Magnetic Separator
High-Gauss Magnetic Separation to Protect Your Rice Mill Machinery & Product Purity
Magnetic Separator for Reliable Tramp Metal Removal
A magnetic separator is a magnet-based unit — typically mounted over a gravity chute, in-line on a conveyor/bucket elevator, or at a hopper/spout outlet — that pulls ferrous tramp metal (nails, bolts, wire, fasteners, and wear fragments) out of the paddy/rice/grain stream before it reaches hullers, polishers, sifters, and packing lines.
Agromach builds its magnetic separators with high-gauss permanent magnets, food-grade stainless steel construction, and accessible/self-cleaning designs so mills get consistent tramp-metal capture without slowing product flow.
- Captures ferrous tramp metal before it reaches milling machinery
- High-gauss permanent magnets for consistent capture
- Self-cleaning / easy-access design for quick maintenance
- Food-grade stainless steel supports hygiene and corrosion resistance
Why Metal Contamination in Rice Milling Is a Serious Risk
Tramp metal entering the grain stream isn't just a supplier issue — much of it is generated by the mill's own equipment wear, and left unchecked it causes:
- Damage to hullers, polishers, sifters, and other processing machinery
- Increased maintenance costs and unplanned equipment downtime
- Contamination reaching finished rice/grain, risking consumer safety
- Product recalls that damage brand reputation
- Regulatory non-compliance with food safety standards
A single overlooked metal fragment can shut down a production line or trigger a costly recall.
Magnetic Separation: A Simple, Reliable Safeguard
Installing a magnetic separator at key points along the grain flow — chute, elevator discharge, or hopper outlet — creates a checkpoint that continuously removes ferrous contamination without interrupting throughput.
A magnetic separator typically costs a small fraction of the machinery line it protects, but prevents damage many times its cost.
- Protects downstream machinery from metal-fragment damage
- Reduces maintenance expense and unplanned downtime
- Helps prevent product recalls and protects brand reputation
- Supports food-safety compliance practice
- Operates continuously with minimal manpower and low power use
Reliable, low-maintenance protection that pays for itself by avoiding a single costly failure.
Agromach Magnetic Separator — Strong, Hygienic, Low-Maintenance
Built for continuous rice-mill duty, with attention to hygiene and ease of upkeep.

Checkpoint-Based Protection
Agromach recommends layering magnetic separators at:
- Bulk grain intake and elevator discharge points
- Pre-huller and pre-polisher checkpoints
- Hopper/spout outlets ahead of sensitive machinery
- Any point with known stainless-on-stainless wear (airlocks, screws)
Multiple placement points give layered, checkpoint-based contamination control.

Magnetic Separator Price
The magnetic separator price depends on:
- Magnet strength (gauss rating) and number/size of elements
- Body material — mild steel vs. food-grade stainless steel
- Manual vs. self-cleaning/automatic cleaning mechanism
- Unit size and throughput capacity
- Customization such as flange sizing or hygienic door design
