Plate magnets attract the iron particle from a large distance. But the general rule is that the closer the magnetic plate is to the product, the more effective the iron separation is. Goudsmit builds all magnetic plates that are mounted above product lines with ‘flux control’ to create a deeper holding field. These include extra magnets between the poles that cause the lines of flux to penetrate deeper into the product flow. Magnetic plates for applications in which the product flows over the magnet (type B) are designed with the strongest possible magnetic field at the poles, rather than deeply penetrating lines of flux. A ridge prevents captured iron particles from being carried away again by the product stream.
