The BKM-AUT/VI chute magent is equipped with remote controls and a fully-automatic cleaning system. A valve box incorporated in the system ensures that the iron particles captured by the magnets are discharged outside the housing during thhe cleaning process. This system is suitable for non-continuous processes.

After stopping the material flow the cleaning cycle can be activated by giving a signal to an electric valve. The valve box rotates and the magnets are moved outwards to remove the magnetic field from the housing. The captured iron particles are released and discharged via thhe valve box away from the product flow. The housing is fitted with rising poles designed to prevent particles captured by the magnets from being released into the product flow.

Continuous-flow systems for continuous processes are available on request; these units are designed such that the transport and separation processes can continue without interruption during the cleaning cycle.
