Product/Service

IMI's Drawer-In-Housings consist of a row, or most commonly rows, of round magnetic tubes that are assembled into drawers. Each drawer's magnetic tubes are aligned on alternating centers from the row directly above or below it.

As product flows into the top of the housing, it is forced to cascade in a zig-zag pattern from row to row over the magnetic tubes, this ensures maximum tramp metal capture since the product comes in direct and repeated contact with a magnet as it travels through the housing.

As ferrous metal passes through the magnetic field, it is held to the tubes and separated from the product. The metal must now be cleaned from the tubes on a regular basis to prevent buildup and subsequent wash-off back into the product flow.

The EZ-Clean Drawer-In Housing is designed to simplify the cleaning process for quick removal of collected tramp metal. To initiate cleaning, the operator pulls two handles on the front of the housing, which removes the magnetic drawer from the product flow. As the drawer is pulled out, each magnetic tube passes through a seal which wipes the accumulated metal from the tubes. A catch pan is located under the tubes on the front of the housing to collect the metal for proper disposal.
