FEATURE ARTICLE Adey Combats Sludge with Creative Magnetic Filtration Products Its MagnaClean DRX introduces an innovative and compact design to protect commercial heating systems. Its unique magnetic belt technology makes servicing quick and easy while applying the magnetic force necessary to clean system piping ranging from 2 to 4 inches in diameter. The magnets are spring-loaded in the belt to ensure they align properly with the glass-reinforced nylon canister and maximize capture. Magnetite sludge can create big headaches in certain types of heating equipment which is one reason why UK-based Adey has been so successful designing magnetic filtration equipment to prevent sludge buildup in residential and commercial boilers. A manufacturer of magnetic filtration and water treatment equipment, the company has recently developed two filters that demonstrate its creative approaches using magnetics technology to solve the problem.

The quantity of them depends on the size of the filter. A 2-inch filter takes 48 magnets, the 3-inch filter takes 64 magnets and the 4-inch filter has 80 of the magnets. The product can be put on a new boiler and installed as a retrofit. 703.996.8990 FAX: 703.996.8770 www.MagneticsMag.comhttp://www.MEDA.COM http://www.MagneticsMag.com
