Gaussmeter measure magnet strength

Monitor magnet strength for Compliance

The Cesco GA40 Digital Gaussmeter allows anyone to quickly and accurately measure the magnetic strength of any magnet or magnetic circuit.

Our gauss measurement kit includes a digital gaussmeter capable of measuring any permanent magnet field, 48” flexible probe, a package of magnetic viewing paper and easy to read instruction manual making HACCP compliance or on line magnetic separator analysis a “snap”.

Metal scrap particles

What can a hygienic magnetic separator capture?

Metal trash and fines, including work-hardened stainless steel as small as 0.0001 inches are captured by powerful, rare-earth, neodymium magnets and held in-place until cleaned.

The metal fines that could enter your products can potentially originate from many different sources.

For example, nickel plating on cast iron machinery can peel or chip, stainless steel can be sheared, abraded, cut or torn off mixer blades, kettle sides, pump parts or cutter blades.

All of these metallic particles can be successfully captured and safely removed by placing Cesco Magnetics’ units in your production lines.

Our units have the ability to capture fine particles of iron, nickel, cobalt and stainless-steel grades 304, 316, 410, 420 and 430 work-hardened shear.

Magnetic separation efficiency is dependent on several factors including strength and gradient of the magnetic field, size and composition of the metal trash, distance between the trash and the magnet, viscosity of the product and the rate of product flow.
