Automated Magnetic Handling – Custom Modules

Get Exactly What You Need
Whether you are planning plant-wide automation or just streamlining a specific operation, we can design and build “packages” to get the job done. Packages include all necessary switches, drives, electronic controls, and high-strength precision frames to ensure accurate tracking and long belt life. Bunting® Stacking/Destacking and Timing Belt Conveyor Modules are individually engineered to fit specific applications. They can be installed as stand-alone units or fully integrated into your production line or present conveying system.

Get Complete System Integration
The experienced integration specialists we work with can provide full integration services, from consultation to delivery and beyond. Our engineers and consultants begin by working with your staff to assess your specific needs and evaluate your options. Once the design is set, we and the integrators build or acquire the specified components and controls. Fabrication and assembly are followed by extensive testing. When fine-tuning is successfully completed, the integration specialists can provide equipment installation and train your staff in system operation.

Stacking Modules
Bunting® Stacking Modules can be configured to take sheets or blanks from your cut-to-length operation and then transfer, index, and stack them at preselected destination points.

Destacking Modules
A Magnetic Destacking Conveyor can be installed to fan and separate stacked parts or blanks and feed them one at a time into production machinery. As the ferrous sheets or parts are acquired and magnetically fanned, they are separated and captured one at a time by the magnetic field of a Conveyor Module and transported to the next workstation.

Transfer Modules
Parts discharged from production machinery can be automatically and continuously elevated on Magnetic Incline Conveyors for transport on space-saving overhead Horizontal Conveyors.

Make Bunting® the Foundation of Your Material Handling System
We can integrate modules into new production lines or even into existing systems that use material handling equipment and controls from other manufacturers. Each installation is designed and meticulously engineered to match your specific needs. Whatever your application requires, Bunting® gives you the advantage of single-source convenience. We offer engineering assistance and manufacturing capabilities that can deliver everything from pre-engineered modular conveyors to completely customized installations.

Standard Stacking/Destacking and Timing Belt Conveyor Specifications
Bunting® Stacking/Destacking and Timing Belt Conveyors are designed and built to meet customer specifications. They can be configured to handle ferrous sheets in various shapes and sizes. They are engineered to allow quick changeovers for parts of different dimensions. Box frames offer exceptional strength and rigidity. Precision machining of crowned pulleys, frames, and the use of heavy-duty self-aligning bearings enhance reliability and durability.

Normal limits on sheet size are between 0.008 and 0.125 inches in thickness. Standard components include endless urethane belts that carry ferrous parts over high-energy permanent magnets tailored to each individual application. Rare Earth magnets are optional. Speeds of 40 to 400 FPM are typical, but other speeds, reversing, and indexing are also available. Conveyor frames are made of formed or machined materials for added strength and rigidity. Standard modules have 4” belts and come in lengths from 3’ to 50’. They can be built to transport parts any desired distance. Stacker frames are made from rigid tubular structural steel with conveyor mounts precision machined for reliable belt tracking. Drive pulleys are all-steel, heavily knurled, and crowned. Controls are selected and configured to individual applications.
