Metal Separator

High-Precision Metal Separation Solutions for Bulk, Powder, Liquid and Granular Materials

Metal Separator is a critical industrial inspection solution designed to detect and remove metal contaminants from free-flowing, slow-falling, powdered, granular, flake, liquid, and plastic materials during production. Installed directly in material flow—such as gravity pipelines, pneumatic conveying systems, or feeding units—metal separators ensure product purity, protect downstream equipment, and help manufacturers maintain consistent product quality.

Our Metal Separator solutions are widely applied in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, plastics, recycling, electronics, and hygienic products industries, offering reliable detection of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants even in challenging conditions with high product conductivity or unstable material flow.


Why Metal Separation Is Essential in Industrial Processing

Metal contamination can occur at any stage of production due to raw material impurities, mechanical wear, broken tools, or upstream processing equipment. If not removed in time, metal fragments may:

  • Damage mixers, extruders, mills, grinders, and pumps

  • Cause costly downtime and equipment repairs

  • Lead to product recalls, rejected batches, or customer complaints

  • Compromise safety and brand reputation

By installing metal separators at critical control points—such as before mixing, extrusion, granulation, molding, or packaging—manufacturers can prevent metal contamination from spreading further into the process and ensure stable, uninterrupted production


Designed for Multiple Industries & Materials

Food Industry

Metal separators are used for grains, flour, sugar, salt, rice, spices, powders, flakes, and other free-flowing or slow-falling food materials. Gravity fall and pipeline metal separators are commonly installed:

  • At raw material intake

  • Before mixing or batching

  • Prior to packaging

These solutions help improve product safety and reduce the risk of metal contamination caused by worn processing components.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Specially designed pharmaceutical metal separators support powder, granule, and tablet processing lines, offering reliable detection of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants while supporting consistent product quality in sensitive production environments.

Chemical Industry

Used for powders, pellets, flakes, and bulk chemical materials, metal separators protect mixers, extruders, and downstream equipment. Options such as pneumatic metal separators and combination systems help integrate seamlessly into automated conveying lines.

Plastics Industry

Metal separators are widely used in plastic granules, regrind, flakes, and pellets to prevent metal from entering injection molding or extrusion equipment. Free-fall and vibration-assisted metal separators ensure stable material flow and high separation efficiency.

Recycling & Renewable Resources Industry

In recycling and material recovery facilities, metal separators remove metal contaminants from plastic flakes, shredded materials, and reprocessed bulk flow, reducing equipment wear and improving output material quality.

Electronics, Hygienic Products & Other Industries

Metal separators are also applied in non-woven materials, electronic component processing, and hygienic product manufacturing, where metal-free material flow is critical for product consistency and equipment protection.


Metal Separator Solutions Available

To meet different material characteristics and installation requirements, this category includes a wide range of metal separator systems:

  • Gravity Fall Metal Separators
    Ideal for grains, powders, and granules transported by gravity through pipelines.

  • Free-Fall Metal Separators
    Designed for fast-flowing plastic pellets, flakes, and bulk materials in vertical conveying systems.

  • Metal Separators for Powder (Y-Type / Slow-Falling Materials)
    Optimized for low-speed, high-consistency powders and materials with poor flowability.

  • Open-Type Metal Separators for Flake Materials
    Suitable for irregular or lightweight materials requiring easy access and inspection.

  • Liquid Metal Separators
    Designed for pumped liquids, slurries, and viscous products in closed pipeline systems.

  • Pneumatic Metal Separators
    Integrated into compressed-air conveying lines for automated material transport.

  • Metal Separators with Automatic Suction & Vibration Feeding
    Ensures consistent feeding and improved detection stability for difficult materials.

  • Iron Remover & Metal Separator Combination Systems
    Combines magnetic separation with metal detection to remove both ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants.

  • Pharmaceutical Metal Separators
    Tailored for pharmaceutical powders and granules with compact, hygienic designs.


Key Advantages of Our Metal Separator Systems

  • High Detection Accuracy
    Reliably detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel contaminants in bulk and free-flowing materials.

  • Protection of Production Equipment
    Prevents metal from entering critical machinery, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

  • Flexible Integration
    Easily installed in gravity pipelines, pneumatic conveying systems, or feeding units without disrupting material flow.

  • Stable Performance with Product Effect
    Designed to handle materials with high conductivity or varying flow behavior while minimizing false alarms.

  • Customizable Designs
    Available in multiple diameters, connection types, and feeding configurations to match different production requirements.


How to Choose the Right Metal Separator

  • By Material Type
    Powders & grains → Gravity fall or Y-type metal separator
    Plastic pellets & flakes → Free-fall metal separator
    Liquids & slurries → Pipeline liquid metal separator
    Slow-flow materials → Special slow-fall metal separator

  • By Conveying Method
    Gravity feeding → Gravity fall or free-fall separator
    Pneumatic conveying → Pneumatic metal separator
    Unstable feeding → Vibration-assisted separator

  • By Process Stage
    Raw material intake → Metal separator or combination system
    Before extrusion or molding → Free-fall or pneumatic separator
