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…
Read MoreBunting Develops High-Intensity Electromagnetic Wet Filter
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 MoreNecessity of Cleaning Magnetic Separators
When on site, our Technical Sales Engineers often take opportunity to check the installed magnetic separators. At many sites, this results in a conversation about the required cleaning frequency for a permanent magnetic separator such as a Drawer Filter Magnet, Plate Magnet, or Liquid Magnetic Separator. This is when captured ferrous metal is manually removed…
Read MoreElectro Suspension Magnet Preference for Compost Supplier
A leading UK compost supplier has replaced two permanent suspension magnets with Bunting’s electro suspension magnets. The additional power of electro suspension magnets enables enhanced separation of small ferrous metals such as nails. The supplier of compost assessed methods to improve the level of ferrous metal separation for two separate process lines. Previously installed were…
Read MoreNew FF Drawer Filter Magnet
Following a customer-driven redesign, Bunting’s new FF Series Drawer Filter Magnet is easily fitted into an extended range of granulators, injection moulding machines and other plastics manufacturing and processing plant, eliminating the need for customisation. Drawer Filter Magnets use powerful Neodymium tube magnets, arranged in a grid, to capture and extract ferrous particles from dry,…
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 MoreATEX 22 Rated Electro Overband Magnets
The latest ATEX 22 rated Electro Overband Magnet, designed and built by Bunting, is destined for installation in a UK biomass plant. The nature of the waste wood means that the storage and transportation areas within the plant are classified as ATEX Zone 22, where an atmosphere of air and flammable substances, in the form…
Read MoreCleaning Recycled Plastic with Bunting Inline Magnets
A manufacturer of window frame bodies is using Bunting’s Pneumatic Inline Magnets (PIMs) to cleanse recycled plastic flake of ferrous metal contamination. In production, each window frame uses up to 40% recycled plastic. Inline Magnets are versatile and cost-effective magnetic separators that connect into both gravity-fed and pneumatic pipelines. With a plate magnet fitted on…
Read MoreKen Mills Engineering Installs Bunting Metal Separators
The Neath Port Talbot materials recycling facility (MRF) in South Wales, UK was designed and installed by Ken Mills Engineering (KME). The plant includes metal separation equipment designed and built by Bunting including a Permanent Overband Magnet and Eddy Current Separator. Ken Mills Engineering (KME) is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of MRF systems,…
