Ensuring quality of craft ale malt

Simpsons Malt has installed a high intensity magnetic separator from Eclipse Magnetics to ensure the maximum quality and integrity of its craft ale malt.

As an independent, family owned maltster providing premium malt to the brewing, distilling and food industries worldwide, Simpsons Malt has two malting plants in the UK, one in Tivetshall St Margaret, Norwich and another in Berwick-Upon-Tweed in Northumberland.

Eclipse Magnetics installed the Easy Clean Housed Grid Magnet at the very end of Simpsons Malt’s malting process, ensuring all contamination is effectively removed from the malt before it is bagged up and allowed to be sold. The malt falls through an extended section of pipework before it reaches the magnetic separator, allowing the housed grid to effectively pick up any fine metal and paramagnetic contamination from the product. Simpsons Malt also benefits from the unit’s Easy Clean system, which allows all attracted contamination to be easily and quickly collected.
