Read MoreMetal Removed from Plastic Regrind
The combination of a magnetic separator and metal detector is removing rogue metal contamination from recycled plastic regrind before the material is mixed into other raw materials used for the manufacture of plastic products including handles and hinges. At the plant, waste generated from plastics injection moulders and in the manufacturing process is reground for…
Read MoreBunting Develops High-Intensity Electromagnetic Dry Filter
Bunting has developed a new Electromagnetic Dry Filter to remove free fine iron from powders. The high-intensity magnetic separator generates ultra-strong magnetic fields to capture ferrous particles present in difficult-to-process fine materials. The new technology enhances magnetic separation in a diverse range of applications found in mineral processing, chemical and pharmaceutical production, ceramics, and recycling.…
Read MoreMagnetic Separation in Mining and Mineral Processing
Magnetic separators are commonplace in most mining and mineral processing operations. However, the term ‘magnetic separator’ encompasses a diverse range of specialist separation equipment with the ability to separate widely different materials such as large tramp metal and paramagnetic minerals. Magnetic separators for the mining and mineral processing sectors are broadly differentiated into two ranges. …
