MAGNETS

Metals can be a huge problem to any manufacturing facility, creating production problems, destruction to machinery, affecting product purity.  In addition tramp metals can be a safety hazard to workers and to consumers of products.

Bunting Magnetics provides the best available equipment to detect and remove ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We assist all industries to protect equipment and personnel as well as keep products pure.

PLATES, CARTRIDGES, GRATES, WEDGES

Plate magnets are available in flat or in stepface configurations which are designed to capture metal and prevent material 'wash-off'.

Cartridges are single round or square bar magnets which can be mounted in strategic locations to capture entrained trap metal.

Grate magnets consist of multiple round or square bars. Options include baffle plates which are designed to slow material down and increase exposure to magnetic surfaces for greater capture.

Wedge magnets are mounted inside a chute or at a discharge area in such a way that metal is captured and held securelyas material cascades over the wedge.

DRAWER MAGNETS

Drawer magnets are fitted with rows of cartridges. These can be single or multiple layer to increase the ability to capture tramp metal. Release of capture metal is accomplished by withdrawing the rows of cartridges sideways through wiper sleeves. This can be manual or automated with the addition of a pneumatic actuator.

MAGNETIC HEAD PULLEYS

Magnetic head pulleys are effective in removing tramp metal especially if it is located close to the conveyor belt. In addition as material spreads out on discharge it is likely to be attracted to the magnetic pulley. Magnetic rails can be added to carry tramp metal backwards underneath the conveyor to a more convenient or strategic discharge location into a chute or bin below.

CROSSBELT MAGNETIC SEPARATORS

Crossbelt magnetic separators provide a method of attracting unwanted metal and conveying it to one side of the conveyor into a chute or bin.  We offer permanent magnet and electromagnetic options.  The advantage of an electromagnet is that it can be instantly turned on or off.  In addition our Bunting ElectroMax are air-cooled.  This provides greater strength, lighter weight and no risk to the environment compared to oil cooled version.

HUMP MAGNETS

Hump magnets provide the opportunity to capture unwanted metal which is sliding down the wall of a chute.  We offer full hump and half hump magnets. Full hump magnets allow two surfaces of the product to be exposed to a magnet whereas a half hump exposes only one side of the material to the magnet for capture and removal. Options exist to release the magnet from the chute wall by use of a handle or actuator. The metal capture can be diverted to a bin or chute below.

LIQUID MAGNETIC SEPARATORS

Liquid magnetic separators expose unwanted metal to magnetic cartridges inside a hollow chamber. These are installed inline with process and transfer pipes.  Magnets are easily removed and cleaned periodically. Options include drains and heating jackets.
