Special Magnets
At Techco Power Engineering we can assist with any magnets you might require and offer various solutions to suit any application. There are too many types of magnets to mention which we cover and ask that you please contact us regarding your special application.
We will name only a few of the special magnets we cover below:
Can Turning Magnets
Can turning magnets are used in the food and beverage industries,
Often cans are turned throughout the process.
An example of this is when a can is sprayed clean with water the can is upside down on the conveyor, the can now needs to be turned upright to be filled. The can turning magnet is placed in on the conveyor belt to grab and turn the can upright.
Other times cans are turned to allow the product inside the can to mix for example when canning fruit cells / canned fruit the cans are turned to allow the syrup to mix well with the fruit / cells whilst ensuring no damage is caused to your cans.
Can turning magnets are available in many sizes to suit your needs perfectly.
Car Door Alignment Magnets
Car door magnets are used in the automotive industry.
These unique magnets are used as car door alignment tools when assembling car doors to ensure they are perfectly aligned to the body of your car.
The car door magnet is built to be perfectly square and offer good holding power, Simply put these alignment magnets halfway on the door and halfway on the body/frame and the magnet will attract the two equally to sit perfectly aligned allowing you to adjust your hinges accordingly. These car door magnets are the perfect tool for everyone building and panel beating cars.
The units are robust and are made from 3cr12 magnetic stainless steel.
Magnetic Filters
Magnetic filters are used for many different applications. Fluid and Liquid traps is mostly used in the food industry please click here for more information
Magnetic filters are used to filter products in a liquid / slurry form from Ferro magnetic particles ensuring the equipment has a longer lifespan especially in applications where friction is present like gearboxes.
They are available in many forms and shapes to suit any application perfectly. Gearboxes and differentials often use magnetic filters in the form of a sump plug magnet to remove ferro magnetic particles which reduce wear and extend the lifespan of the oil and Gearbox.
Fuel lines & Hydraulic lines in the form of an inline magnetic filter, Boilers & Geysers in the form of an inline magnetic filter. Magnetic water filters remove ferro particles from water
Cascade Magnets
Cascade magnets are often used for course products as well as products that can clog / bridge easily.
These units allow for quick and easy cleaning and can be supplied with automatic cleaning. The material is guided by the chute to fall directly onto your magnet doors which in turn attracts all the ferrous contaminates contained in the material.
These units are normally installed where space is not restricted and therefore are designed with quick and easy cleaning in mind, The unit often includes a splitter just before the outlet, This splitter is then set to the discharge position for cleaning, Once the splitter is set to discharge the magnet doors are opened allowing the ferrous contaminates caught to be released down the discharge chute for disposal.
This process can be done manually or automatically normally using pneumatic / electric actuators making cleaning quick and hassle free to minimize down time. Cascade magnets are available in many sizes and can contain 2-10 magnet doors The units are fully made from food grade stainless steel polished to a sanitary finish. The magnets are available in Gauss ratings of 1500 – 11 000 Surface gauss and are supplied with certificates. The units are supplied with flanges / attachments to fit your process perfectly.
Magnetic Palletizers
Magnetic Palletizers are ideal for handling steel cans / steel top jars quickly and efficiently.
These units can pick up an entire layer of cans / jars in one go whilst the cans / jars are empty or full.
The unit can either stack these units onto a pallet or take a layer off a pallet to be packed onto your conveyors quickly and efficiently.
The unit is designed to not damage your product whilst ensuring enough power is available to ensure no cans/jars are dropped whilst being handled.
The units are available in any size to suit your needs perfectly and can accommodate most product sizes.
The cans / jar tops have to be magnetic.
These units are made with permanent magnets ensuring offer a maximum life span.
The magnet plate located inside the casing is moved to the on / off position using pneumatic / electric actuators which move the plate magnet evenly up and down ensuring even power spread across the unit.
These units are available in any size to accommodate your application perfectly.

Teardrop Magnets
Teardrop tube magnets are ideal for fine powder applications that tend to clog / bridge easily.
These units work exactly the same as our Grid magnets but have a sharp lead in at the top (Pointed into the flow of your material) ensuring there is no big surface for the material to bridge on.
The sharp point also diverts the material over the side of the magnet tube well where the strong magnetism is present attracting the ferrous contaminates easily.
Multiple units are often used in a frame to cover larger areas with gaps between the bars for the material to pass through
The magnetic particles that are caught move to the bottom of this tube as the material flows over the magnet allowing the ferrous contaminates to build up under the tube out of the flow of material
These units are available in any length and can be supplied with tapped end caps for easy installation purposes. The units are fully made from food grade stainless steel polished to a sanitary finish. The units are available in Gauss ratings of 5000 – 11 000 Surface Gauss with various sizes available.
Wedge Magnets
Wedge magnets are used in free flowing product streams.
These square / rectangle shaped magnets have a sharp lead in on top ensuring that the product does not bridge / clog easily. Whilst spreading the flow to the front and back magnet faces for easy collection of ferrous contaminates.
The units offer both a long reach field as well as strong holding power ensuring that the collected ferrous contaminates is not released back into the material stream.
These units are normally used in smaller / narrow chutes where installation of big magnets are impossible. Installation of these magnets are easy and do not require allot of space as they sit inside your existing free flowing chutes.
Access panels are supplied on the chute for easy access to these magnets to ensure regular cleaning is done. The unit consists of a food grade stainless steel shell polished to a sanitary finish, These units are built to the HACCP standard when used in the food industry and must offer 80% coverage in the chute.
These units are available in any size to suit your application perfectly.
Magnetic Coolant Cleaners
Magnetic coolant cleaners are used to remove ferrous particles from your coolant in the machining industry.
These cleaners / separators are used on various machines using coolant for example surface grinding machines, milling machines, screw and bolt formers , lathes , band saws , etc.
The units remove the ferrous contaminates / ferrous particles from the coolant ensuring which means your tooling has an extended life and surface finishes are excellent quality whilst also ensuring your coolant offers a much longer life span.
The contaminated coolant enters the magnetic coolant cleaner, the cleaner then attracts and removes the Ferro particles from the coolant on the drum type magnet. Which is discharged.
The clean coolant is now discharged back into your reservoir ready to be used immediately.
These units are available in various sizes to suit your needs perfectly
the unit is completely made from nonmagnetic stainless steel polished to a sanitary finish.
These units are supplied complete ready to run with the inlet and outlet to suit your application perfectly. Available in Surface Gauss options of 1500 - 12 000 Surface Gauss capable of removing stainless steel particles. ( Supplied with certificates )
