Ferrous Contamination Control

Karroter

Magnetic Filter – Metal Trap

An inline magnetic separation system designed to capture ferrous metal contamination from industrial oils and process fluids. It continuously protects downstream equipment by retaining magnetic wear debris inside a robust stainless-steel housing.

  • Captures iron, steel, rust and other magnetic particles

  • Cleanable magnetic assembly without disposable filter media

  • Inline construction for continuous fluid protection

Separation Process

Working Principle

Contaminated fluid enters the housing and flows through the magnetic field surrounding the internal magnetic assembly. Ferrous particles are attracted to and retained on the magnetic surfaces. The cleaned fluid then leaves through the outlet while captured contamination remains inside for removal during scheduled cleaning.

Cleaning Procedure

  1. Stop the fluid flow and isolate the Metal Trap.
  2. Relieve internal pressure and allow the fluid to drain safely.
  3. Open the top cover and withdraw the magnetic assembly.
  4. Remove captured ferrous contamination with a clean cloth or suitable scraper.
  5. Inspect the seal and magnetic assembly, then refit and tighten the cover.
  6. Restore flow and check the housing and connections for leakage.
