  • Publication number: 20260042100
    Abstract: A magnetic separator for a pneumatic conveyor system may include a duct, at least one face plate assembly, at least one magnet assembly, and a wave-shaped deflector. The duct may define a passage through which an airflow and a powder material suspended in the airflow is flowable. The powder material may include non-ferrous material and ferrous material. The face plate assembly and the magnet assembly may be disposed on a side of the duct. The magnet assembly may provide at least one magnetic field that draws the ferrous material toward the face plate assembly and retains the ferrous material on the face plate assembly. The wave-shaped deflector may be arranged in the passage. The wave-shaped deflector may be structured and arranged to direct and/or guide the airflow and the powder material suspended therein through the passage and, at least in some sections, toward the face plate assembly.
