Abstract
An apparatus for separating entrained solids and particularly paramagnetic filing entrained in a liquid, including a vessel with a fluid inlet and outlet, a center tube supported within the vessel over the fluid outlet, a plurality of magnetic discs received in spaced orientation on the center tube and a plurality of paramagnetic discs, each paramagnetic disc being positioned between adjacent magnetic discs and a barrier filter tube positioned around the discs, the top and bottom of the tube being closed so that all fluid flowing into the vessel flows radially through the filter tube, the magnetic and paramagnetic discs causing the formation of radially extending flux lines throughout the filter tube so that iron filings collect and orient radially on the exterior of the filter tube.
