Keeping Ceramic Sanitaryware Iron Free
Sanitaryware is a commonly used term in the ceramics industry referring to sanitary appliances found in toilets and bathrooms. Traditionally, bathroom bowls, cisterns, bidets, urinals and washbasins are made from porcelain (a ceramic material made from clay that might be described as ‘vitreous china’ when coated with enamel). This might be referred to as ceramic,…
Read MoreIron Separation Technology at Ceramics UK Show
Successfully removing fine iron from ceramic slips and glazes is vitally important in any ceramics plant. Such iron contamination is removed using high intensity magnetic separators like those on display on the Bunting and Master Magnets stand 1517 at the Ceramics UK show (10-11 July 2019, Telford, United Kingdom). Iron contamination causes surface defects (black…
Read MoreRare Earth Roll or Induced Magnetic Roll
Comparing Two High Intensity Magnetic Separators High intensity magnetic separators remove ferro and para magnetic particles from dry non-metallic minerals. However, the design of the separation system dictates the final product purity and product losses. The two most common designs of dry high intensity magnetic separator are the Induced Roll (IMR) and the Rare Earth…
Read MoreTechnical Explanation of Rare Earth Roll Separator
The Rare Earth Roll Separator is one of the world’s most popular permanent magnetic separators used by mineral processors to separate paramagnetic minerals from dry materials. The Rare Earth Roll Separator is simple to install and use, whilst being exceptionally energy-efficient. The high-intensity magnetic strength enables the separation of very weakly magnetic minerals such as mica…
Read MoreMineral Processing Lab High Intensity Electromagnetic Filter
A high intensity Electromagnetic Filter has expanded the mineral testing capabilities in the Bunting-Redditch mineral processing laboratory. The Electromagnetic Filter is designed to remove fine iron and weakly magnetic materials from mineral slurries and ceramics slips and glazes. The new equipment expands the extensive range of high intensity magnetic separators already used in the test…

A Look Back at our News & Blogs in 2018 2018 proved to be another exciting year. Despite the spectre of BREXIT, business overseas continued to flourish and grow. We attended a number of international exhibitions, securing orders on the stand. There have also been concerns on the UK mainland about waste management and especially…
Read MoreMagnetic Separators For Mineral Processing
Magnetic separators can be found in most mineral processing operations, especially those processing non-metallic minerals and magnetic ores. This article investigates the use of high intensity magnetic separators and magnetic separation equipment in the minerals sector with a focus on processing dry materials (in the -15mm, +45 micron size range). Principles of Magnetic Separators There…
Read MoreVideo Explanation of the Induced Magnetic Roll Separator IMR
The Induced Magnetic Roll Separator (IMR) has been used in the non-metallic mineral industry for decades. However, the popularity of this high intensity magnetic separator dwindled after the development of the Rare Earth (RE) Roll Magnetic Separator in the late 70s early 80s. Whereas the magnetic forces in an IMR were electromagnetically generated, high intensity…
