SEMI AUTOMATIC EASY CLEAN MAGNETIC GRID BOX

The Semi-Automatic Easy Clean Magnetic Grid Box from Greenwood Magnetics is an inline magnetic separator for use in vertical chutes for the efficient extraction of ferrous particles in powder or granular materials being processed

This equipment is manufactured with rare-earth magnetic material, tested and certified to 12000 gauss on the contact surface. It has powerful magnetic forces and is commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

This Grid Box has a double row of magnetic rods which are offset for maximum effectiveness. However, this product can also be specified with a single row of magnetic rods to suit the customer’s requirements.

This Magnetic Grid Box has a semi-automatic feature which makes the cleaning process of removing ferrous contamination from the magnetic rods both faster and easier due to the “scraper plate” design technology.

Once the safety nuts or stainless star knobs have been removed and the quick release clamps opened, the encased springs will automatically push the scraper plate forward to a set distance. From that point, the drawer can be pulled to the maximum distance, without fully removing it from the main housing. As the magnetic rods slide forward, the scraper plate traps the ferrous material which automatically falls into the catch chamber below. The catch chamber which has collected the metal contamination can then be easily removed, and the metal retained for analysis.

This process means that the drawer does not have to be completely removed from the main housing, ensuring a safer and more efficient method of cleaning. This removes the risk of accidents and reduces cleaning operative downtime.

The 3D animation below demonstrates the cleaning process.

Greenwood Magnetics is a family run business in its third generation based in Rochdale, North East of Manchester, UK.

We have specialised in magnetic separation solutions since 1948, working closely with a wide range of industries, moving in more recent years to focus more on intricate and complex magnet designs for the food, pharmaceutical, oil and gas sectors.

Pictured above is the HS Greenwood’s factory, which was used 1948- 2005 and the original brochure from the 1950’s.

Starting from humble beginnings, the company has seen a flurry of expansion, with a growing sales team, a well established CAD department and a high calibre fabrication team directed by two production team leaders. We are now one of the UK’s leading magnetic separator manufacturers, working closely with some of the world’s largest companies.

Our location in Rochdale houses our sales team, accounts, CAD department and fabrication facilities. This allows for an efficient and seamless manufacturing process for every one of our products. This creates a suitable and productive work environment that allows us create a range of bespoke and innovative products, each tailored to the requirements of the client, down to the smallest detail.

Following our 70^th anniversary in 2018, the company is looking ahead to further expansion into the global market. By constantly developing new marketing and sales strategies, as well as expansion to our team, Greenwood Magnetics hopes to be able to bring its long running expertise and excellent service across the globe, as well as continuing to provide effective separation solutions for our clients here in the UK.
