Overband Magnet Extended by 56%
A challenging installation on mobile recycling plant led to Bunting designing and building a Permanent Overband Magnet with a magnet block over 56% longer than normal. The model PIL Overband Magnet was extended from the standard length of 1100mm to 1725mm. Permanent Overband Magnets are suspended over conveyor belts transporting material to separate ferrous metals,…

Read MoreEnhanced Metal Recovery with Bunting at IFAT 2024
Technology to effectively separate large and small ferrous and non-ferrous metal is the focus for Bunting at IFAT Munich 2024 (Messe Munchen, Germany, May 13-17). Advanced designs of magnetic separators, eddy current separators and electrostatic separators separate strongly and weakly magnetic particles, enabling the successful recycling of a wide range of waste materials. On stand…
Read MoreMBA Polymers Install Quick Clean Drawer Magnet
MBA Polymers has installed a new quick manual-clean magnet insert into one of their existing Drawer Filter Magnets installed at their Worksop plastics recycling operation in the United Kingdom. The new insert significantly reduces the time needed to clean captured ferrous metal off the high-strength tube magnets, whilst also proving easier and safer for operators.…
Read MoreLaboratory High-Intensity Magnetic Separator for Battery Recycling Research
A European mining and technology university has purchased a laboratory-scale Bench Induced Roll Magnetic Separator (BIRS) for use in research projects including the recycling of lithium-ion batteries. The BIRS generates high-intensity magnetic fields up to 2 Tesla (20,000 Gauss), enabling the separation of weakly magnetic particles. The Induced Roll Magnetic Separator (IRS) The Induced Roll…
Read MorePermanent Overband Magnet Selection Criteria
Permanent Overband Magnets are commonplace in most mines and quarries, removing tramp ferrous metal and protecting crushers, screens and conveyors against damage. Overband Magnets are also widely used in recycling, recovering ferrous metals and protecting shredders against metal damage. However, there are many different designs of Permanent Overband Magnet, developed to suit specific applications. Understanding…
