Battery Recycling Focus at International Congress
The 24th International Congress for Battery Recycling (ICBR 2019) takes place in Lyon, France (September 18-20 2019). With metal separation being a key stage in the battery recycling process, Bunting is attending and exhibiting at the congress (booth 12). ICBR is the international platform for presenting the latest developments and discussing the challenges faced by…
Read MoreFocus on Metal Recovery at RWM 2019
The focus on the Bunting stand at RWM 2019 (11 & 12 September, NEC, Birmingham, UK) is recovering and separating metals from secondary ‘waste’ materials. Working production-sized metal separators separating metals are on display on stand P1, right by the entrance to the show. Recycling has never had a higher profile. The ongoing backlash against single-use…
Read MoreEddy Current Separator Health Check
A ‘Health Check’ is defined as ‘an examination to determine whether a person or animal is suffering from illness or injury’, but we also apply it to the Eddy Current Separator. In many recycling operations, the Eddy Current Separator is a vital part of the process. The aluminium and non-ferrous metals recovered on the Eddy…
Read MoreNew XRF Enhances Mineral Testing Capabilities
The purchase of a new X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyser enhances the mineral testing capabilities of the Bunting test laboratory based at the manufacturing facility in Redditch, UK. Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science, based in Abingdon, UK, supplied the X-MET8000 Expert XRF analyser and provided comprehensive training for the technical staff at Bunting. The Science of X-Ray…
Read MoreTechnology Drives Aluminium Recycling Success
The simple Aluminium Can is a perfect example of successful waste and recycling management. In 2020, the recycling rate for aluminium beverage cans in the European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland stood at 72%. This is up from 54% in 2010, although down from 75% in 2019. However, a 9% growth in consumption…

Master Magnets ElectroMax Overband Magnet at Bauma Master Magnets is launching a new low-profile Electro Overband Magnet called the ‘ElectroMax’ at Bauma 2019 (Munich, Germany 8-14 April, 2019 – Stand 133 in Hall B2). The ElectroMax range is 185% stronger than equivalent Permanent Overband Magnets and also 25% lighter. The development in response to customer’s…
Read MoreMetal Recovery from Incinerator Bottom Ash
Burning any sort of waste produces an ash by-product often called ‘incinerator bottom ash’ or ‘furnace ash’. Commonly, this ash contains a high proportion of recoverable metal. This mix of ferrous and non-ferrous metal is recovered using Magnetic Separators and Eddy Current Separators. Ferrous Metal Recovery For one of our latest projects, we undertook extensive…
