Tramp Metal Removed from Reclaimed Kaolin
A major UK mineral processing company has installed two large Bullet Magnets to remove tramp ferrous metal from dry reclaimed kaolin. After initial discussions, Bunting conducted controlled tests in the Redditch Centre-of-Excellence. The reclaimed kaolin had a broad particle size range, with 95% below 250 microns. Iron contamination was approximately 1000ppm (although it could peak…
Read More3 Overband Magnet Installation Problems
The Permanent Overband Magnet is one of the most commonly used magnetic separators. Overband Magnets are found in most recycling plants recovering steel cans and other ferrous metals from a wide range of waste materials as well as in quarries (protecting crushers & screens) and on mobile plant (screens and crushers). However, incorrect installation leads…

Read MoreMaximising Non-Ferrous Metal Separation
There is an ever-growing demand to maximise the recovery or removal of metal from waste, especially non-ferrous. The economic viability of many recycling plants is based upon their ability to successfully recover valuable metals such as aluminium. In operations processing waste plastics, successful recycling is not possible without removing the ferrous and non-ferrous metal contamination. …
