Magnet Options, Self-Cleaning Options and USDA Acceptance

Magnet Options

You can customize Bunting® Magnetic Separation Equipment by selecting the permanent magnetic material that’s best for your application. Bunting® Permanent Magnets provide continuous, dependable protection year after year with little or no maintenance. They resist demagnetization and won’t generate unwanted heat or shut down during a power failure. Ask for information about our lifetime warranty on magnetic strength.

Ceramic Magnets are the standard material used in our separation equipment and the right choice for most separation applications. They create a strong magnetic field that captures and holds both large and small ferrous objects and debris.

Alnico Magnets are naturally heat-resistant and can handle high-temperature applications as high as 1000° Fahrenheit. Alnico magnetic energy and separation capabilities are similar to Ceramic.

Rare Earth Neodymium Magnets have the extra magnetic energy required to capture extremely fine or weakly magnetic contaminants and can handle high flow rates and dense materials. Bunting® Rare Earth Separation Magnets can be ordered in several grades and have a raw energy product many times greater than Ceramic.

Increase Operating Efficiency with Self-Cleaning Continuous-Cleaning Separators

When large amounts of tramp iron collect on magnets, their capacity to capture and hold additional contaminants is reduced. To facilitate cleaning, many Bunting® Separators are available either in manual self-cleaning models that make hand cleaning significantly easier or in fully automatic cleaning models that can be remotely controlled and timed. Others with drum or belt-type construction are continuously self-cleaning. The extra cost of a self-cleaning model is more than offset by reduced labor and downtime costs and by increased operator productivity and safety. Automatic self-cleaning separators are ideal for locations where worker access is limited.

Bunting® Separators First to Earn USDA, AMS Acceptance

Specially built sanitary-grade Bunting® Magnetic Metal Separators are the first separators to earn USDA, AMS acceptance, Bunting’s engineers refined existing designs to help processors meet increased marketplace demands and governmental requirements for safer and purer foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. All of these approved models have met or exceeded the USDA, AMS criteria as published in the NSF/ANSI/3-A 14159-1 2002 specifications, passed inspection, and earned the right to bear the USDA, AMS Meat and Poultry Accepted Equipment logo.
