Trade-In Upgrade Program

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.

What is the IMI Trade-In and Upgrade Program? 

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!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Our 52-55 MGOe rare earth magnet circuit is 15 times stronger than your current ceramic one. This means it grabs even the weakest magnetic contaminants like powders and shavings, plus larger ferrous metals, better protecting your equipment and products.
  • If your IMI Drawer-In-Housing magnet has a rare earth circuit and was made before 2003, its maximum energy rating is 43 MGOe. That's much weaker than the current 52-55 MGOe. If it's not an IMI product, its energy rating is likely even lower, around 35-38 MGOe, making it less reliable for capturing contaminants.
  • Easier magnet cleaning translates to a quicker return on investment, extended magnet life, and superior performance compared to older methods. Our Pneumatic Line Housing (PLH) Self-Clean simplifies ferrous metal removal. For hard-to-access areas or automated lines, the Self-Clean Drawer-In-Housing option is ideal.
  • Get 100% value for your used IMI manual clean Drawer-In-Housing, IMI ceramic Bullet®, orEP Tubemagnet when you upgrade. It's like trading in your old car and getting full credit, plus keeping it!
  • 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.
