Hump Magnets

Hump Magnets for Gravity Flow Ferrous Separation

Bunting hump magnets remove ferrous contamination from dry powders, granules, and fibrous materials in gravity flow and pneumatic conveying lines. The angled housing directs material across the magnetic plates, helping break up clumps, reduce bridging, and improve contact with the magnetic field.

Available Configurations

• Standard hump models for high volume dry material flow
• Half hump models for installations with limited headroom
• Self cleaning models for automated contaminant removal and reduced downtime
• Custom transitions for round, square, or rectangular spouting

Construction and Magnet Options

• Stainless steel or mild steel housing for industrial environments
• Ferrite or neodymium magnetic circuits to suit the application
• Metal detectable gaskets and grommets for added process control

Common Applications

• Plastic regrind, pellets, and granules
• Food ingredients and fibrous products
• Powders and other free flowing dry materials
