Magnetic Filte Metal Trap
● Ferrous Contamination Control
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.

🔧 Routine Service
Cleaning Procedure
- Stop the fluid flow and isolate the Metal Trap.
- Relieve internal pressure and allow the fluid to drain safely.
- Open the top cover and withdraw the magnetic assembly.
- Remove captured ferrous contamination with a clean cloth or suitable scraper.
- Inspect the seal and magnetic assembly, then refit and tighten the cover.
- Restore flow and check the housing and connections for leakage.

Important: A magnetic trap targets ferrous contamination. Non-magnetic particles, water and oxidation products require an appropriate complementary filtration or oil-purification system.
FAQs
What is a magnetic filtration system?
A magnetic filtration system is an industrial ferrous contamination control system that captures iron, steel, rust, and other magnetic particles from oil and process fluids using a permanent magnetic field. It works without disposable filter elements, making it suitable for continuous inline protection of lubricating, hydraulic, and process-fluid circuits.
How does a magnetic filtration system work?
Contaminated fluid flows through the magnetic field surrounding the internal magnetic assembly. Ferrous particles are attracted and retained on the magnetic surfaces, while clean fluid continues through the outlet and back into the system.
Where are magnetic filtration systems commonly used?
These systems are widely used in hydraulic oil systems, lubrication systems, gearbox oil circuits, cutting-oil and grinding coolant systems, quenching oil, process-fluid lines, and in steel, metal, power, and cement plants.
Which types of fluid can be cleaned using a magnetic filtration system?
Magnetic filtration systems can be used with hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, gearbox oil, cutting oil, grinding coolant, machining coolant, quenching oil, and other process fluids carrying ferrous contamination.
What are the main advantages of using a magnetic filtration system?
Key advantages include zero consumable cost, a reusable magnetic assembly, reduced ferrous wear debris, protection for pumps and valves, longer component life, and low routine maintenance compared to conventional filtration systems.
Can a magnetic filter remove all types of contamination?
No. A magnetic trap targets ferrous and magnetically responsive contamination only. Non-magnetic particles, water, and oxidation products require an appropriate complementary filtration or oil-purification system.
