New ElectroStatic Separator
The launch of the new Bunting ElectroStatic Separator is in response to enhanced material separation requirements in the recycling, plastics and minerals industries. The ElectroStatic Separator uses tungsten electrode wire to generate electrostatic charges to separate dry liberated particles. The new technology significantly broadens separation capabilities, opening up new opportunities for recovering materials from waste…
Read MoreSeparating Fine Iron from Powders
Effectively separating fine iron from dry powders is often challenging. Even the strongest magnetic separator may fail to successfully remove the magnetic particles. In order to find a successful solution, it is important to understand the way fine materials behave. Only then is it possible to determine the optimum method to cleanse a powder of…
Read MoreTwo New Overband Magnet Models
Bunting has added two new models to their popular and highly successful range of Permanent Overband Magnets. The two new designs – the PCB-C (Compact) and QBC (Quick Belt Change) – meet specific requirements of reduced maintenance time and lighter weights. These models expand the Overband range, which also includes the classic PCB model. The…
Read MoreA Great Recycling History
There has never been a greater focus on recycling and reusing waste materials. Many experts claim that our waste problem is related to the modern ‘throw-away’ society. Convenience, aligned to our busy lifestyle, has driven up the need for quicker and easily-accessible goods. However, we have an incredible recycling history. Much can be learnt from…
Read MoreHigh Intensity Magnetic Separator Optimises Copper Recycling
Around 50% of copper used in Europe is obtained from recycling rather than newly mined ore (International Copper Study Group – ICSG). Indeed, copper is widely regarded as one of most recycled engineering metals with much of the world’s globally mined copper, some 0.32 trillion kilogrammes, still in circulation. In a typical home there is…
Read MoreMetal Recovery from Electric Vehicles
Click here to see our solutions for metal recovery from Electric Vehicles Mining the Urban Environment The anticipated global increase in production and consumption of electronic goods and electric vehicles puts a huge strain on raw material reserves. Subsequently, the focus has turned from mining raw materials to reclaiming, reusing and recycling secondary materials. This…
Read More6 Inline Magnets for Plastics Producer
Six (6) Inline Magnetic Separators (PIMS) are due to be installed in a UK plastic production facility. The project originated from a discussion at the Interplas exhibition in 2017. The Inline Magnetic Separator offers great versatility with ease of installation and maintenance. Inside the tube-like body is a strong Plate Magnet. This ensures that there is no restriction to…
Read MoreMetal Removal when Recycling Rubber Tyres
Successfully removing metal from rubber (originating from the metal wire in a tyre) when recycling tyres is critical, especially as rogue metal can cause injury to horses and children who run and play on the recovered rubber crumb. Although each tyre recycling plant is different, here is a guide to the common types and location…
