Modified ToughFlex® Belt for Overband Magnets
Bunting has joined forces with Smiley Monroe to modify a ToughFlex® belt for Overband Magnets. The new belt is more resistant to excessive wear in arduous working conditions. Overband Magnets have a permanent or electromagnetic block mounted between two pulleys over which continuously runs a cleaning belt. In operation, the Overband Magnet is suspended over…

Bunting has developed a new Electromagnetic Wet Filter with an ultra-high-intensity, background magnetic field (from 3,500 up to 10,000 Gauss). The magnetic separation technology separates fine iron and paramagnetic minerals from liquids and slurries and is used in the ceramics, mineral processing, and recycling industries, as well as cleaning wastewater in steel production and power…
Read MoreAtherton Material Handling Installs Bunting Suspension Electro Magnet
Atherton Material Handling has installed a Bunting Suspension Electro Magnet at a calcium carbonate quarry in Melton, UK. The Suspension Electro Magnet removes tramp ferrous metal prior to a metal detector, reducing the number of metal detection trips and increasing productivity. Atherton Material Handling originally contacted Bunting to find a solution to the problem of…
Read MoreSingle, Twin and Tri Pole Overband Magnet Development
Bunting has developed three designs of Permanent Crossbelt Overband Magnet (PCB), with different magnetic polarity, to suit an ever-expanding range of applications. Overband Magnets are mounted over conveyors to separate ferrous metal from non-magnetic material and are commonly used in industries including mining, quarrying, recycling, and wood. The magnetic field of a Permanent Crossbelt Overband…
Read MoreMagnetic Metal Free Areas under Overband Magnets
A common question asked when a client is installing an Overband Magnet or Suspension Magnet is whether the conveyor idlers, frame and housing could become magnetically induced. When installed suspended above a conveyor, the Overband Magnet and Suspension Magnet work by projecting a magnetic field down and through material transported on a conveyor. This magnetic…
Read MoreBenefits of the Overband Magnet Armoured Belt
The highest wear part on an Overband Magnet is the belt that transfers the separated metal away from the conveyor and into a collection area. In order to reduce such wear, Bunting developed a special lightweight armouring for the rubber belt. The Overband Magnet Armoured Belt is in operation in recycling, mining, quarrying and bulk…
