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:

Solutions Overband (Crossbelt) Magnetic Separators
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.
