Food Grade Magnet Testing
Ensuring Safety and Compliance with FSMA, SQF, BRC and HACCP Standards. Contact Us Today!
Annual On-Site Testing
We provide thorough on-site Pull Testing and Gauss Testing for magnets in food grade, animal feed & pet food industries to ensure safety and compliance.
We work with leading industrial manufacturers to verify original magnet strength.
We work with food safety organizations to ensure that strength is compliant.
On-site magnet testing involves a qualified technician visiting your facility to assess the strength, condition, and effectiveness of your magnetic separation systems using calibrated equipment like gaussmeters or by performing certified pull tests. This process verifies that magnets meet performance standards, helps prevent accidents and breakdowns, ensures food safety by preventing metal contamination, and provides detailed reports and recommendations for maintenance, repair, or replacement.
Purpose of On-Site Magnet Testing
Food Safety: To ensure magnetic separators effectively capture metallic contaminants, preventing them from ending up in the final product.
Equipment Protection: To protect downstream machinery from damage caused by ferrous metal fragments.
Efficiency & Productivity: To confirm that magnetic systems are operating at peak performance, minimizing downtime and improving workflow.
Compliance & Documentation: To provide necessary documentation for food safety plans and other preventive controls, which can be required by auditors.
Methods Used
Pull Testing: Applying a force to pull a test piece away from the magnet, measuring the attractive force to determine strength.
Gaussmeter Testing: Using a calibrated gaussmeter to measure the magnetic field strength.
Visual Inspection: Examining the condition of the magnet, case, leads, and other components for wear, corrosion, or damage.
What to Expect
Data Collection: Technicians will collect information on magnet type, location, and purpose.
Field Engineers: Qualified engineers will visit your site to conduct tests.
Detailed Reports: You will receive a formal report with test results, condition evaluations, recommendations, and a list of action items.
HACCP Support: Reports can be used as documentation to support HACCP-based food safety plans.
Benefits
Informed Decisions: Provides data to make informed decisions about magnet maintenance and replacement.
Reduced Costs: Helps minimize repair costs by identifying issues early.
Improved Safety: Identifies potential hazards and ensures magnets are functioning safely.
Industries served: Flour Milling, sugar, pet food, animal feed and grain, baking, dairy, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and all human consumption.
