Wire Wrapped Drum Magnet Benefits
Robust and with a high-intensity magnetic field: the Wire Wrapped Drum Magnet bridges the gap between standard Neodymium Rare Earth Drum Magnets and magnetically powerful Rare Earth Roll Magnetic Separators. Drum Magnet Technology A permanent Drum Magnet features a stationary magnetic element mounted inside a rotating non-magnetic shell. In operation, the magnetic element projects a…
Read MoreGetting Metal Out of Beer
Thankfully, it is very unlikely that you will ever find a piece of metal in your glass of beer. However, when tramp metal (in the form of screws, nails, broken process plant, etc.) is accidentally introduced during the brewing process, it damages processing equipment and can even affect the taste of the beer. In this…
Read More6 Mobile Metal Separators Sold in 3 Months
Following a surge in orders for their mobile metal separator, Steelweld Enviro Products Ltd and CRJ Services have ordered six (6) Bunting Eddy Current Separators and Rare Earth Drum Magnets in the first quarter of 2021. The Eddy Current Separators separate non-ferrous metals from non-metallic material with the Rare Earth Drum Magnets recovering magnetic materials.…
Read More82% UK Aluminium Can 2020 Recycling Rate
With a 6% rise on 2019, the recycling rate for aluminium beverage cans in the UK reached a record high of 82% in 2020 (Alupro – April 2021). According to Environment Agency (EA) published Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs), 151,515 tonnes of aluminium packaging was collected and recycled, up 31% from 115,808 tonnes in 2019. This…
Read MoreTwo Magnetic Disc Separators Process Coltan
A Nigerian mineral processor is installing two (2) Magnetic Disc Separators (MDS) to separate individual minerals in a Coltan plant. This latest export project reflects Bunting’s position as a recognised global leader for the design, manufacture, and supply of high-intensity magnetic separators for mineral processing. Technical product information: Magnetic Disc Separator Magnetic Disc Separators The…
Read MoreRare Earth Roll Separator for University of Birmingham
The University of Birmingham has purchased a laboratory-scale Rare Earth Roll Separator for their School of Metallurgy and Minerals lithium-ion battery recycling research facility. The high-intensity magnetic separator enables the separation of very weakly magnetic particles. Battery Recycling Research The Faraday Institution is funding the ReLiB (Recycling and Reuse of Li-ion Batteries) project researching the…
Read MoreThe Crusher’s Arch Enemy – Tramp Metal
Crushing quarried aggregate is a key process stage of most quarries and when recycling demolition waste. Effectively protecting the crusher from rogue tramp metal damage prevents production losses and repair costs. The wide range of available crushing technology enables the production of optimally sized aggregate. Whereas Jaw and Gyratory designs commonly feature as primary crushers,…
Read MoreElectromagnetic Filters for Ceramics
Since the first ceramics were produced, iron and iron-bearing minerals have caused defects. The problematic minerals occur naturally in the raw materials, with additional fine iron accidentally introduced during transportation, storage or processing. Effective removal often involves several stages of magnetic separation. However, the introduction of High-Intensity Electromagnetic Filters proved ground-breaking in terms of removing…
Read MoreRecycling Growth Dependent on Technology
Annual events such as the UK’s Recycling Week, the Global Recycling Day and Earth Day provide the perfect platform for reflection and planning. Successful and extensive recycling reduces the pressure on the planet’s finite resources, whilst also providing desperately needed environmental protection. Many experts predict that the failure to radically change the way waste is…
Read MoreGetting Metal Out of Pet Food
Ensuring Pet Food is metal free before it reaches the consumer is critical. However, reports of foods being recalled due to metal contamination occur several times each year. To assist processors and producers, Bunting has developed a series of typical plant flowsheets showing proposed locations for Magnetic Separators and Metal Detectors including a typical Pet Food Processing Plant.…
