FF Series Drawer Magnets: Superior Contaminant Capture in Gravity Free-Fall Applications
Capture up to 99% of ferrous metal contamination in your plastics process.
Bunting’s exclusive highly refined drawer magnets are the only temperature-compensated rare earth magnets available for integration with injection molding machines. Other rare earth drawer magnets can permanently lose their magnetic power at temperatures above 175º F. Bunting’s are guaranteed not to lose magnetic strength when bolted to feed throats operating at temperatures in excess of 175º F. Magnetic energy that strong means guaranteed durability and less downtime for you – plus reduced screw wear and fewer plugged nozzles.
Offering short lead times even on custom-designed items and ready to ship within one week after placing your order.
Bunting has a dedicated manufacturing area for FF Series Drawer Magnets, meaning that once you place your order, you’ll receive your equipment fast. With more magnetic drawer filters on plastic processing equipment than any other brand, our magnetic protection for plastics processors is the industry standard the world over.
Bunting FF Drawer Magnetic Separators are simple, heavy-duty, and long lasting. Protect your plastics application.
ALL-NEW Manual Self-Cleaning Insert for your existing FF Drawer housing
Bunting’s NEW FF-MSCI is a magnetic drawer insert designed to fit FF4, FF6, and FF8 drawer housings. Simply replace your existing drawer with our new FF-MSCI. The neodymium magnetic cartridges of the FF-MSCI slide through nylon self-cleaning wipers that are attached to the drawer insert. As the cartridges slide through the wipers, ferrous particles drop off instantly, clearly enhancing rapid contaminant removal as often as necessary. No more wiping. No more metal. Save time cleaning and maintain high production standards without installing costly new equipment.
Durable Construction
Bunting NEO FF drawer magnets feature rugged 11-gauge stainless steel housings built to support symmetrical compression loads of 10,000 pounds. The drawer gasket on these magnets are cut from Ethylene Propylene Diene (EPDM), which resists heat aging, is compression set, and is much more durable than sponge rubber.
- The NEO FF drawer utilizes temperature-compensated rare earth magnets for superior high-temperature operation.
- Units are built with welded stainless steel housings for easy cleaning and durability.
- EPDM gasket resists heat aging and compression set.
- High-torque nylon knobs resist breakage.
- Our patented No-Spill™ Slide Gate is fitted with a magnetic safety latch to prevent accidental closure in high-vibration applications.
- Stainless steel center drawer guide simplifies removal and re-installation of the magnet drawer for quick, easy cleaning.
- Most powdered colorants and resins slide off without sticking.
- Superior cartridge geometry increases reach-out and holding power.
- Robust construction prolongs cartridge life.
