Mineral Processing Lab High Intensity Electromagnetic Filter
A high intensity Electromagnetic Filter has expanded the mineral testing capabilities in the Bunting-Redditch mineral processing laboratory. The Electromagnetic Filter is designed to remove fine iron and weakly magnetic materials from mineral slurries and ceramics slips and glazes. The new equipment expands the extensive range of high intensity magnetic separators already used in the test…

Magnetic Separation – International Mineral Conference Master Magnets has been announced as one of the principle sponsors of the Physical Separation ’19 conference (13-14 June, National Maritime Museum, Falmouth, Cornwall, UK). Physical Separation ’19 is organised by Minerals Engineering International (MEI). Although chemical methods of concentration and extraction dominate the industry, the physical separation methods are ubiquitous. …

A Look Back at our News & Blogs in 2018 2018 proved to be another exciting year. Despite the spectre of BREXIT, business overseas continued to flourish and grow. We attended a number of international exhibitions, securing orders on the stand. There have also been concerns on the UK mainland about waste management and especially…
Read MoreMagnetic Disc Separator for Processing Coltan
A Magnetic Disc Separator (MDS) has been manufactured and despatched to Nigeria for use in the processing of Coltan (a combination of columbite and tantalite). The Magnetic Separator is used in a process to primarily extract Tantalum. Tantalum is a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for electric cars, mobile phones and other…
Read MoreTechnical Explanation of the Magnetic Disc Separator
The origins of the Magnetic Disc Separator date back to the early 1900s. Although manufacturing techniques have significantly changed and more advanced machines have now been incorporated, the basic function design remains virtually the same. The Magnetic Disc Separator is widely used to ensure an accurate separation of dry minerals that have varied magnetic susceptibilities.…
Read MoreMagnetic Separators For Mineral Processing
Magnetic separators can be found in most mineral processing operations, especially those processing non-metallic minerals and magnetic ores. This article investigates the use of high intensity magnetic separators and magnetic separation equipment in the minerals sector with a focus on processing dry materials (in the -15mm, +45 micron size range). Principles of Magnetic Separators There…
Read MoreHUB4 Visits Master Magnets
As part of our 40th anniversary celebration, we invited David Roberts from HUB-4 to our manufacturing plant in Redditch, UK. With business strong following two successful exhibitions (Hillhead and RWM), David was able to see a busy shop floor. Eddy Current Separator On a tour around the factory, we showed David the Eddy Current Separator that…
Read MoreVideo Explanation of the Induced Magnetic Roll Separator IMR
The Induced Magnetic Roll Separator (IMR) has been used in the non-metallic mineral industry for decades. However, the popularity of this high intensity magnetic separator dwindled after the development of the Rare Earth (RE) Roll Magnetic Separator in the late 70s early 80s. Whereas the magnetic forces in an IMR were electromagnetically generated, high intensity…
Read MoreLab Equipment For Belgium
Research institute Vito NV, based in Belgium, has purchased a range of laboratory scale Magnetic Separators to evaluate the magnetic properties of different minerals in their research. Dry Processing with the Induced Magnetic Roll For testing dry, free-flowing materials, a High Intensity Bench Top Induced Magnetic Roll (IMR) was supplied. The design of the laboratory-scale IMR allows…
Read More5 High Intensity Magnetic Separators for SODEX Mines
Bunting manufactured five (5) high intensity Magnetic Separators for SODEX Mines in Nigeria. The mineral processing company specialises in the production of Columbite concentrates that are used in the manufacture of superconductive alloys. Prior to contacting Bunting, SODEX Mines were using old and outdated magnetic separators. Subsequently, they were experiencing difficulties in upgrading their final…
