Maximising 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 MoreMetal Recovery Technology at Ecomondo 2019
Technology to recover ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel metal from waste and secondary materials is the focus on stand A2 008 at the green technology expo Ecomondo 2019 (Rimini, Italy 5-8 November 2019). “Reusing waste material is only possible after segregation and separation,” explained Simon Ayling, Bunting’s European Managing Director. “Our focus is designing, developing and…
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 Separation Attracts Visitors at RWM19
Visitors to RWM19 heard and then saw metal being separated on Bunting’s stand P1 as soon as they walked into the show. “Visitors to the RWM19 exhibition wanted to see equipment in action. The clattering noise of separating metal was enough to ignite their imagination and draw them to the stand,” explained Adrian Coleman, the…
Read MoreLab Equipment For University of Birmingham
The University of Birmingham has purchased a laboratory-sized Eddy Current Separator and Drum Magnet modular system from Bunting-Redditch. Students and professors undertaking research at the university will use the new Metal Separation Module to determine the recovery and recycling capabilities of a wide range of materials. The laboratory Metal Separation Module comprises of a Vibratory…
Read MoreGlobal Waste Challenge
The global waste problem has never been more acute. There is a continued drive towards a throw-away society, encouraging consumers to purchase newly manufactured goods. This creates unprecedented amounts of waste, much of which cannot be reused or recycled. The issue of waste is now a headline story across the planet. Through television programmes and…
Read MoreBattery Recycling Focus at International Congress
The 24th International Congress for Battery Recycling (ICBR 2019) takes place in Lyon, France (September 18-20 2019). With metal separation being a key stage in the battery recycling process, Bunting is attending and exhibiting at the congress (booth 12). ICBR is the international platform for presenting the latest developments and discussing the challenges faced by…
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…
Read MoreEddy Current Separator Health Check
A ‘Health Check’ is defined as ‘an examination to determine whether a person or animal is suffering from illness or injury’, but we also apply it to the Eddy Current Separator. In many recycling operations, the Eddy Current Separator is a vital part of the process. The aluminium and non-ferrous metals recovered on the Eddy…
Read MoreNew XRF Enhances Mineral Testing Capabilities
The purchase of a new X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyser enhances the mineral testing capabilities of the Bunting test laboratory based at the manufacturing facility in Redditch, UK. Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science, based in Abingdon, UK, supplied the X-MET8000 Expert XRF analyser and provided comprehensive training for the technical staff at Bunting. The Science of X-Ray…
