Aggregates, Mining & Biomass





Magnetic Separation and Metal Detection
for Aggregate, Mining & Biomass
Protect Your Equipment. Ensure Product Purity. Minimize Downtime.
Bunting delivers engineered metal separation and detection solutions purpose-built for the demanding environments of aggregate, mining, and biomass operations. Our rugged systems remove ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants from bulk materials—safeguarding critical equipment, preserving product quality, and improving your bottom line.
Why Metal Contamination Is a Serious Risk
Prevent Crusher Damage from Tramp Metal
Tramp metal causes serious damage to jaw crushers, impactors, screens, and conveyor belts. Even small fragments can crack liners, jam screens, or rip belting—resulting in costly repairs and lost production.
Ensure Product Quality and Regulatory Compliance
In biomass processing, metal contamination can introduce secondary pollution during combustion or pelletizing. Aggregate and mining operations must meet strict specifications to deliver clean, contaminant-free material.
Our systems intercept these risks before they reach your critical processing equipment.
Magnetic Separation and Metal Detection Solutions
Bunting delivers a full line of equipment engineered to withstand harsh, high-volume industrial operations:
Self-cleaning systems for continuous tramp metal removal—available in permanent, air-cooled, and oil-cooled electromagnetic models.
Suspended Magnets
Ideal for removing ferrous contaminants from conveyors handling crushed rock, coal, sand, or biomass.
Drum Magnets and Magnetic Pulleys
Extract metal from high-flow materials in quarry, mining, or wood processing applications.
Eddy Current Separators
Designed to separate non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper from biomass, ash, and mineral streams.
Tunnel and Conveyor Metal Detectors
Detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals in bulk materials—protecting screens, crushers, and other downstream systems.
Every plant is different. That’s why Bunting equipment is built to integrate seamlessly with your production flow, physical layout, and contamination profile.
