New ElectroStatic Separator
The launch of the new Bunting ElectroStatic Separator is in response to enhanced material separation requirements in the recycling, plastics and minerals industries. The ElectroStatic Separator uses tungsten electrode wire to generate electrostatic charges to separate dry liberated particles. The new technology significantly broadens separation capabilities, opening up new opportunities for recovering materials from waste…

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…

Read MoreMaximising Non-Ferrous Metal Separation
There is an ever-growing demand to maximise the recovery or removal of metal from waste, especially non-ferrous. The economic viability of many recycling plants is based upon their ability to successfully recover valuable metals such as aluminium. In operations processing waste plastics, successful recycling is not possible without removing the ferrous and non-ferrous metal contamination. …
Read MoreThree Metal In Food Safety Alerts
Between July and November 2019, the UK Food Standards Agency has issued three food alerts regarding metal contaminated food products. This brings the total number of metal-in-food contamination alerts to eight for 2019. This is a rise from four in 2018 and six in 2017. In all cases, the Food Standards Agency stated that ‘The…
Read MoreMetal In Plastic Waste
The global focus on managing plastic waste continues to intensify. There is an emphasis on improving collection to ensure plastic waste does not enter the ecosystem. Once collected, the next issue is dealing with that plastic waste, by either re-introducing into the plastics process as a raw material or using it in another product such…
Read MoreMetal Separator Locations in a Plastics Plant
Determining the best location to remove metal in a Plastics Processing plant can be difficult. To assist plastics engineers, Bunting has released a Typical Plant Flowsheet showing optimum locations for metal separators. This blog focuses on the locations, designs and types of Magnetic Separator and Metal Detector commonly used in plastics plants. A Typical Flowsheet On the flowsheet, the…
