Stainless Steel Separator
Magnetic Separator Air-Gap Explained
The ‘Air Gap’ plays a key role in the performance of a Magnetic Separator. In all magnetic separators, there is a gap between the magnet material or electromagnetic coil and the targeted particle. This ‘air-gap’ could be actual air or a non-metallic material such as stainless-steel or a rubber belt. When assessing an application, our…
Read MoreAdvanced Metal Separation at E-Waste World
The separation and recovery of fine and small metal is vital for the successful recycling of e-waste. On stand 314 at the E-Waste World Conference & Expo (30 November – 1 December 2021, Frankfurt Messe, Germany), Bunting is showcasing advanced metal separation technology specifically used in the recycling of electronics. Metal Recovery from WEEE Reclaiming…
Read MoreBunting Exhibiting at Ecomondo
With the Ecomondo Green Technology Expo encompassing the circular economy, the Bunting stand (hall A2 stand 007) focuses on material and metal recycling through separation to neodymium magnet recovery. Bunting is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of magnetic separators for the recycling and waste industries. The group also provides magnet and magnetic…
Read MoreElectroStatically Cleaning Plastic Waste
With the ever-increasing amount of plastic waste collected for recycling, the ability to remove effectively contaminants including metal has never been more important. Often, contaminated plastic cannot be processed meaning that landfill or energy-to-waste are the only options. The ElectroStatic Separator significantly expands the range of product recycling possibilities, enabling the removal of very small…
Read MoreTraining Future Metal Recyclers from EMR
Students, on a year’s work placement with European Metal Recycling (EMR), attended a training day at Bunting’s Redditch plant assessing the latest magnetic, eddy current and electrostatic separators. The training illustrated the importance of optimising material separation in the drive towards increasing secondary material recycling rates. EMR is a global leader in sustainable materials, investing…
Read MoreDiscover Metal Separation at RWM 2021
After a year missed due to the pandemic, Bunting is back exhibiting at the RWM show at the NEC in Birmingham, UK (22nd to 23rd September 2021) on stand 5-R10. For the first time, Bunting is showcasing their revolutionary Electrostatic Separator, as well as other advanced technology for metal separation and recovery. ElectroStatic Separator at…
Read MoreRecycling Growth Dependent on Technology
Annual events such as the UK’s Recycling Week, the Global Recycling Day and Earth Day provide the perfect platform for reflection and planning. Successful and extensive recycling reduces the pressure on the planet’s finite resources, whilst also providing desperately needed environmental protection. Many experts predict that the failure to radically change the way waste is…
Read MoreBunting-Redditch 2020 Review
To state that 2020 has been challenging would be an understatement. The global Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way people live their lives, and businesses have had to adapt. Despite the difficulties, there has been plenty of positive news coming out of Bunting-Redditch. Throughout 2020, building work has continued on a major plant and office…
Read MoreTwo SSSC Magnetic Separators Ordered
A UK metal recycling company has ordered two (2) SSSC Magnetic Separators to recover fragmented stainless steel. The order followed initial tests undertaken on site with a Rare Earth Drum Magnet during the Covid-19 lockdown. Once the restrictions had eased, the client travelled down to Redditch for more detailed test work on the SSSC Magnetic…
Read MoreHigh Intensity Magnetic Separator Optimises Copper Recycling
Around 50% of copper used in Europe is obtained from recycling rather than newly mined ore (International Copper Study Group – ICSG). Indeed, copper is widely regarded as one of most recycled engineering metals with much of the world’s globally mined copper, some 0.32 trillion kilogrammes, still in circulation. In a typical home there is…
