Product Details
Our Easy Clean grills cut cleaning down to a manual slide-and-drop action. The PML Self Cleaning Magnetic Grill goes a step further and automates it entirely: pneumatic cylinders, an FRL unit and a timer with an operating button drive the whole cleaning cycle at the push of a button — or on an automatic schedule — with no drawer to pull out by hand.
How the Cleaning Cycle Works
The grill is built on the same stainless-steel, high-intensity rare-earth (NdFeB) magnetic rod platform as our standard grills, rated to 11,000 Gauss for particles as fine as 1 micron. What's different is how it's cleaned:
- Start
Actuate the solenoid — manually or electrically — and the pneumatic cylinders retract, pulling the magnetic tubes back through a stripper assembly that deposits the collected tramp iron outside the product flow area.
- Finish
The cylinders return to the run position, pushing the magnetic tubes back into the housing, ready to resume separation.
The whole cycle runs on a timer with a manual operating button, so cleaning can be triggered on demand or scheduled automatically — no line stoppage, no drawer to remove.

Key Advantages
- Fully Automated Cleaning
Pneumatic cylinders and a timer handle the cleaning cycle — no drawer to remove, no manual scraping.
- Push-Button or Scheduled
Trigger cleaning on demand, or let the timer run it automatically at set intervals.
- High-Intensity Capture
11,000 Gauss NdFeB elements catch particles down to 1 micron.
- Minimal Downtime
The cleaning cycle runs in place, without needing to stop and disassemble the unit.
Where It's Used
Dry, granular or free-flowing materials in food, pharmaceutical, chemical and similar processing lines where contamination is frequent enough that manual drawer cleaning becomes a bottleneck.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Easy Clean grill?
Easy Clean grills use a manual slide-out drawer; this Self Cleaning grill automates the entire cycle with pneumatic cylinders, a solenoid and a timer — no drawer to physically remove.
Does it need a compressed air supply?
Yes — the pneumatic cylinders and FRL unit require a compressed air connection to operate the cleaning cycle.
Can the cleaning cycle be automated on a schedule?
Yes — the timer supports both a manual operating button and automatic scheduled cycles.
