Hi everybody, this is my first post, and I'm sorry for not introducing myself properly, but i have a question. 

Regarding !!SCIENCE!!

I'm looking for a structure/construction/thingy that stops flying objects, like the fallout from a room full of 10xblade traps, but also allows vertical fluid flow, so that the room can be pressure flooded with magma, to remove the impurities diced goblins from my goblinite. I don't want my blade traps to fling the precious metal into the magma pool.

Any suggestions?  If I get nothing, i'll just have to lose the mincing stage from the trap ore processor.

first dice your goblins, then open the hatches to release the magma.

But what happens to objects on the hatch cover as it's opened, are they flung across the room, drop straight down, or vanish DAS style?

Floor grates or floor bars?
My designs are usually the room that is filled with magma from above, with drainages at the walls where the magma fpours when it's done. THe hole is blocked with raising bridge, to hid it from trolls. Like this

After you drain the magma, most of goblinite is collected at the grate tile.

They drop straight down. Retracting bridges, on the other hand, fling objects around before they drop.
