Product Details
Sticky, non-free-flowing material doesn't pass cleanly through a grill or a filter — it needs a design built for flow, not a fixed rod bed. The PML Magnetic Chute fits directly into a duct or discharge line, trapping iron particles from dry, granular or powdered material as it moves through, in either a door-mounted plate configuration or a central "bullet" magnet design.
Two Configurations
- Door Type
Magnets are mounted on hinged doors on the sides of the chute — swing the door open for manual cleaning of arrested iron particles.
- Bullet Type
A conical magnet sits fixed at the centre of the chute, with guided strips directing material onto the bullet's face for maximum contact with the flow.
Chutes are typically placed vertically on discharge ducts, though horizontal installation between material flow lines is possible where the application calls for it (this may require added suction).
Standard Range
| Model | A (mm) | B (mm) | C (mm) |
| CB001 | 120 | 350 | 220 |
| CB002 | 150 | 350 | 250 |
| CB003 | 200 | 478 | 300 |
| CB004 | 250 | 478 | 350 |
Key Advantages
- Built for Sticky Material
Where grills would clog, the chute's open flow path keeps sticky or non-free-flowing material moving.
- Down to 10 Microns
High-intensity rare-earth versions capture ferrous particles as fine as 10 microns.
- Simple Manual Cleaning
Hinged access lets you clear captured iron without dismantling the chute.
- High-Temperature Option
Bullet rod-type chutes with Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) magnets run up to 350°C.
Where It's Used
Plastics, food, spices, chemicals, and dyes and powder pigments — wherever the material flowing through the duct is sticky or otherwise unsuited to a rod-bed grill.
What We Need for a Custom Chute Quote
- Size of the duct and the flange the chute needs to fit
- Type of material and particle size
- Size and concentration of expected contamination
- Flow rate
Frequently Asked Questions
Door type or bullet type — which is right for me?
Door type suits lower-flow lines where side-mounted plates give enough contact; bullet type centres the magnet directly in the flow for higher-throughput or heavier contamination lines.
Can it be installed horizontally?
Yes, though vertical installation on the discharge duct is standard. Horizontal runs may need added suction — tell us your layout and we'll advise.
What's the finest particle it captures?
High-intensity rare-earth versions trap ferrous particles down to 10 microns.
