A magnetic separator for mixtures of powdered plastic and metal comprises a housing having an inlet, a base plate and side plates. A plurality of vertically spaced staggered rows of laterally spaced pilot tubes span, extend through and are secured to the side plates to define a circuitous material falling path. An upright tube clearance plate is arranged intermediate the side plates and has a corresponding plurality of vertically spaced rows of laterally spaced apertures, oversized with respect to and loosely receiving the tubes defining clearance apertures. The clearance plate defines on one side an upright plastic feed chamber having an outlet in the base plate. An upright wiper plate is arranged between the clearance plate and one side plate having a corresponding series of apertures snugly receiving the tubes and defining with the adjacent side plate an upright metal feed chamber having an outlet. The elongated magnetic assembly is slidably mounted upon and intermittently reciprocal within each tube and is normally positioned within the plastic feed chamber. Falling particles of plastic cascade over the tubes within the plastic feed chamber for delivery through its outlet. Falling metal particles adhere to the tubes and upon intermittent retraction of the magnetic assemblies accumulated metal slides along the tubes through the clearance plate and into the metal feed chamber with the wiper plates stripping the metal, particles from the tubes to fall within the metal feed chamber and through its outlet.
