Start With the Application
What Do You Need to Find Out?
The material, the metal and the way your process runs all affect equipment selection. Start with the question your test needs to answer.
Remove Metal Contamination
Evaluate how candidate equipment separates metal from your material and where separation could fit in your process.
Recover Valuable Material
Assess separation options for a mixed stream and examine the material fractions produced during a trial.
Evaluate Metal Detection
Discuss your product, contaminants and inspection point to establish an appropriate detection trial.

Facilities & Application Support
A Test Setup That Fits the Question
Bunting offers material testing at Newton, Kansas and Redditch, UK. Our team will discuss which location and equipment suit your application.
A laboratory trial gives you evidence under defined conditions. Review those conditions alongside your production throughput, material variability and installation requirements.
Talk With a Bunting Application Engineer →Before You Send Material
Bring the Process Details
You do not need to have selected a model. Start with your material and the problem you need to solve.
Contact the team before shipping. Agree the sample quantity, handling requirements and delivery arrangements for your test.
- Material type, particle size and condition
- Metal contamination or material you want to recover
- Current process and proposed equipment location
- Operating throughput and known constraints
- Test objective, photos and relevant process drawings
Material Testing Questions
How Much Material Should I Send?
The quantity depends on the material, equipment and test objective. Discuss the application with Bunting before preparing or shipping a sample.
Which Facility Should I Contact?
Start with your application and location. The Bunting team can discuss whether Newton or Redditch is the appropriate facility for the proposed test.
Does a Trial Establish Production Performance?
A trial evaluates material under the conditions used for that test. Review the findings with Bunting against your production requirements before specifying equipment.
