The Model U Trap utilizes a Rare Earth magnet circuit to remove fine and weakly magnetic contamination like rust, scale, or screen wire. Model U Traps remove ferrous contamination from difficult–to–flow or chunky products like vegetables, salsa, or meat batters. The special body design of the Model U incorporates a gradually tapered transition that gently directs the product over a smooth magnetic surface. The body design does not incorporate diverters or baffles. This design works well for applications where finger–style traps would plug due to large product size or where delicate products would break if forced against a baffle.
