Improve Powder and Bulk Operations with Bunting Metal Detection and Magnetic Separation

When you are working in the powder and bulk industry, you could find yourself handling just about any type of material. As those within the industry know, “powder and bulk” is a broad category that covers everything from wood pulp, to prescription medications, to plastic, to food. Depending on what sector of the industry you are working in, you could be handling anything from dog kibble to industrial chemicals. Regardless of what sector of the powder and bulk industry you are a part of, all manufacturers must protect their product from the harm that can be caused by metal contamination. If metal contamination is allowed to remain within your product, not only can the other equipment in your facility be damaged, but the health and safety of your consumers may be at risk as well. To protect your product, your equipment, and your customers, Bunting offers those in the powder and bulk industries a comprehensive selection of magnetic separation and metal detection equipment.

Bunting Magnetic Separation and Metal Detection significantly improves operations within your facility, regardless of which specialized sector of the powder and bulk industry you work in.

Magnetic separation products from Bunting work by using a simple—yet powerful—magnet. The magnetic field reaches out into the greater product flow, causing ferrous particles to be attracted to the magnet and trapped to its surface, where these contaminant particles will remain until they are removed. Many of Bunting’s magnetic separation products have self-cleaning mechanisms, meaning ferrous contaminants are effectively disposed of and removed with little to no extra work for operators in your facility. All of our products, whether manual or self-cleaning, are designed to integrate seamlessly with the equipment already installed in your facility, and promise higher purity product while protecting equipment downstream from damage.

Bunting’s metal detectors for the powder and bulk industry are available in pneumatic, gravity-free fall, and tunnel style varieties. Gravity free-fall and pneumatic style metal detectors easily install to fit within your existing plant setup, and deliver exceptional detection of ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel metal contamination. Our tunnel style metal detectors can be used to inspect raw or packaged food as it moves on a conveyor line, with its ability to detect metal in packaged items adding an extra layer of protection and quality control to products about to be shipped out. All of our metal detectors deliver highly sensitive metal detection that removes the greatest level of metal contamination while minimizing loss of good product.

By effectively removing metal contamination from your product flow, you will protect your product integrity, your brand reputation, your processing equipment, and your customers.
