A separator with a continuously rotating magnetic drum which is partially disposed in a liquid flow path to attract and thereby separate magnetic particles from liquid delivered to the flow path. The separator includes an inclined scraper blade which removes the magnetic particles from the drum. The magnetic field of the drum penetrates the inclined scraper blade causing particles to build up on the blade, thereby allowing coolant which was carried with the particles on the drum to drain back to the flow path. A pushing force caused by particles subsequently delivered to the scraper blade by the rotating drum shoves the buildup of particles past the magnetic field acting on the scraper blade and down a discharge chute into a waste container. A magnetic shunt bar which is located in the rotating drum periodically interrupts the magnetic field acting on the scraper blade so that under conditions where the pushing force of the particles is diminished, the diminished pushing force is sufficient to shove the buildup of particles past the magnetic field and towards the discharge chute.
