Hump Magnet for Chutes
A Hump Magnet is a permanent magnetic separator installed in pneumatic conveying lines or gravity pipelines to remove tramp iron and fine ferrous contaminants from dry, free-flowing materials. Unlike a standard magnetic plate, the Hump Magnet features a specially designed offset housing (hump design) that diverts the material flow directly across the magnetic field, significantly increasing magnetic exposure and improving separation efficiency.
Hump Magnets are ideal for industries requiring continuous contamination control, equipment protection, and high product purity.
Magbro Tech Industries manufactures premium-quality Hump Magnets using high-performance Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets or Ferrite Magnets, enclosed in heavy-duty stainless steel or mild steel housings. The unique housing design ensures maximum contact between the material and the magnetic surface, allowing even fine ferrous particles to be effectively captured.
Available in single hump and double hump configurations, our Hump Magnets are engineered for easy installation, quick cleaning, and long-term industrial performance.
Working Principle
The Hump Magnet is installed in the conveying pipeline where the product flow is redirected by the specially designed housing.
- Material enters the hump housing.
- The flow is diverted across the high-intensity magnetic plate.
- Ferrous contaminants are attracted and held firmly on the magnetic surface.
- Clean material continues through the outlet without interruption.
- During maintenance, the magnetic plate is removed and cleaned before being reinstalled.
This design ensures maximum magnetic exposure and efficient separation with minimal pressure loss.
