A Powerful Ally for Gearbox Protection: Steel Mill Edition - Special Magnetic Filter
Magnet Filter MAGNOM (Magnum)
Originally developed to improve the durability of F1 race engines, the magnetic filter is effective in protecting the lubrication circuit of the cold rolling line in steel mills.
By introducing "Magnum" to the line, we can significantly reduce costs such as repair expenses, parts costs, and downtime. "Magnum" was originally developed to improve the durability of F1 racing transmissions. This is a performance report from a major steel company in Malaysia with a site area of 500 acres. Here, they were troubled by the accumulation of iron contamination in the transmission lubrication circuit of the cold rolling line. Even with two existing filter systems, fine iron contamination remained in the bearing lubrication circuit. With the introduction of Magnum, it was confirmed that a significant amount of visible iron contamination was captured in just 16 days! Following the trial of Magnum, the maintenance manager was convinced of the effectiveness of Magnum technology based on survey results showing improved oil cleanliness. Due to the positive test results, they decided to purchase an additional seven units for other lines. Our maintenance team was relieved to find that by introducing Magnum, they could eliminate the most harmful iron dust in the line, finally putting an end to the cycle of wear.

basic information
■Removal of fine particles is possible Magnum can capture fine magnetic particles (submicron: 10μm to 0.07μm) that cannot be removed by filters using filter paper or mesh, such as cartridge filters. ■No clogging Due to its special structure, where magnets are sandwiched between special plates, it does not block the flow path in the area where iron powder is captured. Therefore, it does not cause any clogging or pressure loss. Even when the capture capacity limit is reached, it does not hinder the operation of the device. ■Powerful capturing ability The magnets enhance the magnetic flux through a special arrangement, resulting in a significant difference in the capturing ability of iron powder compared to simple magnets. Unlike conventional magnetic filters, which can only capture contaminants from liquids close to the magnets, this structure greatly improves the cleanliness of the fluid. ■No re-release Captured contaminants are stored in a powerful accumulation area separate from the flow path. The dangerous phenomenon that can occur with regular magnetic filters, where the magnetic force weakens as the distance from the magnet increases, allowing once-captured and solidified contaminants to re-release as a lump, does not happen at all.

Challenges of conventional filtration methods Microparticle contaminants that cannot be captured by filter mesh circulate Filter clogging Frequency of filter replacement (forgetting) Re-release of microparticle contaminants

The machine oil used in hydraulic and lubrication systems is constantly battling contamination. The wear particles that are always generated can lead to catastrophic mechanical damage, such as galling, wear chains, and valve blockages, which is why filters are always installed to prevent these issues. So why do failures still occur due to fluid cleanliness despite the presence of standard filters? It is because even extremely small wear particles, which cannot be captured by regular filters, still affect the wear and damage of equipment. This type of filter is designed to capture particles larger than the pores (voids) of the element itself. In other words, particles smaller than the filter's pores tend to pass through unobstructed. However, if the filter is made finer to actively filter out fine particles, it will quickly become clogged, necessitating frequent replacements. If replacements are not made, the safety valve will open to prevent blockage in the flow path, rendering the filter ineffective. Therefore, the only option is to accept the presence of fine particles and use a filter that only captures particles within a range that does not immediately lead to failure. If one forgets to replace a saturated filter, damage will occur.
