Project description
A new type of magnetic food filter
Flour and other powder-type products make up a considerable part of the food market. However, these products are threatened by contamination of metallic dirt during processing. This problem intensifies by the fact that existing magnetic filters are not efficient, while state-of-the-art bullet magnets are expensive to operate. The EU-funded Magnesys project is based on the development and test of HGF, a new magnetic filter for food processing. This will enable uninterrupted filtering of metallic magnetic dirt from various powder foods.
Objective
In food processing like in the case of flour mills but also other powder type materials, the contamination by metallic impurities is a problem. Today`s magnetic filters do not satisfying in term of efficiency and cleaning costs. Bullet magnets that are state-of-art of the filter technology are expensive to operate because of the high electric consumption.
MagneSys developed and tested HGF , a novel patent pending magnetic filter for food processing that allows the continuous filtering-out of iron magnetic particles from various solid foods in dry powder form such as flour for example.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
