  • Patent number: 11027288
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for removing magnetizable particles in a substance, the apparatus comprising a magnetic separation chamber for filtering magnetizable particles and flocs from the substance, wherein the magnetic separation chamber comprises a first housing that defines a first space through which the substance can flow, as well as at least one first magnet of which a first magnetic field reaches into the first space, and which first magnet is located within a first holder that has an interface with the first space; and a flocculation chamber for inducing flocculation of the particles in a substance, the flocculation chamber being in fluid connection with the magnetic separation chamber; wherein the magnetic separation chamber is located downstream of the flocculation chamber, and wherein the flocculation of the magnetizable particles results in magnetizable flocs, and the magnetic field of the first magnet causes the magnetizable flocs to be attracted towards the first magnet, thereby rem

  • Patent number: 6077333
    Abstract: A device for removing magnetizable parts from a liquid, dry substance, or gas includes a housing and at least one magnet whose magnetic field extends into the space inside the housing. The magnet attracts magnetizable parts in the substance passing through the housing. Each magnet is positioned in a magnet holder. A spraying member is positioned in the space within the housing to clean the outside of each magnet holder.
