In our magnetic separators, we use 1mm thick AISI 304 / EN 1.4301 stainless steel tubes and magnets with a strength of 6500, 8000, or 10,000 Gauss because these parameters provide optimal performance and durability of the device. Choosing the appropriate thickness of the tube wall is crucial to avoid wear and premature wear of the separator. A too thin wall could be easily damaged, while a too thick wall would weaken the magnetic force of the separator.
For magnets, we offer various options for magnetic strength (6500, 8000, or 10,000 Gauss) to customize the separator to the customer's individual needs. We use magnets with high energy coefficients (N42 or N52), which ensure high magnetic strength and long-term stability.
This configuration of our magnetic separators allows us to avoid problems related to low quality and short-term operation of competitive devices, such as competitive products that often have poor workmanship and quick wear but have high magnetic power. However, in practice, long-lasting and reliable operation of the separator is equally if not more important than maximum magnetic strength. Therefore, in our separators, we focus on the optimal combination of performance and durability, which allows for effective separation of metallic particles while protecting the customer's investment in the long run.
In summary, using a 0.5mm thick wall can indeed increase the magnetic force of the separator, reaching up to ~ 14,000 Gauss, but it shortens the lifespan of the device due to a higher risk of damage. In our opinion, a magnetic force of around ~ 10,000 Gauss or more is sufficient to capture all metal particles while providing a longer lifespan of the separator by using a 1mm thick wall. This makes our magnetic separators efficient, reliable, and long-lasting, translating into customer satisfaction and better work results.
