Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for removing metallic foreign matter from a fluororesin and a method for producing a fluororesin with reduced metallic foreign matter, which methods include applying a magnetic field to a fluororesin with a magnet while dropping the fluororesin by gravity to thereby remove metal, wherein the methods provide a screen made of a magnetic material in a flow path of the fluororesin dropped by gravity, and when the fluororesin passes through the screen, the screen is not vibrated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for removing metallic foreign matter from a fluororesin, the method comprising: applying a magnetic field to a fluororesin containing the metallic foreign matter with a magnet while dropping the fluororesin by gravity to thereby remove metal, wherein the method provides a screen made of a magnetic material in a flow path of the fluororesin dropped by gravity, the fluororesin is dropped from a position above the screen in a vertical direction and travels toward the screen by gravity, the metallic foreign matter becomes magnetically attached to the screen, and the fluororesin from which the metallic foreign matter has been removed passes through the screen and is discharged from a position below the screen in the vertical direction, and when the fluororesin passes through the screen, the screen is not vibrated. 2. The method for removing metallic foreign matter from a fluororesin according to claim 1 , wherein the magnet is an electromagnet. 3. The method for removing metallic foreign matter from a fluororesin according to claim 1 , wherein the fluororesin is a powder, a pellet, or a granulated product. 4. A method for producing a fluororesin with reduced metallic foreign matter, comprising a step of applying a magnetic field to a fluororesin with a magnet while dropping the fluororesin by gravity to thereby remove metal, wherein the method provides a screen made of a magnetic material in a flow path of the fluororesin dropped by gravity, the fluororesin is dropped from a position above the screen in a vertical direction and travels toward the screen by gravity, the metallic foreign matter becomes magnetically attached to the screen, and the fluororesin from which the metallic foreign matter has been removed passes through the screen and is discharged from a position below the screen in the vertical direction, and when the fluororesin passes through the screen, the screen is not vibrated. 5. The method for producing a fluororesin according to claim 4 , wherein the magnet is an electromagnet. 6. The method for producing a fluororesin according to claim 4 , wherein the fluororesin is a powder, a pellet, or a granulated product.
