Flowline Magnets
Flowline Magnets
HORSESHOE Flowline Magnets are positioned in a tailor-made frame, which fits the header box or flowline (or both). This provides a complete magnetic barrier across the full width and depth of the fluid path.
Facts
Made of stainless steel with a retractable magnetic piston.
Each magnet weighing only 4 kg.
The kit will be designed to fit into your flowline.
Advantages
Easy to install and retrieve in the flowline or ditch. When collection of swarf is needed each lightweight magnet is pulled one at a time.
When retracting the magnetic piston the demagnetization and stopper plate will make the swarf fall off without touching it.
Benefits
Eliminates or reduces metal in mud pumps.
Scrap the conventional heavy block magnet full of muddy metal swarf having to be lifted and mechanical cleaned.
Reduces risk of finger cuts and back injuries. Crew will not be exposed to mud. No time wasted on cleaning magnets.
Rental
Rigtools can provide rental of Horseshoe Flowline Magnets and brackets.
Standard brackets fit flowline sizes between 40-55 cm width.
A standard bracket can hold 3 Flowline Magnets.
We can custom make brackets to fit the rig's flowline construction, number of magnets on each bracket can also be adjusted.

Statements
A very good and much more simple way to position magnets in flowline. Significant simplification of spoon measurements. Handling the old type was circumstantial. The new ones are much cleaner – no mess. “New type of flowline magnets are very simple to clean. Great functionality. “We all agree the new flowline magnets performs very well !” “Everybody agrees they are easy to use and have a very good effect.” We used them when I was a Roughneck, and it worked like a charm. It was a quantum leap compared to the old, heavy and bulky magnets we used to have.Frank Lyngstad, Safety Officer -- EXXONMOBIL - WEST ALPHA
I still believe the ditch magnets are a great tool, they are one of the best replacements for that task I’ve seen. From the point of installation/use/effectiveness they are quality. They remove so many hazards for that task. Just lifting and cleaning the old block type magnets is a nightmare for anyone doing it. With your design, its done in ten minutes and no manual handling or mess, simple.Ken, Driller Assessor / Senior Toolpusher -- SHELF DRILLING
