veying using the company's products such as drawer magnets
and pneumatic line separators. This specialized test cell allows
IMI to use customer supplied product samples to simulate
bulk conveying characteristics such as particle sized materials, granular products or pellets and test them at specified flow
rates and product velocities.

Opti rare earth magnetic circuit
The Opti Series addresses new standards for magnet separators. Each circuit is designed to optimize values which have
been identified and earmarked as critical measurements for
the specification, purchase, audit, verification and validation
requirements for magnetic separation equipment and meets a
specific thresholds of repeatable magnet performance.

"Customers will have the benefit of knowing how their magnets
will perform in the field prior to installation, which gives them
real confidence in the capabilities of their system before the
magnets are built, shipped and installed," said Paul Hardy, lab
coordinator. Other equipment in the lab includes a crane system with an air chain hoist for testing load weights up to a half
ton, a pull-test machine with capabilities up to 15,000 pounds,
gauss testing, and parts-per-million testing for ferrous contaminants in bulk material samples.

"With regard to the stringent and evolving standards around
food safety, we are the only manufacturer of foreign body
detection and removal equipment certified by HACCP International for the North American market," said Gentner when the
certification was announced. There are four rare earth circuit
configurations in the product family which ranges from 9,500
to 11,000 gauss and various pull strengths to match various
applications.
In another recent development, in August 2018 the company
completed a new, onsite research and development lab for
simulated application testing of customer's prospective holding, lifting, automation, conveying, and magnetic separation

products and test stands designed to replicate the customer's
application in the field and assist in choosing the right magnetic
product for the job.
Most recently, work was completed on an automated testing
system for both pneumatic and gravity-fed bulk materials conwww.MagneticsMag.com
