Extra strong sorting magnets SKM
Extra strong inspection magnet is fitted with the strongest neodymium NdFeB magnet generating very intensive magnet force (1060 N) - and that is why this checking magnet is able to detect ferromagnetic metals at a long distance.
How is the extra strong sorting magnet used?
The control magnet SKM is used to detect ferrous particles e. g. in purchased non-ferrous metal scrap or waste paper (or removing loose tramp iron from a flow of materials). Both the seller and buyer save money by the magnetic inspection and testing:
- seller's material will not be rejected by the buyer (because of unwanted ferrous contamination) and it will not be necessary to move the rejected material back, resort and rebale it
- the buyer will avoid purchasing contaminated materials
Just insert the control magnet into the tested material in several locations and remove it slowly to check for ferrous contaminants.

The super-strong inspection magnet SKM is a hand-held inspection tool for the rapid identification of magnetic metals in incoming material — typically when purchasing non-ferrous metal scrap or waste paper at recycling yards. Unlike the conical magnets MK and KS, the SKM is fitted with a significantly more powerful neodymium magnet with a pull-off force of 1,060 N, enabling it to detect magnetic material at greater depth or through a larger layer of material.
The stronger the magnet, the further its magnetic field lines penetrate into the material being inspected. The SKM therefore captures ferromagnetic contaminants that weaker inspection magnets might miss — for example, metal pieces hidden deep inside a pressed bale or buried in bulk material. This is critical wherever the buyer needs genuine certainty, not just a superficial indication.
The operator places or brings the SKM close to the incoming material — scrap, bales of paper or other raw materials — and observes whether any metal particles or objects are attracted to the magnet. The presence of captured material immediately signals unwanted magnetic contaminants in the sample, giving the buyer grounds to reject or reprice the delivery before processing begins.
The SKM is fitted with a highly powerful NdFeB neodymium magnet with a pull-off force of 1,060 N, housed in a compact, rugged enclosure measuring 84 × 128 × 138 mm. The compact design allows comfortable hand-held use and easy placement against the material being inspected.
The SKM is designed as a powerful field inspection tool for detecting magnetic metals — not as a precision analytical instrument. For more detailed and reliable inspection of bulk materials, granulates or regranulates, we recommend the MTH or MTV test rods; the SKM and the rods complement each other.
The SKM is in stock and available for immediate dispatch — it can be ordered directly from the e-shop. If you are interested in larger quantities or a combination of the SKM with other inspection magnets from our range (MK, KS, MTH, MTV), we are happy to prepare a tailored quote.
Which industrial branches can the handheld inspection magnets be used in?
The extra strong sorting magnet is multipurpose (also thanks to its watertightness) and that is why it can be used for quick detection of ferrous metals in various industrial branches.
