Problem:
This fine powder (minus 15 microns) is used in the production of automobile catalytic converters. A major supplier had 300 drums already in transit or ready for shipment to
Toyota Japan when it was discovered that paramagnetic contaminants were present in the powder.
Solution:
A sample of the material was immediately sent to Eriez'
Central Test Laboratory to determine the most efficient method of removing the ferrous contaminants.
Tests indicated that a Dry Vibrating Magnetic Filter would be ideal for the process. Once shipped and installed, the DVMF captured and held the magnetic fraction in a magnetically charged matrix, while the nonmagnetic portion passed through the filter, ready for production.
Eriez' Dry Vibrating Magnetic Filters are typically used in the manufacture of high-purity glass, chemicals, abrasives, metal powders, talc and microelectronics.
