Housed Bullet Magnetic Separator – MSB-0100

Housed Bullet Magnetic Separator for Seed, Grain, Food & Bulk Material Processing

The MMCTECH Housed Bullet Magnetic Separator – MSB-0100 is a high-intensity inline magnetic separation system manufactured for removing tramp iron and ferrous metal contamination from seed, grain, food, plastics, powder, granule, and bulk material processing lines. Its centrally positioned bullet-shaped magnetic element creates a strong magnetic field across the product stream while supporting continuous material flow through the stainless steel housing.

Built with an N45-grade Neodymium Iron Boron magnetic element and a nominal magnetic performance of 9,000 Gauss, the MSB-0100 captures ferrous contamination before it can damage processing machinery, contaminate finished products, or enter downstream packaging and storage systems. The magnetic element is enclosed within an AISI 304 stainless steel housing with a bead-blasted surface finish for durable industrial and hygienic applications.

The unit can be installed in gravity-fed process lines at raw-material intake points, beneath storage hoppers, before grinders and dehullers, ahead of mixers or screw conveyors, before color sorting, or near final product discharge. Its compact inline design makes it suitable for new processing plants as well as existing production lines requiring an additional metal-removal control point.

High-Intensity 9,000 Gauss Magnetic Performance

The MSB-0100 uses a rare-earth Neodymium magnetic element to generate a deep and concentrated magnetic field. As material moves through the housing, the bullet-shaped element diverts the product around its magnetic surface. Ferrous particles are attracted and held against the magnetic collection area while clean product continues toward the outlet.

The high magnetic intensity supports the removal of contaminants such as:

• Iron fragments
• Carbon steel particles
• Metal shavings
• Broken fastener pieces
• Wire fragments
• Ferrous wear particles
• Scale from upstream equipment
• Tramp metal entering with raw material

Actual separation performance depends on contaminant size, shape, magnetic properties, product flow depth, material speed, temperature, installation angle, cleaning frequency, and distance from the magnetic surface. The MSB-0100 is engineered to place the product close to the central magnetic element while minimizing unnecessary restriction of material flow.

N45 Neodymium Magnet with Verified Magnetic Quality

The magnetic assembly uses N45-grade Neodymium Iron Boron magnets. N45 is a high-energy rare-earth magnet grade suitable for compact industrial separation equipment requiring strong magnetic performance. The magnet class is controlled through hysterograph testing to verify the magnetic properties of the material used in the separator.

This provides a consistent basis for magnetic performance and helps ensure that the installed unit meets the specified separation duty. The standard operating temperature range is approximately -4°F to 194°F (-20°C to 90°C). Applications outside this temperature range require a magnetic element and sealing configuration specifically selected for the process conditions.

Protects Processing Machinery from Tramp Iron

Ferrous metal contamination can damage high-value processing equipment. A small piece of tramp iron entering a mill, dehuller, granulator, mixer, screw conveyor, or packaging machine can cause blade damage, screen failure, product contamination, mechanical wear, or production downtime.

The MSB-0100 can be installed upstream of sensitive machinery to capture ferrous contamination before it reaches:

• Seed dehulling machines
• Grain milling equipment
• Hammer mills
• Granulators
• Mixers and blenders
• Screw conveyors
• Color sorters
• Seed coating equipment
• Bagging and weighing machines
• Plastic extruders and molding equipment

Magnetic separation does not replace proper machine inspection or maintenance, but it provides an additional layer of process protection that can reduce avoidable equipment damage and unplanned downtime.

Magnetic Separator for Seed and Grain Processing Plants

The MSB-0100 is suitable for processing lines handling wheat, corn, rice, soybean, sunflower, lentils, chickpeas, beans, pulses, oilseeds, spices, grass seed, garden seed, and other free-flowing agricultural products.

In a seed processing plant, the housed bullet magnetic separator can be positioned:

• At the raw-material receiving point
• Before seed pre-cleaning
• After mechanical screening
• Before dehulling or milling
• Before gravity separation
• Before a color sorter
• Beneath a storage hopper
• Before bagging and packaging
• At the final product discharge

Installing the separator before sensitive equipment helps protect machinery. Installing it near the final product stage can provide an additional quality-control point before the material enters bags, totes, storage silos, or shipping containers.

Central Bullet Design for Continuous Product Flow

The bullet-shaped magnetic element is mounted in the center of the stainless steel housing. Incoming product is divided around the magnetic element and exposed to the magnetic field before recombining at the outlet.

This arrangement provides several advantages:

• Broad exposure of the product stream to the magnetic field
• Compact inline installation
• Continuous gravity-fed operation
• Reduced risk of an uncontrolled dead zone in the housing
• Easy connection between upstream and downstream equipment
• Simple access for inspection and cleaning

Final throughput depends on housing diameter, product bulk density, flowability, moisture, particle size, installation angle, and upstream feeding conditions. The separator should be sized so the magnetic element does not create an excessive restriction or product accumulation point.

