Magnom helping mould the future
With proven success in automotive, hydraulic and machining operations, a further application for Magnom technology has been found in the cooling system of a Krauss Maffei plastic moulding machine
With proven success in automotive, hydraulic and machining operations it was no surprise to discover a further application for Magnom technology Ron Thorne, Partner in Lodent Precision has recently fitted a Magnom mini module to the closed loop cooling/heating system of a Krauss Maffei plastic moulding machine to protect the system from the harmful effects of contamination

Magnom provides clean well water supply
Magnom used to clean the water from a well at Nissan Motors, to produce acceptable cleanliness levels for wash processes in a power train gear manufacturing plant
Tube forming improved with Magnom water quality
An international tube forming company sought process and cleanliness improvements of the tube forming section within their plant, and Magnom came up with the solution
When asked of his experiences with Magnom Ron commented: "It's brilliant! Within a week of fitting the unit on the cooling circuit I could see the sight glass on the machine clearing.
I know it's working because I can see the results".
The build-up of contaminant within a system causes wear and failure on critical components such as pumps, heaters and chillers.
Installing Magnom ensures the waterways within tools are kept clear of debris.
Cycle times are maintained and hot spots reduced without expensive reworking.
This is all done without the problems of flow restriction and blockages associated with conventional filtration.
The Magnom is a revolutionary device, which comprises a series of annular magnets and innovatively designed steel plates.
The Magnom removes ferrous, and some non-ferrous, contamination to less than one micron in a variety of fluids such as cooling water, hydraulic oil, lubricating oils and machine tool coolants.
The ability to remove contaminants to this degree makes it truly unique and its application within a system ensures complete protection from the hardest wear-inducing particles.
In the Magnom core, where separation takes place, the fluid passes through highly concentrated "field effect" zones, where the contaminant is drawn into special collection areas which have significantly more dirt-holding capacity than conventional filter elements.
Unlike conventional filter elements, the core is easy to clean and re-use.
Due to the unique design of these collection areas, fluid flow is not obstructed, there is no appreciable pressure drop incurred, and the Magnom does not "block".
