Abstract

A magnetic particle separator which provides a magnetic grate in which magnetic rods are inserted in non-magnetic tubes forming a magnetic grate in the particle stream to be separated. The Magnetic rods can be removed from the assembly only when the grate is removed from the particle stream. The invention also provides a system of at least two separators assembled in series in the particle stream so that one of the separators may be removed for cleaning and the other will perform the separating function thus not requiring the system to be shut down during separator cleaning.
