Magnetics for Industry
Many industries have partnered with Innovative Magnetic Technologies for their magnetic equipment requirements throughout the world. IMT takes pride in designing budget friendly solutions which offer aggressive performance, ease of installation, and years of reliability.
Quality control plays a critical role in all aspects and is a system set in place to help maintain standards in IMT’s manufacturing process.
Custom design, fabrication and assembly involves multiple processes; it is critical to have well-documented quality control procedures. IMT operates an in-house quality assurance program following materials and components from receipt of delivery through fabrication to final product ensuring the highest quality standards are met.
Aggregate & Quarrying
Aggregate operations rely on magnetic separation systems to remove tramp metal before material reaches crushers, pulverizers, grinding circuits, and other sizing equipment. By capturing metal contaminants early in the process, these systems help protect critical machinery from damage. IMT’s magnetic separation solutions also help minimize wear on impeller pumps and other conveying components. In addition, IMT offers a range of magnetic products including magnetic conveying systems, magnetic fasteners, and temporary patching solutions.
Biomass Cogeneration Plants
The biomass, co-generation, and recycling sectors depend on a variety of magnetic separation and classification technologies to keep their processes running smoothly. IMT’s magnetic equipment delivers reliable, long-term solutions designed to meet the needs of these evolving industries. By removing tramp metal contamination, IMT systems help safeguard grinders, hogs, chippers, presses, and pelletizers from damage while ensuring a cleaner, metal-free end product.
Bulk Material Handling
Bulk material handling operations and ship loading facilities frequently rely on magnetic separation systems to ensure products are free of metal contamination before they are shipped to customers. Materials such as grains, wood chips, wood pellets, coal, aggregates, cement, and various minerals can pick up metal debris during conveying and handling. IMT’s magnetic separation solutions provide an efficient and cost-effective way to remove these contaminants and maintain product purity before transport.
Cement Plants
Cement processing operations depend on magnetic separation systems to remove tramp metal before materials reach crushers, pulverizers, grinding circuits, and other sizing equipment. By capturing metal contaminants early, these systems help protect critical machinery from damage. IMT’s magnetic separation solutions also help reduce wear on impeller pumps and other conveying components throughout the process.
Mining & Mineral Processing
Mining operations rely on magnetic separation equipment to remove tramp metal before material reaches crushers, pulverizers, grinding circuits, and other sizing equipment. Eliminating metal contaminants early in the process helps protect valuable machinery from damage. IMT’s magnetic separation systems also help minimize wear on impeller pumps and other conveying components used throughout the operation.
Pulp & Paper Producers
The pulp and paper industry depends on IMT’s magnetic equipment to help ensure wood chips are free from metal contamination before entering the production process. Tramp metal can cause significant equipment damage and costly downtime during processing. While many facilities use metal detection systems, these often result in rejected wood material that still requires metal removal. IMT offers a range of magnetic separation solutions designed to address this challenge. These systems are widely used throughout the industry to help protect presses, grinders, and chipping equipment while extending their service life.
Recycling Plants
The recycling industry continues to evolve, relying on a variety of separation and classification technologies to manage different materials efficiently. IMT’s permanent magnetic equipment provides reliable, long-term solutions for this growing sector. By removing tramp metal contamination, IMT systems help protect grinders, hogs, chippers, presses, and pelletizing equipment from damage while ensuring a cleaner, metal-free final product.
Wood Processors
Magnetic systems are widely used in wood processing operations, including sawmills, OSB facilities, chipping and hogging operations, pellet plants, plywood production, and remanufacturing facilities. IMT’s magnetic separation solutions are commonly used across these sectors to remove tramp metal and help protect presses, grinders, and chipping equipment. By capturing metal contaminants early, these systems help extend equipment life and maintain smoother operations.
Every application is unique and our expertise can provide an efficient and cost-effective solution.

Types of Magnets Used in Industrial Process Plants
Ceramic Magnets – Strontium Ferrite (SrO·6Fe2O3)
Typically, permanent ceramic magnets are made of strontium ferrite, which has a high coercivity rating and resistant to becoming demagnetized. Compared to other magnetic core materials, ceramic magnets are inexpensive and are widely used in heavy industrial applications. IMT utilizes ceramic magnets in many of our products such at magnetic plates, grate magnets, and suspended permanent magnets.
Rare Earth Magnet – Neodymium (NdFeB), Samarium Cobalt (SmCo5)
A Rare Earth Magnet, also known as a neodymium magnet, is the strongest permanent magnetic core material available from IMT. Rare earth magnets have approximately 14 times the magnetic pull forces when compared to ceramic ferrite magnets. Neodymium magnets are utilized when tramp metal contaminants have smaller particle sizes or difficult shapes to capture such as spheres for instance.
High temperature applications often use samarium cobalt instead of neodymium due to a higher Curie point – the temperature at which a magnet loses their permanent magnetic properties.
Electromagnets – Aluminum or Copper Core
Electromagnets generate a magnetic field by an electric current from copper or aluminum wire wound into a coil around a solid core. The magnetic field is concentrated at the core which is made from ferrous material (iron) and concentrates the magnetic flux and creates an extremely powerful magnet.
Industries such as mining, aggregates, and concrete recycling utilize IMT electromagnetic separators to remove large tramp contaminants such as bucket teeth, rebar, and crusher teeth.
