Hopper Magnet

Handling bulk powders, granules, or small particles in Tanzanian plants often comes with hidden ferrous contamination that can damage equipment or reduce product quality. Hopper magnets are designed to remove metal particles directly as material flows through hoppers, chutes, or feed bins.

The magnet is placed inside the hopper or at its outlet. As material passes through, iron and steel particles are attracted to the magnetic surface, while clean material continues downstream. This protects crushers, mills, grinders, and other equipment from damage. It works for food grains, chemicals, plastics, minerals, and recycled material.

Installation is simple. The magnet can be fixed inside existing hoppers or mounted at the bottom. Adjusting the height, angle, and clearance ensures maximum metal capture without slowing material flow. Multi-magnet arrangements can be used where heavier contamination is present.

Maintenance is practical. The magnetic surface is easy to access for inspection and cleaning. Permanent magnetic strength remains stable over long periods, reducing downtime and replacement costs. Supporting frames or housings are supplied to ensure secure installation.

Tanzanian industries rely on hopper magnets to protect equipment, maintain product quality, and prevent production interruptions. Each system is calibrated according to the material flow, particle size, and density rather than standard specifications, making it reliable, efficient, and ready for continuous operation in industrial processes.
