Magnetic filter IFM 50/K flanged IFM-50/K

Magnetic filter – installation protection and effective water purification

The IFM 50/K flanged connection magnetic filter is an advanced solution for cleaning water from ferromagnetic and mechanical impurities. The device combines two filtration methods – mechanical and magnetic – providing comprehensive protection for central heating, domestic hot and cold water systems, and fittings. This is particularly important in systems where the presence of corrosion products can lead to failures and reduced energy efficiency.

Construction and principle of operation

The IFM 50/K filter consists of a durable body and cover made of cast iron, a stainless steel mesh insert, and a magnetic insert. The magnetic insert, built from a stack of ferrite magnets separated by spacers, creates a strong magnetic field (up to 0.5 T in magnetic traps) that effectively captures ferromagnetic particles such as rust and sediment. Non-magnetic impurities are retained by a precise filter mesh. This two-stage filtration ensures high efficiency in removing impurities, protecting sensitive installation elements from damage. The filter design allows for the division of the working area into two parts: an area for inducing a dipole moment and an area for magnetic trapping.

Applications and benefits

Installation of the IFM 50/K filter is recommended in strategic points of the installation:

• Before pumps: Protects pumps from damage caused by abrasive particles and corrosion.
• Before control and measuring and regulating fittings: Ensures measurement accuracy and proper valve operation.
• Before magnetizers: Protects the magnetic stack from ferromagnetic deposits, maintaining high device efficiency.
• In CH and DHW installations: Improves water quality, extends installation life, and reduces operating costs.

Thanks to the use of the IFM 50/K filter, it is possible to:

• Minimize the risk of installation failures caused by impurities.
• Improve the energy efficiency of the heating system.
• Reduce costs associated with repairs and replacement of damaged components.
• Extend the life of heating equipment and fittings.
• Maintain optimal installation operating parameters for a long time.

The IFM 50/K filter with a flanged connection is an ideal solution for both domestic and industrial installations where high water quality and reliable system operation are required. Installation is possible on both horizontal and vertical pipelines - just remember to comply with the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the filter housing.
