Caleffi Magnetic Mud Separator Ring

Description

I created an adapter ring to be able to mount 10 neodymium magnets on the Caleffi DIRTMAG® series 5453 magnetic filter strainer instead of the original 2. This greatly increased the ability to retain ferrous impurities present in the system. I created this ring to avoid having to replace the entire body with a different model, and make the existing filter much more efficient.

Necessary materials

Of course, the Caleffi DIRTMAG® series 5453 magnetic filter

Pz8 first4magnets F25104-4 - Neodymium magnet N42, 25 x 10 x 4 mm, magnetic force: 5.4 kg (2 are the magnets of the old ring

Pz4 brass threaded sockets M3

Pz4 countersunk hex screws M3x10 stainless steel

Assembly

Assembly is very simple because you just need to insert 10 magnets into their respective seats respecting the N-S polarities so that they do not repel each other (2 magnets can be recovered from the original ring). There is also a hole to be able to pull them out if they are inserted upside down in the housing. In the larger holes, the threaded sockets must be inserted using a soldering station. The whole thing is then screwed together by putting the two shells on the filter in place of the original ring.
