High-Strength Magnetic Separation for Grain, Seed & Flour Processing
High-strength magnetic separation is vital for ensuring product purity in grain, seed, and flour processing. These systems effectively remove fine ferrous contaminants and stainless steel particles, protecting downstream machinery from damage. By integrating powerful neodymium magnets, processors achieve maximum safety standards, prevent sparks, and ensure high-quality, metal-free end products for the food industry.
Magnetic Grill Machine Overview
What Is a Drawer Magnet?
The ADDAMS Magnetic Grill Machine, also known as a Drawer Magnet, is a highly effective system for separating ferrous metals in grain, seed, flour, and powder processing plants. Installed in gravity-fed product lines, this unit captures and removes fine and coarse ferrous contaminants—including nails, wires, bolts, and metal dust—before they reach downstream machinery.
Why Magnetic Separation Is Critical in Food Processing
Built with powerful rare-earth magnets arranged in multiple rows of stainless steel tubes, the ADDAMS Magnetic Grill ensures maximum metal removal while maintaining smooth product flow. It is a critical safeguard for food safety, machine protection, and quality assurance.
Principles of Operation of the Magnetic Grill Separator
Product Flow & Zig-Zag Separation Path
Our Drawer-In-Housing separators consist of multiple rows of round magnetic tubes. As the product flows into the top of the housing, it is forced to cascade in a zig-zag pattern over the staggered tubes.
Ferrous Metal Capture Mechanism
As ferrous contaminants pass through the magnetic field, they are held securely to the tubes. This includes nails, wires, bolts, metal fragments, and fine metal dust.
EZ-Clean Drawer Cleaning System
The EZ-Clean design allows operators to pull handles on the front, removing the magnetic drawer from the flow. As the tubes pass through a seal, the accumulated metal is wiped off into a collection pan for easy disposal.

Magnetic Grill Machine – Frequently Asked Questions
Why is magnetic separation necessary for seed processing machines?
Ferrous contaminants such as nails or bolts can cause severe damage to downstream equipment like hammer mills or optical sorters. Removing metal dust is also required for HACCP and international food safety certifications.
What is the benefit of rare earth magnets compared to standard magnets?
Rare earth magnets generate significantly stronger magnetic fields in a compact size, allowing the capture of tiny metal shavings and work-hardened stainless steel particles that standard ferrite magnets may miss.
How often should the magnetic drawer be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on contamination levels. High-volume production lines may require daily or shift-based cleaning, while fully automated plants can use pneumatic self-cleaning systems.
Does the magnetic grill restrict product flow?
No. Tube spacing and housing dimensions are engineered to keep the open area larger than the inlet duct size, preventing bottlenecks in production.
