Craft ale malt maker uses magnetic separator to remove contaminants.
As an independent, family-owned maltster providing premium malt to the brewing, distilling and food industries worldwide, Simpsons Malt Ltd. has two malting plants in the UK, one in Tivetshall St. Margaret, Norwich and another in Berwick-Upon-Tweed in Northumberland.
Before the finished product can be released to the customer, Simpsons Malt must ensure that the malt is free from any metal contaminants. This contamination is a natural consequence of the passing of the product through the bulk movement cycle, where filings from wear and tear of the conveyors may be created. In order to remove any particles such as this, Simpsons needed a magnetic separation system that would ensure the maximum integrity of the finished product.
