Goudsmit Magnetics magnet filter for chocolate

The range of magnetic filters that Goudsmit Magnetics from Waalre has been manufacturing has recently been expanded with a modular, double-wall chocolate filter.

The hygienic magnet filter is composed of neodymium magnets that can remove pieces of iron as small as 30 μm, weakly magnetic particles and even iron dust from sticky substances such as chocolate.

The housing is made from one piece of type-316 stainless steel. The new design prevents heated liquid such as water from entering the product channel. The water flows through the outer wall of the filter and keeps the chocolate liquid. With its fully modular design, a standard filter vessel of choice can be an ISO or a DIN pipe.

This makes the filter simple to integrate into existing installations and also suitable for many couplings. The system meets the stringent requirements within the food industry such as HACCP and EHEDG.

The modular design allows adaptation to different options. A powerful magnetic core can increase the magnetic value to 11,000 G. Cleaning can take place semi-automatically with the help of a tool.

The optional ‘Lock out, Tag out’ or ‘LoTo’ safety system is designed to ensure that the magnet will only return to production if the magnet is properly replaced 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. Even small iron particles can be filtered out of sticky substances.
