Magnetic separation vessel
The magnetic separation container is used to separate metals from liquid materials such as oils, emulsions, coolants, and others. The covered structure is made of stainless steel, which makes the magnetic separator durable and suitable even for demanding operations. The liquid flows through the container under a magnetic roller equipped with ferrite or very strong neodymium magnets, which reliably capture and retain metal impurities. It can be used to protect production technology or for separation to ensure product purity. On request, the separation container can also be custom-made according to the customer's wishes and needs.

Listing controls
- Effective ferrous contamination removal even in liquids and slurries — ideal for emulsions, chemical slurries, mineral slurries, lubricants, wastewater streams, and other liquid-based materials.
- Protection of sensitive downstream equipment — filters, pumps, mixers, extruders, conveyors and other machinery are safeguarded from metal fragments that could cause wear, blockages, or damage.
- Continuous or batch operation flexibility — systems can be designed for ongoing flow, periodic cleaning, or batch processing depending on production needs.
- Sealed, dust- and leak-free processing — containment within a vessel ensures hygienic, safe handling, especially important in industries such as food, chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
- Durable construction for industrial environments — built with materials resistant to abrasion, corrosion and mechanical stress, able to withstand demanding process conditions.
1Start from the liquid, not from the machine
A separation vessel is the only design in our separator range built for liquid media: oils, emulsions, coolants and similar materials, plus chemical and mineral slurries, lubricants and wastewater streams.
Name the liquid, its temperature and its viscosity first. Everything else, from the magnet type to the vessel size, follows from those three values rather than from the machine you are protecting.
2Know how the vessel actually works
The liquid flows through the container under a magnetic roller fitted with ferrite or very strong neodymium magnets, which capture and retain the metal contamination. The structure is covered and made of stainless steel, which is what makes it suitable for demanding operations.
Because the process is contained, handling stays sealed, dust free and leak free, which matters in food, chemical and pharmaceutical production.
3Choose ferrite or neodymium by the particle size
Ferrite reaches deeper into the flowing liquid and handles larger fragments well. Very strong neodymium magnets pull harder on fine particles, which is what you need for grinding swarf, abraded iron and fine contamination carried in a coolant.
Machining and grinding operations almost always end up on the neodymium side, because the contamination there is fine by definition.
4Match the throughput in litres per minute
Vessel capacity is specified by flow rate, and the stocked stainless steel version handles 200 l/min. That figure has to cover the real peak flow of your circuit, not the average.
An undersized vessel does not stop working, it simply lets the liquid pass too quickly for the particles to be captured, and the result looks like a weak magnet rather than a sizing mistake.
5Decide between continuous and batch operation
Systems can be designed for ongoing flow, periodic cleaning or batch processing, depending on how the production runs. Continuous circuits, such as a coolant loop on a machining centre, are the usual case, while batch operation suits mixing and transfer between vessels.
Work out who cleans the roller and how often, and build that into the choice before the vessel is installed somewhere unreachable.
6Treat a custom build as the normal route
On request, the separation vessel is custom made according to the customer's requirements. Liquid circuits differ far more than dry lines do, so a configured vessel is usually a better fit than adapting the circuit to a catalogue unit.
The point of the vessel is to protect filters, pumps, mixers, extruders and conveyors from metal fragments that cause wear, blockages and damage, so the payback is calculated against those repairs.
Tip: For a quotation we need the liquid and its temperature, the flow rate in litres per minute, the type and size of the contamination, and whether the circuit runs continuously or in batches. With those four values you get a specific design proposal instead of a price range.

Frequently asked questions about magnetic separation vessels
It is designed to separate metal contamination from liquid materials such as oils, emulsions and coolants, and it also handles chemical and mineral slurries, lubricants and wastewater streams. When enquiring, state the liquid, its temperature and its viscosity, because those three values decide the design far more than the machine you are protecting does.
The liquid flows through the container under a magnetic roller equipped with ferrite or very strong neodymium magnets, which capture and retain the metal impurities. The covered structure is made of stainless steel, which makes the separator durable and suitable even for demanding operations, and keeps the process sealed, dust free and leak free.
The stocked stainless steel version is specified for 200 l/min. The rating has to cover the peak flow of your circuit rather than the average: if the liquid passes too quickly, the particles do not spend enough time in the magnetic field to be captured, and an undersized vessel then looks like a weak one.
Both are available. Ferrite reaches deeper into the flowing liquid and copes well with larger fragments, while very strong neodymium magnets pull harder on fine particles. Grinding and machining circuits usually call for neodymium, because swarf and abraded iron carried in a coolant are fine by their nature.
Systems can be designed for ongoing flow, for periodic cleaning or for batch processing, depending on production needs. A coolant loop on a machining centre is the typical continuous case, while transfers between vessels suit batch operation. Decide who cleans the roller and how often before the vessel is installed somewhere hard to reach.
Yes. On request the separation container is custom made according to the customer's requirements, which is the usual route here because liquid circuits differ far more than dry lines. Send us the liquid and its temperature, the flow rate in litres per minute, the type and size of the contamination and whether the circuit runs continuously or in batches.
Iron in a coolant or an emulsion is invisible until a pump seizes or a filter blocks, and no grid or plate will help you there. The separation vessel is our answer for liquid media: oils, emulsions, coolants, slurries, lubricants and wastewater. The liquid passes through a covered stainless steel container under a magnetic roller with ferrite or very strong neodymium magnets, which capture and hold the metal, while the process stays sealed, dust free and leak free, as food, chemical and pharmaceutical production requires. The stocked version is rated for 200 l/min, and vessels are custom made to the customer's requirements, which on liquid circuits is usually the better route. Send us the liquid, the flow rate and the contamination and we will design it.
