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 More120 ElectroMax Overbands Sold in Five Years
April 2024 marks five years since the launch of the ElectroMax Overband Magnet and, in that period, Bunting has built and shipped 120 units for a value exceeding £3 million. The ElectroMax Overband Magnets provide the enhanced separation of ferrous metal from conveyed material in recycling plants, mines, and quarries, bulk handling terminals, and power…
Read MoreBoosted Metal Separation with ElectroMax-Plus Overbands at W Maw
General skip waste recycler W Maw Recycling Ltd has installed two Bunting ElectroMax-Plus Overband Magnets at their Rotherham operation in the United Kingdom. The powerful electromagnetic ElectroMax-Plus Overbands replaced permanent overband magnets to separate larger and heavier ferrous metal that could damage shredders and other process plant. Replacing Permanent Overband Magnets with the ElectroMax W…
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 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…

Read MoreSeparation Challenges of Recycling PET for Plastic Bottles
Article first published by Powder and Bulk Solids (August 2023) Raw material shortages are increasing, and as consumption rises, the gap grows wider. It took a pandemic to open the eyes of most producers as to how fragile the supply chain is. Yet, many powder and bulk operations could do more to alleviate the shortage…
Read MoreVital Metal Recovery from Household Waste
Article first published in Skip & Waste (October 2023) Metal recovery and recycling from waste is not new, with evidence of such activity in Roman times. In modern recycling plants, metal recovery provides a vital financial lifeline. Bunting assists waste management companies in maximising metal recovery whilst maintaining high purity levels. Ferrous Metal Recovery The…
