Bunting Magnetics

Remove, Transport, and Elevate Abrasive Ferrous Material

Bunting® MagSlide® Magnetic Slide Chip and Parts Conveyors are built to handle the tough jobs. Dirty, oily parts, jagged, abrasive scrap, and other punishing materials that could damage or jam conventional conveyors are no challenge for Bunting’s 3-D CAD-designed, ruggedly constructed slide plate conveyors.

They are ideal for use anywhere you need to transfer ferrous chips, turnings, and small parts from lathes, mills, or stamping presses or from slitting, forming, and other metalworking operations. Chain-driven, permanently charged high-energy Ceramic magnets inside the conveyor housing attract and move ferrous material along the conveyor’s stainless steel faceplate. Optional water-tight housings can be submerged into almost any type of hot or cold liquid.

Save with Maintenance-Free Conveying

MagSlide® Conveyors are engineered for trouble-free, virtually maintenance-free operation. There’s no external belt to jam, tear, or wear out from carrying sharp, abrasive parts and scrap. No need for labor-intensive supervision. No external moving parts to fail and compromise productivity and worker safety. Maintenance is minimal, and except for the electric motor, all moving parts are totally enclosed. MagSlide® configurations include horizontal, incline, and angled models with fixed and mobile bases plus hoppers, tanks, impact plates, and other options.

Magslide® Magnetic Chip Conveyors Application Guide

• Capacities listed above are representative of laboratory conditions at 45 fpm with magnets on 12” c/c and a clean dry sliderbed. Actual capacities will vary with operating conditions, specific type of material, and the method of presentation.
• MagSlide® conveyors should be selected to handle the maximum intermittent load anticipated. If material is allowed to accumulate on the sliderbed, the magnets may not be capable of breaking material free from a pile.
• Low-Profile (MLS) Series capacities listed above are typical of horizontal applications. Medium-Duty (MSM) Series capacities are typical of incline applications.
• Dried oils and coolants can form a tacky film on the sliderbed that diminishes conveying capacity. Be sure to clean the sliderbed as necessary.
• Large material (>2”) may require magnet centers greater than 12” to prevent material from “chaining” between magnets.
• Drill spirals, wooly chips, and large scrap pieces may be impossible to convey. If in doubt, submit samples to us for evaluation.

Magslide® Low-Profile Magnetic Chip Conveyors

MagSlide® Low-Profile Conveyors capture and move light ferrous parts and scrap in tight spaces. They incorporate key design features used in our Medium-Duty Conveyors but have space-saving 3 1/8” high frames that need less than 4 inches of vertical clearance. Designed for use where space is limited and conveyed materials are relatively small, these units fit easily under press dies and at the discharge of many machine tools. They can also be used at slight inclines of up to 15 degrees in light-duty applications. See the capacity chart shown above for desired rates of production.

Magslide® Medium Duty Magnetic Conveyors – Style A

Medium-Duty Straight Conveyors are ideally suited for removing small parts, chips and scrap from machining centers throughout your plant. They come in 10”, 12”, 15” and 18” widths and are well suited for machining, milling, stamping, slitting and forming operations. For especially demanding applications, powerful Rare Earth magnets can be substituted for the standard Ceramic magnets. Style A is a simple straight horizontal or inclined conveyor to convey parts or scrap from a machine to a dumpster. See the capacity chart shown below for the desired rates of production.

Magslide® Medium Duty Magnetic Conveyor – Style B

Medium-Duty horizontal to inclined Conveyors are ideally suited for removing small parts, chips and scrap from machining centers throughout your plant. They come in 10”, 12”, 15” and 18” widths and are well suited for machining, milling, stamping, slitting and forming operations. For especially demanding applications, powerful Rare Earth magnets can be substituted for the standard Ceramic magnets. Style B is a straight horizontal to inclined conveyor to convey parts or scrap from a machine to a dumpster. These conveyors are also very commonly used in sealed submerged coolant applications or with coolant tanks included for quenching applications. Style C conveyors are available with top horizontal extensions as seen in the application photo. Both come with either a heavy duty floor support or on a mobile base.

Magslide® Medium Duty Magnetic Conveyor – Style C

Medium-Duty horizontal to inclined Conveyors with noseover discharge extensions are ideally suited for discharging over totes or scrap dumpsters. They come in 10”, 12”, 15” and 18” widths and are well suited for machining, milling, stamping, slitting and forming operations. For especially demanding applications, powerful Rare Earth magnets can be substituted for the standard Ceramic magnets. Style C is a straight horizontal to inclined conveyor with top horizontal extensions to convey parts over a dumpster. These conveyors come with either a heavy duty floor support or on a mobile base with dimensional extensions to fit your layout requirements.

Magslide® Heavy Duty Magnetic Conveyor – Style A

Heavy-Duty Magslides are usually used on heavier thicker scrap removal applications or where the volume of lighter scrap or chips is beyond the limit of the Medium-Duty conveyors. Style A conveyors are usually straight horizontal feeder conveyors under a large press bringing the scrap out to an inclined conveyor to the dumpster. They are available with both Ceramic and Neo elements. These conveyors widths come in 12”, 15”, 18”, 24”, 30” and 36” widths with flared infeed side guards. Contact Bunting® at 316-284-2020 or 800-835-2526 regarding your specific application.

Magslide® Heavy Duty Magnetic Conveyor – Style B

Heavy-Duty Magslides are usually used on heavier thicker scrap removal applications or where the volume of lighter scrap or chips is beyond the limit of the Medium-Duty conveyors. Style B has a lower horizontal infeed section and then has an inclined discharge to any height desired. The incline sections come in 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 degree increments. They are available with both Ceramic and Neo elements with the proven oil impregnated UHMW tracks. The conveyors widths come in 12”, 15”, 18”, 24”, 30” and 36” widths. Contact Bunting® at 316-284-2020 or 800-835-2526 regarding your specific application.

Magslide® Heavy Duty Magnetic Conveyor – Style C

Style C has a lower horizontal infeed section – an inclined section to the required height – then a desired horizontal length noseover discharge section – with or without a discharge diverter as shown. This style is used for extending over scrap dumpsters. The incline sections come in 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 degree increments depending on the scrap and space restrictions. The conveyors widths come in 18”, 24”, 30” and 36” widths. Contact Bunting® at 316-284-2020 or 800-835-2526 regarding your specific application.
