In case of emergency
Switch off in case of emergency
The device does NOT have a safety switch. It is very important your installation has the possibility
to switch off the electrical and air supply to the device in case of emergency.
CE Marking
This device complies with all the European and national requirements for construction and operation.
The CE marking confirms the compliance of the device with all the for this marking applicable
EU regulations.
Directives
The standard version of this device complies with the requirements of these European Directives:
- Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC;
- EMC Directive 2014/30/EU;
- ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU (if applicable).
Occupational and public exposure limit values for (electro) magnetic fields
The limit values of magnetic fields are defined by the EMV-guideline 2013/35/EU as follows:
Directive 2013/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on minimum health and
safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from electromagnetic fields.
Observe the following measures regarding exposure to magnetic fields according to EN12198-1 (machine
category = 0, no restrictions) of the device:
0
25
R
95
R
Occupational exposure limit values (general and for limbs) are not exceeded.
Ferromagnetism
The principle operation of the device is based on ferromagnetism. Ferro-magnetism is the property that is
possessed by certain materials, such as iron, cobalt and nickel. These materials can be magnetized when
exposed to an externally applied magnetic field. Materials that remain magnetized after the external magnetic
field has been removed are called permanent magnets or hard magnetic.
Most magnetic materials however, lose their magnetism after the external magnetic field is removed.
These are called ‘weak magnetic’. Most alloys of iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic.
However, some stainless steel alloys such as AISI304 or AISI316 are only weakly magnetic.
All parts subject to wear and tear are excluded from the warranty.
Other remarks/warnings
• Do not use the device if this is damaged.
• Only use the device for the purpose for which it is designed.
• Check that all protective covers (including all safety circuits) are correctly fitted and installed.
• Make sure that the device is maintained correctly and in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Fix any fault before using the device. If the device is used with the fault after you have carried out a risk
assessment, warn the operator and maintenance personnel about the fault and the possible risks that may
result from it.
Function description
The device is suitable for filtering out ferromagnetic particles of 30 µm and larger from product flows.
The maximum particle size is 10 mm. The product can not contain any ferromagnetic parts large enough or
heavy enough to cause damage to the magnetic bars.
Preferably place a sieve in front of the product inlet of the device in your installation.
Scope of application
The device can be used for free-flowing or poorly-flowing (e.g. oily) powder and granular products (up to
10 mm grain size) such as flour, sugar, coffee beans, plastics and ceramics.
Temperature
The device is equipped with standard Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets and is suitable for the following ambient
and product temperatures:

Caution
• Do all work on the device while the product flow is stopped and the compressed air is switched
off via the on/off valve.
• Be careful with tools. Even when the power is off, the magnetic force is still present.
• During maintenance, place the magnetic insert on a non-ferromagnetic surface.
Magnetic systems attract ferromagnetic particles. These particles are removed during the cleaning of the
magnetic insert (cleaning cycle). A small part of your product also "sticks" to the magnetic insert and in the
drain channel. These particles are not removed with the cleaning cycle and must therefore be removed
manually. A clean magnet works considerably better!
Goudsmit Magnetic Systems offers an annual inspection, including replacement of the seals and an
inspection report with certificate for the magnets.
Magnetic bars

The magnetic insert [1] consists of a magnetic bar unit with 2 or more magnetic bars [2].
The magnetic insert is moved in and out of the product flow by pneumatic cylinders [3]. In the magnetic bars,
magnetic packages [4] move in a thin-walled tube [5]. The wall thickness of the tube is 0.7 or 1.2 mm,
depending on the version. Heavy and/or large parts in the product flow can cause dents in the pipes.
These can obstruct and/or damage the movement of the magnet package in the tube. Refer to paragraph
”Specifications” for the maximum size of the particles that may be present in the product flow.
Cleaning the inside of the product chute requires the customer to make a provision to enable
access to the inside of the product chute.
Cleaning and disinfecting methods and agents used for cleaning should be adapted to the specific type of
soiling that occurs (carbohydrates, proteins, fatty substances etc.) and the level of cleanliness required for
your application. The type of product being processed therefore determines to a great extent what
combination of cleaning agents are suited. Consult your supplier of cleaning agents to select the right cleaning
agents for your specific situation.
The materials of construction are stainless steels 1.4301/SAE 304L and 1.4404/SAE 316L. Check with your
cleaning agent supplier for compatibility with the material of the seals that was selected (Silicone, NBR or
VITON).
Use the table below to find the malfunctions, determine the possible cause and find the remedy. In the event
of a malfunction that is not listed in the table, please contact the Goudsmit Magnetics Systems customer
service.

The SECA magnetic separator has a Sigmatek PLC integrated in its control unit. It has been pre-configured
and normally would not require the user to change settings.
Operation
In normal default operation mode the magnet bars are positioned in the product channel to capture
ferromagnetic parts from the product flow. A disposal cycle can be started to dispose of the captured particles.
Note: this requires the product flow to be stopped. This disposal cycle can be triggered locally by pushing this
disposal cycle button [3] or remotely from the central control system.
During normal operation the green status indicator will light up. The magnet bars are in production position
and the device is ready to capture ferromagnetic particles. The product flow can be resumed, in case it is
currently stopped.
When a disposal cycle is being executed the green indicator will turn off until the cycle is completed.
In case the control system detects an error the red indicator will start to blink. The pattern indicates the
specific error. The pattern will consist of short pulses followed by a long pulse (5 sec). The number of short
pulses encodes a specific error according to the following table:
