The two-day conference brings together professionals from the global mining and mineral processing community. Valuable Mineral Processing Experience At the conference, Michael is joined…
Read MoreThree ElectroStatic Separators for Universities
Research into the separation and recovery of fine metals from waste materials, such as batteries and electronics, is driving a growth in orders for Bunting’s laboratory-scale ElectroStatic Separators. In May 2025, Bunting Magnetics completed the manufacture of three laboratory-scale ElectroStatic Separators destined for research bodies in the UK, Finland and Morocco. An ElectroStatic Separator exploits…
Read MoreYoung British Metal Recyclers Tour Bunting’s Customer Experience Centre
The Young British Metal Recyclers (YRMR) were shown the latest in metal separation technology during the tour of Bunting’s Customer Experience Centre in Redditch, UK. During the tour, Bunting’s applications team demonstrated a range of metal separation technology, including the Eddy Current Separator, ElectroStatic Separator, and Stainless Steel Separators. The YBMR is an important part…
Read MoreElectroStatic Separators Destined for Australia
Bunting Magnetics has designed and built two ElectroStatic Separators for a metal recovery company based in Australia. The metal separation technology will recover precious metals from shredded printed circuit boards. The electrostatic separator provides the only known method of removing or recovering metals from certain recycled materials. Separation occurs by inducing an electrostatic charge into…

Bunting Magnetics has supplied a powerful EMAX Overband Magnet to Western Bio-Energy to remove problematic ferrous metal from woodchip. The air-cooled electromagnetic Overband Magnet is removing a wide range of small and larger sized tramp metal. Western Bio-Energy Ltd operates a sustainably resourced 15.8MWh Biomass Power Plant exporting electricity to the grid and is based…
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. …
Read MoreChocolate Safety with Liquid Magnetic Separators
A UK chocolate conche manufacturer has purchased five (5) Bunting Liquid Magnetic Separators to capture ferrous metal contamination generated during the chocolate manufacturing process. Conching is a key part of chocolate making involving the continuous mixing, grinding, and kneading of chocolate mass over a prolonged period. The conche is a machine specifically designed for the…
Read MoreSolving Quarrying and Mining Tramp Metal Problems
Tramp metal exists in all mining and quarrying operations. The problematic contamination is difficult to avoid. The nature of mining and quarrying – extracting ore and aggregate using large heavy equipment – results in a wide variety of tramp metal contaminating the mined material. Such metal needs identifying and removing before potentially causing costly damage…
