Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Low Profile Drawer Magnets different from standard drawer magnets?
Low Profile Drawer Magnets feature an ultra-compact 5-11/16" overall height, making them the most compact drawer magnets on the market. They're specifically designed for installations with critical headroom limitations where standard drawer magnets won't fit, while maintaining all the essential magnetic protection features of larger units.
What are the key design features of Low Profile Drawer Magnets?
Key features include: single row of 1" diameter high energy magnetic cartridges for constant ferrous contamination protection, heavy 3/8" thick clear polycarbonate drawer front for visual contamination checks, rigid 10-gauge mild steel all-welded construction, and ¼" thick flanges predrilled to your specifications. Stainless steel construction and Rare Earth Magnetic Cartridges are also available as options.
What is the No-Spill™ Slide Gate option?
The No-Spill™ Slide Gate is an optional feature that prevents material spillage during cleaning and maintenance. When activated, it creates a barrier that contains material within the drawer magnet housing, making cleaning safer and more efficient while reducing product loss and improving workplace cleanliness.
What materials and magnet options are available?
You can choose between standard mild steel construction or upgraded stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance. For magnetic performance, options include standard permanent magnetic cartridges or high-performance Rare Earth Magnetic Cartridges that provide stronger magnetic fields for more effective ferrous contamination removal in demanding applications.
How do I know when the drawer needs cleaning?
The heavy 3/8" thick clear polycarbonate drawer front allows operators to visually check contamination levels without disassembling the unit. Regular visual inspections through the clear front will indicate when accumulated ferrous material needs to be removed. For optimal performance, we recommend regular cleaning schedules based on your specific material flow and contamination levels.
