Goudsmit Magnetics EHEDG magnetic filter with CIP cleaning

The EHEDG magnetic filter introduced by Goudsmit Magnetics is designed for the food industry. This hygienic filter is suitable for CIP systems as the magnet can be magnetically operated, without the need to open the filter housing for cleaning.

The filter is constructed of neodymium magnets that provide effective separation of ferrous particles as small as 15 µm, weakly magnetic particles and even iron dust from sticky substances such as chocolate, pastes, powders and fruit juices. The magnet has a maximum flux density of 11,300 gauss at the bar and removes the specified particles from both liquid and powdered products. The entire system is made of grade 316 stainless steel, is smoothly finished (Ra ≤0.4 µm) and is EHEDG certified.

Cleaning of the magnet occurs automatically. When production is stopped the magnet can be ‘blown’ out of the product flow so the flushing cycle can carry away the captured ferritic particles. After the flushing cycle the magnet part is ready for the complete CIP cycle. The housing is constructed so that no product remains behind after cleaning.

The magnetic filter is used in tubes and/or pipelines in the food industry, where it performs deferrisation of products conveyed under pressure. The hygienic magnetic filter is available in five standard dimensions ( Ø 50–125 mm), has a standard pipe connection and can also be delivered with a manual cleaning option which is not EHEDG certified.
