Cleaning Systems

Protection Against Ferrous and Nonferrous Debris

Bunting’s Cleaning Stations combine our powerful magnetic separation equipment and our state-of the art metal detectors to deliver you an all-in-one cleaning system that provides the most effective removal of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel from your plastics production environment. The cleaning station typically combines one of Bunting’s most popular magnetic separation products, our FF Series Drawer Magnet, with either our quickTRON 03R or HS 9100 metal detector. To match other demands that specific applications may present, our engineering team is happy to work with you to design a different equipment combination. Bunting offers extensive customization options on all of our products, and our Cleaning Station is no exception.

Cleaning Stations are desirable due to the fact that they combine magnetic separation with advanced metal detection technology to efficiently remove metal contamination from materials such as regrind, free-flowing virgin resins, recycled plastics, and more. Cleaning Stations are particularly desirable in applications where the variety or volume of metal contamination within the material being processed could overwhelm a single piece of equipment. Cleaning Stations are an excellent choice for the purification of regrind, recycled goods, and other plastics materials being processed in your plastics plant.

The first component of our standard Cleaning Station is an FF Series Drawer Magnet. This piece of magnetic separation equipment harness the power of neodymium magnets to capture and hold a wide range of ferrous materials—from large pieces of tramp iron to even the tiniest fine metal particles. The second component is one of our metal detectors, which use the most advanced metal detection technology to detect and reject all types of metal contamination, including non-ferrous metals and stainless steel. Our Cleaning Station will typically implement a quickTRON 03R or HS 9100 metal detector. These metal detectors feature adjustable sensitivity and rejection cycling features to conserve good material. We offer our Cleaning Stations in 3 specific configurations: Gaylord Cleaning Stations, By the Press Cleaning Stations, and Duplex Separator Cleaning Stations.

Bunting Cleaning Stations:

Gaylord Cleaning Station (FF Series Drawer Magnet + quickTRON™ 03R OR HS 9050/9100 metal detector)

• Ensures maximum protection against ferrous and nonferrous debris in plastics production environments.

• Adjustable metal detection sensitivity and fast-acting rejection mechanism preserve good material and reduce waste.

• Reclaim good plastic, reduce waste, and maximize your profits.

Duplex Separators (FF Series Drawer Magnet + Electronic HS Metal Detector)

• FF Drawer Magnet catches ferrous debris, minimizing the number of HS9100 reject cycles and reducing material waste due to ferrous contamination.

• The HS Detector removes ferrous contaminants and rejects other common nonferrous metal contaminents.

• Working in tandem, the Duplex Separator can eliminate virtually all tramp metal from a plastics process.

By the Press Cleaning Station (Manual Self Cleaning FF Drawer + quickTRON™ 03R)

• FF Drawer Magnet captures fine ferrous particles.

• QuickTRON™ 03 R senses and rejects ferrous and non-ferrous metal.

• Adjustable metal detection sensitivity and fast-acting rejection mechanism preserve good material and reduce waste.
