I did see that the material got trapped only at the outline of the magnet I 
have. I wonder how having a "blanket" covering the whole filter works.

Maybe you could stick a piece of the magnetic material on a piece of sheet 
metal and pour some filings on the other side of the sheet metal to verify how 
it works? Many small magnets may be better than one large.
