Bunting^® is a One-stop Source for Recycling Equipment used in Material Recovery Facilities

Bunting provides equipment to help customers working in the recycling industries by using magnetic separation technology to remove metal contaminants from material streams, providing metal detection equipment to alert operators of ferrous and non-ferrous metal hazards within the product flow, and removing or rejecting that contamination for a purer product stream. All of our equipment is designed to be low-maintenance and operator friendly to increase efficiency and decrease downtime in your operations.

Magnetic Separation for Recycling

Magnetic separation utilizes powerful magnets to pull out ferrous metal contaminants from a processing line, trapping them against the face of the magnet and ensuring they cannot re-enter the material stream. The strength of the magnetic field means that continued material flow, no matter how rapid, will not be able to dislodge the ferrous material from where it has been initially trapped. Bunting offers magnetic separation equipment suitable for gravity free-fall systems, in-line systems, and liquid processing systems.

Metal detection for Recycling

Metal detection systems generate an electromagnetic field that material flows through, sensing and rejecting any ferrous or non-ferrous metal that is hidden within the material. In situations where a magnetic separator may be unable to remove a non-ferrous contaminant, such as aluminum, a metal detector is able to sense this metal and remove the contaminated section of material from the greater flow of operations. Bunting offers metal detection equipment suitable for gravity free-fall, pneumatic, and all conveyor applications, with three different packages available for electronics customization.

Bunting offers conveyor systems and conveyor system components in order to provide efficient transport of various recycled materials throughout your facility. Bunting’s wide line of conveyors and accessory parts offer an efficient, low-maintenance answer to moving high volumes of material quickly and safely in any environment, no matter how tough. From feeding material into shredders with magnetic and metal detection separation capabilities, transferring that shredded material to a granulator or to a high intensity magnetic separator over a vibratory feed feeding an Eddy Current or Drum Separator, Bunting has the complete line.

All of our products are custom designed by our engineers according to the customer’s specifications, allowing for them to integrate seamlessly into the existing production environment. Our team of engineers work with each customer to deliver a personalized piece of equipment with the physical dimensions to best fit your space and flow stream, and with the magnetic components that best suit your separation, detection, and conveying needs.
