Bunting Magnetics Co. manufactures an extensive line of both magnetic and electronic separation equipment designed to work individually or in tandem to remove ferrous and nonferrous metal contaminants from mechanical, gravity, or pneumatic conveying systems. Bunting Magnetic Metal Separation Equipment comes in a wide range of models to handle any application and can be ordered to meet specific construction standards. These magnet-based separators are engineered for trouble-free installation and are widely used in the food, dairy, grain, plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical, recycling, and other industries. They use permanent magnets to capture all types of ferrous debris from dry particulates, liquids, and slurries and provide continuous protection against tramp iron with minimal maintenance. Options include Ceramic, Alnico, and Rare Earth permanent magnets plus manual and fully automatic self-cleaning models. The Bunting lineup includes the following separators.
Grate Magnets: Bunting Grate Magnets provide a high-density magnetic field to trap and hold ferrous fines and objects. They are offered in round, square, and rectangular arrays and many sizes for installation inside hoppers, chutes, housings, and bins. Heavy-duty models are specially designed to handle high flow rates.
Liquid Traps for In-Line Contaminant Capture: Designed for easy installation and convenient cleaning, Bunting Liquid Traps are completely self-contained. They come with either plate or cartridge magnets to handle a wide range of liquid-borne ferrous contaminants. Options include sanitary construction and high-temperature models.
Drawer Magnets for Plastics Applications: These compact, ruggedly built Drawer Magnets are designed specifically for use with extruding, injection, and blow molding machines and for other plastics industry applications, such as vacuum drying and loading systems. Options include liquid ports, dump tubes, purge hoppers, the No-Spill™ Slide Gate, special seals, and several self-cleaning configurations. A clear polycarbonate drawer front permits visual monitoring of contaminant collection.
Torpedo Magnets for JIT Loaders: Bunting Torpedo Magnets feature a high-energy Rare Earth Magnetic Cartridge designed to fit inside the glass tubes of Just-In-Time hopper loaders.
HF Drawer Magnets for Enclosed Flow Lines: Pre-engineered for convenient installation, HF Drawers come with multiple trays of staggered magnetic cartridges for increased contact with the product flow.
Plate Magnets for Spouting and Processing Equipment: Plates come in four face designs and nine magnetic strengths to fit a variety of applications in pneumatic or free-flow systems. They mount in ducts, chutes, and other types of enclosed flow lines.
Plate Housing Magnets: Built to mount in spouting or directly on processing equipment, these hinged-door enclosures are designed for coarse, fluffy, and other flow-resistant materials that bridge on grate-type magnets.
In-Line Magnets for Pneumatic or Gravity Systems: Pneumatic, Gravity, and Center-Flow Models remove fines and larger ferrous contaminants from dry particulates with minimal restriction of the product flow. Hinged magnet doors swing away from the housings for external cleaning.
Hump Magnets for High-Volume Flow: Hump Magnets use manually or pneumatically operated plate magnets to remove tramp metal from free-flowing materials in enclosed flow lines. The offset shape directs product flow into the magnetic field and breaks up clumps of material to capture entrapped contaminants.
Suspended Plate Magnets for Open Conveyor Applications: The Suspended Plate's high-density magnetic field snaps up tramp metal from trough or flat-belt conveyors.
Cross-Belt Separators for Continuous Conveyor Cleaning: The Cross-Belt's powerful high-density Ceramic plate magnet creates a large coverage area and pulls tramp metal even from fast-moving conveyors. The cleated belt moves contaminants beyond the magnet's face and outside the magnetic field for continuous self-cleaning action.
Magnetic Head Pulleys: Bunting Magnetic Head Pulleys feature a radial magnet configuration that provides magnetic protection over the entire surface of the pulley. They are designed to replace existing conveyor pulleys at the product discharge end and are often used in recycling operations.
Drum Magnets for Continuous Separation and Cleaning: Bunting Drum Magnets handle continuous separation and cleaning for bulk and granular materials in high-flow, heavy-contamination applications. As material flows onto the stainless steel drum, a stationary magnetic assembly inside the drum holds ferrous particles securely on the surface, while the process material falls freely into the transition spouting. The tramp metal is discharged separately for continuous self-cleaning operation.
