Getting to Know your Magnets - The Design of Product Purity

(Image Source: Mark Weiss, thisoldhouse.com)

A recent special report from ceramicindustry.com discusses the importance of purity in a ceramics manufacturing process. It is likely that some contaminates, ferrous metals and others, may sometimes end up in a process where they have the potential to jeopardize the homogeny of a substance or damage machinery. As a result, the use of high-power magnetic separators must be employed to ensure the purity of your process. The article discusses the different types of magnets and metal detectors that can be employed and is a good read for anyone in the ceramics manufacturing industry. Here's an excerpt:

"Magnetic separators are classified as type A, B or C, in accordance with the type of magnetic circuit used. Processing lines are generally designated into the main areas (applications): primary, secondary and finishing. The size of the tramp metal to be removed determines whether a type A, B or C circuit is used. Type A is recommended for small fragments, while types B and C are recommended for larger tramp metals."

The article goes on to discuss the relationship between sensitivity and stability during the metal removal process, and explains precisely how these machines work. If you're in the ceramics manufacturing industry and you're not sure what the difference between these types of magnetic separators are, or are not sure how they work, the article is definitely a good read. In order to keep our products and processes free of unwanted contaminates, the use of metal detection and elimination is instrumental.
