Permanent or Electro Overband Magnet Selection
The Overband Magnet is one of the most commonly used magnetic separators. Different designs are used in nearly all process industries and especially in mining, quarrying, recycling, and bulk handling applications. In operation, an Overband Magnet (or Suspension Magnet) sits above a conveyor carrying material. As the material passes under the magnet, ferrous metal is…
Read MoreStronger ElectroMax-Plus Overband Magnet
The design objective of creating a more compact and powerful electromagnetic Overband Magnet led the Bunting engineering team to develop the ElectroMax-Plus. Electro Overband Magnets Electromagnetic Overband Magnets use an oil-cooled or air-cooled wire coil to generate a deep and strong magnetic field. The electromagnetic force radiates from a coil wound around a steel core…

Bunting’s latest Magnetic Disc Separator (MDS) is for processing and separating key minerals from a beach sands deposit. The three-stage Magnetic Disc Separator is destined for a mineral processing operation in Africa. The Magnetic Disc Separator Magnetic Disc Separators (MDS) enable an accurate separation of minerals with varied magnetic susceptibilities. Typically, a Magnetic Disc Separator…
Read MoreTramp Metal Removed from Reclaimed Kaolin
A major UK mineral processing company has installed two large Bullet Magnets to remove tramp ferrous metal from dry reclaimed kaolin. After initial discussions, Bunting conducted controlled tests in the Redditch Centre-of-Excellence. The reclaimed kaolin had a broad particle size range, with 95% below 250 microns. Iron contamination was approximately 1000ppm (although it could peak…
Read More3 Overband Magnet Installation Problems
The Permanent Overband Magnet is one of the most commonly used magnetic separators. Overband Magnets are found in most recycling plants recovering steel cans and other ferrous metals from a wide range of waste materials as well as in quarries (protecting crushers & screens) and on mobile plant (screens and crushers). However, incorrect installation leads…

One of the largest quarries in the US state of Georgia is protecting their processing plant against damage from tramp ferrous metal by installing a Bunting PCB1206-EL Permanent Crossbelt Separator. Junction City Mining helps build bridges in the US southeast by supplying high-quality aggregate materials for construction. The company required a massive structure to handle the…
Read MoreAmerican Quarries Install TN77 Metal Detectors
TN77 Metal Detectors are proving popular with quarry operators in the USA. The industrial Metal Detectors identify tramp metal in conveyed aggregate and prevent damage to screens and crushers. The TN77 metal detector is a tunnel-type Metal Detector used widely in the quarrying, mining and recycling industries where the conveyed material is non-metallic or non-conductive. …
