (up to 25 m/s)!
The magnetic door is attached to the separator body on guiding rods. So sliding out it sideways and subsequent cleaning is quick, comfortable, and safe.
Which way is chute magnet cleaned?
Cleaning the plate separator is very easy:
- Loosen the screws securing the door with magnets
- Slide out the door with magnets placed on the guide rods to the outermost position
- Release the pins securing the door and turn them to the horizontal position. Secure the pins in this position again.
- Manually remove ferromagnetic contaminants trapped on the magnetic core.
Do not use metal tools to remove trapped contaminants - it could result in an injury!

What pipeline is the separator connected to?
In the standard way the deep field housed magnet ML-P is produced in connecting diameters from 100 to 250 mm with pressure resistance up to 10 bar. Nevertheless, the pressure resistance, connecting dimensions and also the way of connection onto the piping system (flanges, screwed fittings etc.) can be modified according to the customer’s needs.

The ML-P is designed for pipeline systems with fast-flowing material (up to 25 m/s), particularly when the medium contains larger solid pieces, fibres or abrasive particles — in such cases a grid separator would quickly become clogged. The inline separator MSP-MC is suitable for cleaner materials without coarse contaminants at lower flow speeds, while the ML-P handles extremely problematic materials and offers higher capacity (up to 150 m³/h). If you are unsure which separator suits your application, we will help you choose based on your material parameters.
The magnetic plates of the ML-P are fitted with neodymium magnets with a magnetic induction of 7,500 G. The separator captures ferromagnetic contaminants ranging from 0.5 mm to 50 mm — it can therefore capture both fine metal shavings and larger objects such as wires several centimetres long. This makes the ML-P an ideal solution for the paper industry, where larger metallic contaminants commonly occur in the material.
The ML-P separator handles material flow speeds of up to 25 m/s and a capacity of up to 150 m³/h. We manufacture the ML-P as standard with pressure resistance up to 10 bar — we can adapt the pressure rating, connection dimensions and connection method to your specific requirements.
The standard model range covers inlet diameters from 100 to 350 mm (models ML-P 100N to ML-P 350N). The separator is connected as standard using flanges; on request we can adapt the connection to threaded fittings or special connectors — for both vertical and horizontal installation.
Cleaning is carried out by sliding the magnetic doors along the guide rods to the end position, rotating them to the horizontal position and manually removing the captured contaminants. The key safety rule: do not use metal tools to remove contaminants — this could cause injury. The guide rod and hinged door system is designed to make cleaning quick, comfortable and safe without the need for special tools.
The ML-P is used primarily in the paper and pulp industry — it captures long fibres and wires from pulp without difficulty (in one application up to 20 kg of wire per week was captured). It is also used in engineering, plastics, chemicals, ceramics and glass, and in thermal power plants. The ML-P is not suitable for the food industry — due to the relatively large gap between the magnetic doors, it does not achieve the extreme separation efficiency that food processing requires.
We carry out free tests of your material on our magnetic separators and guarantee results within three days. We will visit your facility, survey your process and propose a specific solution — after installation we will ensure commissioning, operator training and authorised service throughout the lifetime of the separator.
Which industrial branches can the chute magnet be used in?
The pipeline magnet ML-P can be characterized by a robust stainless steel design, a big separation efficiency (thanks to the neodymium magnets), a high-capacity (no undesirable obstacles prevent the material flow in the inside of the separator body) and by an easy maintenance. The separator finds its use especially in the pulp and paper industry, because it can even deal with bridging and choking materials (like the longer fibers that are usually present in materials processed in the paper industry). On the contrary, with regard to a relatively big distance between the magnetic doors, the separator is not suitable for cleaning the materials requiring an extreme purity, e.g. in the food industry.
