Custom Magnetic Filter Inserts for Y Strainers, Bag Filters & Pipeline Strainers

Monarch Industrial Products designs and manufactures custom magnetic inserts for Y strainers, bag filter housings and pipeline strainers. These engineered assemblies enhance particle capture, extend service life and provide added protection for downstream equipment across a wide range of liquid applications.

Magnetic Inserts for Y Strainers

We supply custom magnetic inserts for Y strainers tailored to your process and strainer design. A typical configuration combines a high-strength magnetic element with a mesh screen assembly to capture fine ferrous contamination that standard screens may miss. Each insert is engineered to suit the application, flow conditions and the geometry of the Y strainer to maximise contaminant removal and minimise pressure loss.

Magnetic Inserts for Bag Filters

Magnetic inserts for bag filters are designed to trap and remove fine ferritic particles as the liquid passes through the filter housing. Each magnetic bar consists of high-strength rare earth magnets delivering a field intensity of over 4,000 Gauss.

These ferritic particles are often extremely sharp. Due to their inertia they can damage, or in some cases pass through, the filter media. By capturing these particles before they reach the filter bag, magnetic inserts help protect the media and improve overall filtration performance.

During bag change-out, the magnetic bars are simply withdrawn from the unit; the collected ferrite contamination releases into the support basket, ready for safe disposal.

Magnetic Inserts for Pipeline Strainers

For basket-type pipeline strainers, magnetic inserts can be installed to remove fine iron and steel debris generated by wear of metallic components upstream. These very small particles will often pass through even the finest mesh screens, making magnetic separation essential where high cleanliness is required.

The insert is designed so that all fluid passes over the magnetic element at relatively low velocity, ensuring sufficient contact time for capture. The magnetic assembly is powerful enough to attract and hold the metal particles present, while the magnets themselves are typically encased in an inert material such as stainless steel to prevent corrosion and ensure long service life.
