Industrial Magnetics' Trade-in Upgrade Program lets you trade in your old equipment for a brand-new, industry-leading model. This is a great way to get the latest technology without breaking the bank.

100% Value For Your Used Magnet

Trade-in: Customers have the option of "trading in" non-IMI manufactured equipment while receiving a discount off of the new IMI unit equal to the original amount that was paid for the non-IMI unit.

Upgrade: Customers can upgrade existing Industrial Magnetics, Inc. magnetic separation equipment with the latest IMI magnetic circuit technology at a discount equal to the original purchase price, while keeping the old unit! 

Terms and Conditions: Promotional opportunities listed here are independent and cannot be combined with any other programs that may be offered by Industrial Magnetics, Inc. Call our Tramp Metal Group at 888.582.0821 with your questions.

Qualifying Equipment

DRAWER-IN-HOUSINGS (IMH Series):

TRADE-IN OPTION:

You send us another manufacturer's manual clean, ceramic, or rare earth drawer-in-housing with a valid invoice or proof of payment price for the unit. We will pay for the freight to ship the unit to us.

You will receive a new IMI rare earth self-clean Drawer-In-Housing of the same size (or larger) at the list price minus the amount that you paid for the other manufacturer's manual clean drawer unit.

UPGRADE OPTION:

If you already have an IMI manual clean Drawer-In-Housing (ceramic or rare earth), you can keep it and still receive a new IMI rare earth self-clean Drawer-In-Housing of the same size (or larger) at the list price minus the amount you paid for the original IMI manual clean drawer unit.

PNEUMATIC LINE HOUSING (PLH Series):

TRADE-IN OPTION:

You send us another manufacturer's ceramic Bullet® Style or EP Tube equivalent with a valid invoice or proof of payment price for the unit. We will pay for the freight to ship the unit to us.

You will receive a new IMI rare earth PLH Self-Clean unit of the same line size (or larger) at list price minus the amount that you paid for the other manufacturer's ceramic unit.

UPGRADE OPTION:

If you already have a ceramic Bullet® or EP Tube, you can keep it and still receive an IMI rare earth PLH Self-Clean unit of the same line size (or larger) at list price minus the amount you paid for the original IMI ceramic Bullet® or EP Tube unit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • The holding value of our 52-55 MGOe energy rare earth magnet circuit is 15 times stronger than the current ceramic circuit in your unit. This means our product will capture weakly magnetic contaminants, powders, fines, and shavings in addition to larger ferrous metal to ensure downstream product and equipment is protected.
  • If your IMI Drawer-In-Housing magnet has a rare earth circuit and was manufactured before 2003, it contains a circuit whose MAXIMUM energy rating of 43 MGOe which is much weaker than the current 52-55 MGOe. If it is not an IMI product, then the energy rating is likely somewhere between 35 and 38 MGOe, making it even weaker and less reliable for capturing contaminants.
  • FACT: the easier it is to clean and maintain your magnet means quicker return on investment, increased life expectancy of magnet, and superior performance compared to antiquated cleaning methods. The Pneumatic Line Housing (PLH) Self-Clean makes it much easier to gather and remove ferrous metal contamination; the Self-Clean Drawer-In-Housing option is ideal for hard-to-access areas of a processing plant and facilities geared for automated processing lines.
  • 100% value for your used magnet! Wouldn’t it be great to trade in your automobile and get 100% of what you paid towards another one no matter how old or beat up it might be? Better yet, what if you got to KEEP the old car as well? If you’ve already got an IMI manual clean Drawer-In-Housing, IMI ceramic Bullet®, or EP Tube then that’s exactly what you get to do.
  • Call 888.582.0821 and we will provide you with an RGA # and shipping account # so you can send your product back freight-free.
  • No problem! Use the shipping materials when the IMI product arrives, then return your trade-in product. When we ship your product, you will be invoiced for the full value of the new product. We will then re-invoice minus the trade-in amount when the product and valid invoice or proof of payment price arrive at our facility.
  • We will work with you to find the most accurate and comparable pricing history to accommodate your trade-in. An item ID# or part number tag is a great place to start.
