Magnetic Separation & Conveyors for Metal Fabrication

From coil to finished part, Bunting delivers integrated magnetic solutions and conveyor systems purpose-built for the demands of metal fabrication operations. Whether you’re working with ferrous or mixed-metal stock, our solutions help manage scrap, protect equipment, and ensure efficient, uninterrupted production.

Our systems are used in metal fabrication environments to:

  • Remove slugs, scrap, and tramp metal from die areas and part flow
  • Protect dies, feed lines, conveyors, and downstream equipment
  • Prevent misfeeds and double-sheet faults in automated systems
  • Improve scrap separation for recycling and material recovery
  • Support safe, continuous part and scrap handling throughout production

 

Safeguarding Equipment and Maximizing Uptime

Tramp metal and slug build-up can severely damage fabrication dies, misalign feed stock, and halt production. Bunting’s magnetic and conveying solutions are engineered to remove and control metal debris in fast-paced fabrication environments—ensuring continuous operation and extending the life of your equipment.

Total Scrap Handling & Protection Solutions

We offer a complete range of systems for metal fabrication operations—whether you’re handling stainless coil, aluminum blanks, or galvanized parts. Our solutions reduce unplanned downtime, improve material cleanliness, and streamline safe scrap handling from press to bin.

Conveyors

Bunting offers a full range of heavy-duty, magnetic, and precision conveyor solutions engineered specifically for the demands of metal stamping operations. Whether you're moving ferrous scrap, feeding sheets into presses, or retrieving small stamped parts, our conveyors are designed to maximize uptime, improve scrap flow, and protect your pressroom investments.

Our stamping conveyors are used to:

  • Transfer ferrous chips, slugs, and turnings from under presses and machine tools
  • Feed and orient metal blanks into presses, welders, or shears with exact timing
  • Retrieve small ferrous parts from vibratory bowls, finishing stations, and sorting lines
  • Handle scrap and parts in tight spaces with low-profile, gang-driven configurations
  • Eliminate jams, reduce maintenance, and streamline material flow throughout your facility

 

Accessories

Magnetic Sheet Fanners
Magnetic sheet fanners safely separate oily, sticky, or polished ferrous sheets to eliminate misfeeds and double-sheet errors in automated press lines. Available in multiple configurations—including switchable, machine-mounted, pivoting, and retractable pin styles—these fanners enhance line efficiency and reduce downtime during high-speed stamping operations.

Aerosol Test Bath Magnetic Rails
Designed for maximum magnetic hold-down during aerosol can testing, these custom-engineered magnetic rails are available in single or dual-lane chain configurations. Built to suit your tank, chain, and application requirements, they deliver stability and precision throughout the testing process.

Magnetic Plate Rails
Engineered for use in horizontal and inclined mat-top or fabric belt conveyors, our magnetic plate rails provide powerful part control in washdown or wet stamping environments. Constructed with the strongest magnetic rails in the industry, they ensure reliable product positioning and smooth material flow through transfer and inspection zones.

FAQ's

Q: What types of magnetic equipment does Bunting offer for metal stamping operations?

A: Bunting provides magnetic conveyors, sheet fanners and magnetic tooling equipment designed to improve safety, efficiency, and uptime in stamping and fabricating environments

Q: How do magnetic conveyors help in stamping applications?

A: Magnetic conveyors like Bunting's MagSlide® systems are ideal for transporting oily metal scrap, chips, and small stamped parts without jamming. They offer enclosed construction with no external moving parts, reducing maintenance and improving safety.

Q: What’s the benefit of using a MagSlide® conveyor versus a traditional belted conveyor?

A: MagSlide® conveyors handle abrasive, jagged scrap that can damage traditional conveyors. With fully enclosed drive systems and powerful magnets, they require minimal maintenance and are built for rugged, continuous useBunting-Metal Working I….

Q: What customization options are available for conveyors in stamping facilities?

A: Bunting offers horizontal, incline, and nose-over magnetic conveyor configurations, with add-ons like manganese slider beds, mobile bases, and hoppers to fit your facility’s layout.

Q: Can Bunting help with part orientation or stacking after stamping?

A: Yes. Bunting provides magnetic timing belt transfer conveyors and magnetic stackers that orient and stack stamped parts accurately for downstream processing or packaging.
