Magnetic Separation With Butter, Fats And Oils

Saumweber GmbH of Munich is a family business of 50 employees which specialises in the production of butter, fats and oils. Their product range includes all standard and specialist fats for human consumption eg butter and butterfat, margarine and baking margarine, vegetable fats and vegetable oils. Quality and quality control are central to the company’s success and strong emphasis is placed on a policy of continuous improvement to ensure that they are using the latest technology and processes. In order to meet current food production standards and guidelines (eg IFS) Saumweber installed a magnet separator from the S+S LIQUIMAG LM range.

The LIQUIMAG LM’s powerful magnets (13000 Gauss) remove even weakly magnetised stainless steel particles from the product flow. The LIQUIMAG magnet separator is equipped with an EASY CLEAN feature to ensure quick and effective cleaning. Because of internal production operations and the limitations of space Saumweber decided to integrate the magnet separator into the existing pressure pipeline prior to filling into large containers.
