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 More6-Year-Old Electro Overband Magnet Refurbishment
Repair and refurbishment convert a well-used, functional magnetic separator into almost new, further extending the life of the equipment. One of Bunting’s latest repair and refurbishment projects involved a 6-year-old Electro Overband Magnet. The oil-cooled Electro Overband Magnet model 155 OCW 45 CB separates tramp ferrous metal from biomass pellets in a bulk handling terminal…
Read MorePermanent or Electro Overband Magnet Selection
The Overband Magnet is one of the most commonly used magnetic separators. Different designs are used in nearly all process industries and especially in mining, quarrying, recycling, and bulk handling applications. In operation, an Overband Magnet (or Suspension Magnet) sits above a conveyor carrying material. As the material passes under the magnet, ferrous metal is…
Read MoreStronger ElectroMax-Plus Overband Magnet
The design objective of creating a more compact and powerful electromagnetic Overband Magnet led the Bunting engineering team to develop the ElectroMax-Plus. Electro Overband Magnets Electromagnetic Overband Magnets use an oil-cooled or air-cooled wire coil to generate a deep and strong magnetic field. The electromagnetic force radiates from a coil wound around a steel core…
