Measuring Magnetic Separator Power
A Magnetic Separator attracts, captures and holds magnetic particles. The magnetic strength needed to successfully separate such problematic ferrous metal contamination is commonly stated in a magnetic separator supplier’s quotation or specified in the tender. This ‘Magnetic Strength’ is usually referenced in terms of ‘Gauss’, a unit of measurement. However, as it is difficult to accurately measure…

Read MoreMagnetic Separator Audit for Jordans Dorset Ryvita
Bunting engineers have conducted a thorough review of all the Magnetic Separators installed at the Jordans Dorset Ryvita plant in Poole, Dorset. The magnetic separator audit was completed over three days, including attending site on Saturday to prevent any loss in production. Jordans Dorset Ryvita has a strong heritage of making whole grain foods and working with farmers to…
Read More3 Metal Parts Contaminating Plastic Waste
Recycling plastic waste is challenging at the best of times. However, when contaminated with ferrous metals, recycling is hindered by equipment damage, production downtime and poor end product quality. Thankfully, installing the optimum magnetic separator ensures that such ferrous metal contamination is removed. In this article we look at three examples of ferrous metal contamination…
Read More6 Inline Magnets for Plastics Producer
Six (6) Inline Magnetic Separators (PIMS) are due to be installed in a UK plastic production facility. The project originated from a discussion at the Interplas exhibition in 2017. The Inline Magnetic Separator offers great versatility with ease of installation and maintenance. Inside the tube-like body is a strong Plate Magnet. This ensures that there is no restriction to…
Read MoreCleansing Plastic of Metal at K 2019
Removing metal from virgin and recycled plastics is the focus on the Bunting stand (Hall 10/J 47) at the international K 2019 exhibition (16-23 October 2019, Düsseldorf, Germany). Metal contamination is an issue for any company producing plastics products or managing plastic waste. In virgin plastic manufacturing processes, metal damages processing equipment and the quality…
Read MoreFocus on Metal Recovery at RWM 2019
The focus on the Bunting stand at RWM 2019 (11 & 12 September, NEC, Birmingham, UK) is recovering and separating metals from secondary ‘waste’ materials. Working production-sized metal separators separating metals are on display on stand P1, right by the entrance to the show. Recycling has never had a higher profile. The ongoing backlash against single-use…
