Bunting Magnetics Develops New Magnetic Cross-Belt Conveyor Design

Bunting Magnetics Co., Newton, Kan., says it has developed a new design for its magnetic cross-belt conveyor product line that features structural enhancements, an improved magnetic deep-reach circuit and tramp metal deflector shields that increase the protection of the belt.

“Whether you are recycling plastic, tires and rubber, wood, metals or e-scrap, these materials can be very abrasive on the belt and can easily get under the belt and onto the face of the magnet, which can cause havoc,” says Don Suderman, Bunting product manager for material handling. “Our new design features UHMW wings that extend over the bottom side edges of the belt to protect it from tramp metal tears.”

The new wing design also seals the edge of the belt and keeps tramp metal from snapping to the side of the conveyor frame or getting under the belt. As additional protection, Bunting has further surrounded the magnet with a heavy-box stainless steel frame.

“Within any recycling facility, our Cross-Belt Conveyors will make a large impact on the efficiency of the operation in that facility,” Suderman says. “Our new magnetic circuit provides maximum separation effectiveness of tramp metal for municipal recycling and higher product purity in a shredding recycling operation.”
