Safely Remove Metals During Food Processing
With over 60 years of experience in the industry of manufacturing magnetic technologies for the food industry, you can rely on incomparable dependability, customer service and, most importantly, quality. Bunting® is dedicated to seeking out new ways to help food manufacturers streamline their facilities.
The Food Industry specifically uses Bunting® Magnetic Separation Systems, Material Handling Equipment, Metal Detection Equipment, Magnetic Cylinders, Bonded Magnets, and Assemblies. Our products can help you remove and transport the metals out of bakery goods, fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, cooking oil and various other solid and liquid food products. Below you will see how we use different products in order to make your plant safer and more efficient.

Metal Detection for Food Contaminants
The most common of foreign material within food processing is metal. This contamination can cause damage to further processing equipment but more importantly, is a safety hazard for consumers. Metal contamination that makes it into the food supply can cause untold brand and reputation damage to the supplier.
Metal Detectors sense and remove the presence of ferrous, nonferrous and stainless metals in a process flow, or as a packaged item. All food-grade (or higher) come standard with Metal-Detectable Gaskets & Grommets for an added layer of product safety and brand protection.
Magnetic Cylinders for Food Label Printing
Producing a wide variety of magnetic cylinders including magnetic die cutting cylinders, two-piece can printing cylinders, plastic decorating cylinders, and corrugated carton printing cylinders; our magnetic cylinders can be used to print on food containers or cans with ease. We have invested in state-of-the-art precision machinery to manufacture our magnetic cylinders to meet or exceed OEM specifications.
Magnetic Separation & Material Handling Conveyors
We manufacture an extensive line of magnetic separation equipment to remove metal contaminants from dry particulates, liquids, and slurries. Our lineup includes units designed to remove metal contamination from gravity, mechanical, or pneumatic conveying systems.
Our magnetic conveyors can help maintain a steady, uninterrupted flow of material and product often at higher rates than are practical with non-magnetic units. If your plant does not require magnetic conveyors, we also manufacture nonmagnetic models that have the same well-designed features, engineer support, and superior durability as our magnetic conveyors.

Corrosive Resistant Magnetic Liquid Trap
The CR-MLT offers high separation capabilities combined with exceptional resistance to corrosion, providing a solution for customers in a wide range of industries who are handling corrosive and acidic materials.
Pneumatic Style Metal Separators
These metal separators detect and reject all metal types in enclosed pipe systems. Easy operation, fast-acting reject flap, and maintenance-free.
Magnetic Pull Test Kits
These test kits has been developed for the purpose of field inspection, measurement and performance analysis of permanent magnetic separation equipment to guard against a lapse in magnetic protection.
Tunnel Style Metal Detectors with Conveyors
Tunnel style metal detectors can be used to inspect raw foods or for final inspection in a packaging line, to make sure their is no metal in the product before shipping to the customer.
Gravity Free-Fall Style Metal Detectors
Metal Detectors that are used to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals as they pass through a detector in gravity free-fall applications.
Gravity Free-Fall Metal Separators – Food, Powder & Bulk
Automatically detects and rejects ferrous and nonferrous contaminants from product flow, safely and efficiently.
Pipeline Style Metal Separators
In our pipeline series, we have two styles, the pipeLINE™ system is used for liquids or pastes in pressure conveying lines. The meatLINE™ system is also used for liquids or pastes but it uses simple integration with a vacuum filter.
Washdown Can Conveyors
Move and control full and empty cans safely and efficiently, without can damage. For high capacity systems in a wet or washdown environment.
Upstacking Pulleys
Adjustable Magnetic Upstacking Pulleys use VFD variable speed drive motors to fan, stabilize, control and feed lids into sleeves or feeding machines. For use in the Canning Industry.
Pharmaceutical Metal Detector
Our metal detector for the pharmaceutical industry inspects pills and capsules with ultra-fast processing, fast cleaning and sanitizing, with easy maintenance.
Magnetic Pulleys
