Dry Suspension Magnet
Overhead magnetic protection for dry, free-flowing bulk powders and granules
The Dry Suspension Magnet is engineered for dry bulk materials such as flour, grains, plastic pellets, and chemical powders, where fine ferrous contamination must be removed before packaging or further processing. It is typically installed in a gravity drop chute or at a transfer point, where the free-flowing material passes close to a high-intensity magnet housed in a dust-tight enclosure. This design captures fine iron particles and wire fragments that could otherwise damage downstream processing equipment or, in food and plastics applications, end up in the finished product. Because the unit is sealed against dust, it suits environments with strict hygiene or housekeeping requirements. Latif Engineering configures the chute opening size and magnet grade to the specific material and flow rate of each line.
- • Dust-sealed housing for hygienic and clean environments
- • High-intensity field for fine ferrous particle capture
- • Suitable for gravity chutes and transfer points
- • Custom chute opening size per line
- • No electrical power required in permanent-magnet versions
- • Protects downstream processing and packaging equipment
- • Reduces risk of metal contamination in finished product
- • Easy-access design for scheduled clean-out

Applications
Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable for food-grade applications?
Yes, sealed hygienic housings are available for food and flour handling lines.
How is it different from a chute magnetic separator?
They are closely related; this unit is optimised specifically for dry, free-flowing powders and granules rather than general bulk chute material.
Does it need power?
The standard permanent-magnet version does not; an electro version is available where stronger fields are required.
How often should the magnet face be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on contamination load, typically set during commissioning based on trial runs.