AISI 304 Stainless Steel Housing

The MSB-0100 housing is manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. This material provides corrosion resistance, durable product-contact surfaces, and easier cleaning for seed, grain, food, powder, and bulk material processing environments.

The housing receives a bead-blasted surface finish, creating a uniform industrial appearance while supporting practical cleaning and maintenance. Final product-contact suitability depends on the processed material, sanitation method, operating environment, and the buyer’s hygiene requirements.

For applications involving aggressive chemicals, high chloride exposure, or specialized food-contact conditions, alternative stainless steel grades or surface treatments may be evaluated during project engineering.

FDA-Compliant White Foam Sealing

The standard sealing arrangement uses a self-adhesive white foam gasket specified for FDA-compliant applications. The gasket helps limit product leakage and provides a sealed connection around the removable access section of the housing.

Seal compatibility should be reviewed according to product temperature, sanitation chemicals, moisture, food-contact requirements, operating pressure, and cleaning frequency. Replacement seals should match the original material and dimensions to preserve the intended sealing performance.

Quick-Access Toggle Clamp Design

Zinc-plated mild steel toggle clamps provide fast access to the magnetic bullet element. Operators can open the housing for inspection and cleaning without dismantling a large section of the processing line.

The quick-access arrangement helps:

• Reduce cleaning time
• Simplify routine inspection
• Limit production interruptions
• Provide visual access to captured contamination
• Support scheduled quality-control checks

Before opening the separator, product flow must be stopped and the line must be safely isolated. Strong magnetic elements can attract tools and loose ferrous objects with significant force, so operators should follow appropriate safety procedures during cleaning.

Applications in Food Processing

The MSB-0100 can be used in gravity-fed lines handling suitable food ingredients, powders, granulates, and dry bulk materials. Typical applications include:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Salt
• Spices
• Grain products
• Pulses
• Dry food ingredients
• Animal feed materials
• Powdered food products

For food processing applications, the separator must be incorporated into the facility’s complete food-safety, sanitation, inspection, and validation program. The magnetic separator supports contamination control but should not be represented as the only control measure in a complete food-safety system.

Applications in Plastics and Industrial Bulk Handling

The housed bullet magnetic separator can also remove ferrous contaminants from suitable plastic granules, dry chemicals, industrial powders, and bulk materials. Installing the separator before extruders, molding machines, mixers, and conveying equipment can help protect downstream machinery and improve final product quality.

Material suitability must be confirmed before ordering. Sticky, wet, abrasive, corrosive, compacting, or poorly flowing products may require a modified housing, different surface finish, enlarged flow area, vibration assistance, or another separator design.

Integration with MMCTECH Processing Equipment

The MSB-0100 can be integrated with MMCTECH processing systems including:

• Seed pre-cleaners
• Fine screen seed cleaners
• Seed graders
• Gravity separators
• Destoners
• Indented cylinder separators
• Seed polishers
• De-awners
• Dehulling and milling machines
• Color sorters
• Conveyors and bucket elevators
• Storage silos and hoppers
• Bagging and weighing systems

The separator can be supplied as standalone equipment or incorporated into a complete seed processing, grain handling, food production, or bulk material project.

Passive Magnetic Operation with No Electrical Power

The MSB-0100 uses permanent rare-earth magnets and does not require an electrical supply during normal operation. There is no electric magnetic coil, drive motor, or rotating separation mechanism.

This provides:

• No electrical power consumption
• No motor maintenance
• Continuous magnetic availability
• Simple gravity-line integration
• Low mechanical complexity
• Compact installation requirements

Electrical power may be required only when the complete project includes sensors, automated valves, alarms, or other powered equipment around the separator.

How to Select the Best Housed Bullet Magnetic Separator

The correct magnetic separator should be selected according to the complete process. Important factors include:

• Processed product
• Required throughput
• Bulk density and flowability
• Maximum particle size
• Expected ferrous contamination
• Operating temperature
• Chute and pipe dimensions
• Available installation height
• Cleaning frequency
• Sanitation requirements
• Upstream and downstream equipment
• Required magnetic validation procedures

A separator that is too small can restrict product flow. A magnetic element positioned too far from the product may provide inadequate capture performance. MMCTECH therefore evaluates both the magnetic requirement and the material flow conditions before confirming the final configuration.

Inspection, Cleaning and Magnetic Validation

Captured ferrous material should be removed at scheduled intervals. Cleaning frequency depends on contamination load, production hours, product flow, and the location of the separator in the line.

Recommended routine checks include:

• Inspecting the magnetic element for captured metal
• Cleaning the collection surface
• Checking the stainless steel housing for buildup
• Inspecting the foam gasket
• Checking toggle clamps and fasteners
• Verifying that the bullet element is correctly seated
• Recording contamination when required
• Periodically validating magnetic performance

Magnetic validation may include pull testing, field-strength measurement, or another documented procedure selected by the facility’s quality program.
