SSSC Magnetic Separation Conveyors for Auto Recycling Success

The patented design of Bunting’s Stainless Steel Separation Conveyor™, or SSSC^®, utilizes a circuit of high-intensity neodymium magnets in order to maximize the recovery and removal of stainless steel in many different applications, including general recycling, auto shredding, and wire chopping. SSSC magnetic separation conveyors are notable because they can recover up to 98% of small and mid-fraction 300 series stainless steel, as well as up to 94% of large fraction stainless steel from ASR zurik lines. Because of this, Bunting’s SSSC is of particularly high value in the auto recycling industry, as it is the only product available in the modern recycling market that allows for such high stainless steel recovery levels.

When the SSSC is used in auto shredding recycling applications, it magnetically pulls out stainless steel from the finder stream, as well as recovers stainless steel from mid to large fractions. To do this, SSSC magnetic separation conveyors use a patented magnetic circuit design of high-intensity neodymium magnets that Bunting engineers designed and fine-tuned in order to achieve maximum stainless steel recovery.

During the development of the SSSC, Bunting engineers used the company’s extensive on-site testing facilities to run thorough testing that resulted in the most effective end product. Today, Bunting’s testing center is open to customers who wish to see a real-time demonstration of how Bunting’s equipment will handle their product. By working with Bunting engineers, we invite those in the auto recycling industry to use our test facility to see exactly how their product will interact with the SSSC. Based on the result of this testing, our engineers can design a custom SSSC to meet the exact needs of your facility and operations.

By removing stainless steel magnetically, there is no interruption to your greater operations, yet your overall profitability is dramatically increased. Because product with too much contamination may be rejected by buyers, when you increase the purity of your product, you increase your profits as well. In recent years, domestic metal foundries have tightened their standards more and more because of export restrictions, and dirty loads are downgraded more than they ever have been before. SSSC magnetic separation conveyors achieve the highest level of stainless steel separation, and offer high performance and peace of mind for those in the auto recycling industry seeking to maximize their profitability and product purity.
