A sanitary stainless steel magnetic strainer-filter is a device that can remove unwanted particles from process fluids and can act as both a strainer and a magnetic trap. They are often used in industries such as food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics production.Magnetic strainers can help protect equipment from damage caused by foreign materials, such as sludge buildup in heating systems. They can also be cost-effective. Strainers and filters differ in the size of particles they remove. Strainers typically remove larger particles that are visible in a liquid or gas, while filters remove smaller contaminants that are often invisible to the naked eye. Sanitary stainless steel strainers and filters often use a reusable wire mesh screen to remove larger particles, while filters use disposable media to capture smaller particles. Sanitary grade, stainless steel magnetic filters and separators can be used safely in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, cosmetics production, and more.
