The GN Ditch Magnet is a junk retrieval tool designed to remove metal particles from drilling mud. The Ditch Magnet Removing metal particles from the drilling mud that the shale shaker will not get. This unit will capture all metals having magnetic attraction and hold them until they can be removed from the mud stream. The Magnet is particularly valuable during milling operations. Removal of mill cuttings and debris reduces wear of mud pumps and other equipment, as well as eliminating problems caused by the return downhole of harmful debris. They are equally effective during washover and fishing jobs.
Construction of GN Ditch Magnet
Ditch magnet consists of a main body and a fixed support which are all made of stainless steel. The main body is composed of two layers, both top and bottom surfaces of each layer can adsorb scrap iron. The main body is made of imported magnet with the highest absorbability, which feathers high absorbability, large adsorption area and long service life. The installation method is: hang the fixed supports at the two sides of the ditch magnet to the mud with four 800 mm stainless steel chains.

Other Brand Ditch Magnet
Bowen Ditch Magnet Construction:
The Bowen Ditch Magnet features simplicity, ruggedness and high power-to-weight ratio. The 36-inch long Magnet weighs only 90 pounds and will hold in suspension as much as half this weight of mill cuttings. The design is clean; eliminating trays, gates and other auxiliary equipment. The magnet is encased in stainless steel and has integral handles at each end for lifting.
Bowen Ditch Magnet Operation:
No special instructions are required to operate the Bowen Ditch Magnet. It is most effective when suspended by soft line in the mud ditch. It may also be suspended by soft line in the shaker discharge. The unit should be cleaned several times per day, depending on milling rate. Just remove the Magnet and clean with fresh or salt water hose. Wipe all cuttings from the unit and return it to duty. The unit may be cleaned less often during other operations when return cuttings come slower.
