Magnetic Chutes Used in the Many Industries, Including the Spice Trade
Previously on our blog, we’ve discussed how magnetic chutes are used in animal feeding; however, they’re utilized in many other scenarios as well. For instance, magnetic chutes are also used to trap and separate iron particles mixed with powders, granular materials, or otherwise dry materials. Typically, the material is flowing freely through the chute; that means no sticky substances! Connected to a larger series of ducts, the chutes use magnets to attract iron contamination as it flows. The largest magnet is almost always placed in a hinged door that can be accessed from the outside, allowing for manual cleaning and particle removal.
