News from Eclipse Magnetics: Eclipse Shortlisted for MWP Awards

The Eclipse Magnetics Micromag magnetic filter has been shortlisted for a 2008 MWP Award in the Best Tooling Product, equipment or system.

Micromag, which was launched in 2007, is a high-intensity magnetic filter which significantly improves filtration efficiency over conventional systems. It uses high-power neodymium ‘rare earth’ magnets to remove ferrous and para-magnetic contamination from fluids and is particularly effective with machine tool oils and coolants.

The MWP Awards, which have been running on an international basis for over 25 years, recognise outstanding achievement in manufacturing technology. Award sponsors include the Royal Bank of Scotland Business Banking and the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA).

Micromag secured a place on the shortlist because of its many unique features, including an innovative flow-geometry path, which ensures the filter cannot block and which prevents excessive pressure loss, both of which are crucial to efficient operation. This is achieved by arranging the magnets around a central magnetic flux return shield to ensure that all the magnets' performance is used whilst still allowing unaffected fluid flow, even when the core is fully saturated with contamination.

John Dargavel, Sales and Marketing Director at Eclipse Magnetics, comments: “We are delighted to have been shortlisted in the prestigious MWP Awards. It is a testament to our continued focus on investment and innovation which has enabled us to offer our customers significantly improved filtrations levels in addition to environmental benefits.”

For many customers, installing Micromag has been an essential part of achieving their environmental commitments. All that remains in Micromag is the metallic contamination, which can be quickly and easily removed, avoiding the need to dispose of dirty cartridges. With minimal running costs and no requirement for consumables, Micromag is becoming an essential part of many of the world’s leading manufacturing operations.

Eclipse Magnetics has been leading the field of magnetic technology for over a century and manufactures around 20 000 different products. These include magnets, magnet assemblies, magnet sub-assemblies, magnetic tools, magnetic chucks, magnetic separators, magnetic filters and custom-engineered magnetic handling units.

Micromag is available in three housing sizes: 5" & 10", with 1" inlet / outlet ports, and a 20" unit, with 1" ports. All units are supplied with port adaptors to suit most pipe connection sizes. Although compact in size, Micromag has a large holding capacity with units able to hold 900, 1800 and 3600g of contamination, resulting in less downtime.
