Hygienic Magnattack® Magnetic Separators for Pharmaceutical Applications

Magnattack Global , Magnattack Global

Magnattack magnetic separators are designed to target specific challenges experienced by manufacturers

With over 50 years of experience in pharmaceutical and food industry magnetics, Magnattack® manufactures sanitary, high-quality RE80® Magnetic Separation Systems designed to reduce metal contamination risks and improve product purity and safety.

Magnattack magnetic separators are designed to target specific challenges experienced by manufacturers, as well as to improve existing problematic magnet designs. Magnattack separators are built for even the most sensitive products and applications.

In an era where various types of magnets are readily available from around the globe, it is essential that magnets used in sensitive product lines are not only effective at separating foreign metal contaminants but also designed hygienically to ensure product safety.

If you’re in the pharmaceutical industry, you understand the critical importance of sanitary processing equipment, including magnetic separators. Since 2015, specially designed, hygienic Magnattack RE80 Magnets for powder and dry product lines have held a USDA Certification. Magnattack separators can be installed at product intakes to ensure traceability of suppliers’ingredients, and to target foreign metal contaminants caused by machinery wear, including work-hardened stainless steel fragments.

The USDA-Accepted Magnattack Mag-Ram® Automatic Self-Cleaning Magnet is a unique, hygienicseparatorideal for final protection in sensitive powder applications, such as on spray driers or bulk powder packing. It allows for continuous automatic cleaning of magnet bars without stopping the process. The incremental rotation of the magnetic bars during cleaning minimizes material build up, blockage, and product waste. To meet industryhygiene standards, the USDA-Accepted Mag-Ram has internal welds removed, and no cracks, crevices, or exposed threads, reducing risk of contamination.This standard is upheld for all our sanitary equipment suppliedto pharmaceutical & dairy applications or products.

The MagnattackRapidclean®Drawer Magnet (in housing) isalso ideal for final protection in sensitive powder applications, such as on spray driers or bulk powder packing. This powerful drawer magnet is designed for safe and effective manual cleaning, allowing for collection and analysis of findings.The cleaning process occurs outside of the product stream, significantly reducing recontamination risks, and enabling visual inspection of bars.

Without stainless steel magnet sleeves, this design is exceptionally hygienic and minimizes recontamination risks during cleaning. Operators can also check the magnet bars for any metal fragments, cracks, swelling or any other damage that could affect the quality and security of the final product. These magnets are fully customizable, ensuring excellent coverage for your powder application.

The Magnattack Powder Transfer Magnet is a highly sanitary pneumatic conveying magnet featuring Acutex® Probe Magnets.It is primarily used for final product protection before storage or packing areas. The Powder Transfer Magnet efficiently separates metal fragment contamination without causing bulk density issues or blockages. With high-intensity strength, it effectively removes weakly magnetic contaminants and work-hardened stainless steel fragments, significantly increasing product purity.

A dairy-grade Magnattack Pressure Pipeline Separatoris available for protecting sensitive liquid product applications and can beinstalled on CIP systems to prevent contamination from spreading throughout the process line.This magnetic separator features powerful RE80® Probe Magnets and can be customized for your specific liquid application.

In an era where various types of magnets are readily available from around the globe, it is essential that magnets used in sensitive product lines are not only effective at separating foreign metal contaminants but also designed hygienically to ensure product safety.

In addition to the magnetic separators mentioned above, Magnattack can custom fabricate magnets to fit specific ingredients and existing equipment. Our experienced technicians can help you find the right design for your application. For further assistance, you can contact our partners atPowder Process-Solutions, who specialize in sanitary equipment for dairy and pharmaceutical processes.

To ensure product quality and help manufacturers maintain effective foreign metal fragment controls, Magnattack has partnered with Active Magnetics Research to conduct magnet validations. This partnership ensures that magnets comply withindustry standards and are suitable for their intended use.

This enables our clients to assess if their magnets are adequate instrength, product stream coverage, condition, type, location, and retention. With the expertise of ourtechnicians,the validation service helps our customers produce and deliver a safer product to their clients.
