Minimize the loss of good products. Remove up to 99% of ferrous metal contamination.
Bunting offers a specialized line of gravity free-fall metal detectors designed for customers in the food, powder, bulk, grain, and milling industries. Bunting metal detectors automatically detect and reject all ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steels. Bunting’s gravity fall metal detectors are designed to swiftly reject contaminated material to remove it from your product stream. Our reject mechanism minimizes the loss of good products while ensuring contamination is thoroughly removed.
Bunting’s gravity free-fall style metal detectors work without interrupting your process, keeping your operations timely and your product metal free. If metal contamination remains in your product, especially in the case of those working in the food industry, severe harm to your customers could happen if they ingest a product containing metal contamination. In addition to the potential of your customers being harmed, your brand reputation could be severely harmed.
Install torpedo magnets in Just-In-Time hopper loaders for up to 98% removal of tramp metal contamination.
Torpedo magnets from Bunting are designed to be used “Just-In-Time” (JIT) hopper loaders, and deliver a high standard of magnetic separation in a compact size and shape.
A torpedo magnet consists of a formed stainless steel ring, which is welded to a high-energy rare earth magnetic cartridge. The bottom of the torpedo magnet is a live magnetic pole that allows tramp metal to collect and hide, preventing tramp metal from wiping off and reentering the product stream.
A torpedo magnet is installed so that it hangs in the center of a Just-In-Time loader’s glass tube. This method of installation positions the torpedo magnet so that it can efficiently capture tramp metal before it reaches your plastic molding machine. The torpedo magnet can be inspected for tramp metal buildup simply by looking through the loader’s glass tube. Then, the magnet can be removed and cleaned as required. The material level sensor, which is typically mounted on the outside of the Just-In-Time loader’s glass tube, will not be affected by the torpedo magnet.
Torpedo magnets are available in either 1” or 5/8” diameter high-energy rare earth magnetic cartridge designs. The diameter of the ring (A) should be larger than the hopper opening. We stock four sizes to fit most Just-In-Time loaders. Choose our 5/8” diameter torpedo magnets for applications where the sight glass is 2 ¼” in diameter or less. For sight glasses larger than 2 ¼”, select 1” diameter torpedo magnets.
Torpedo magnet deliver high performance magnetic separation that is suitable for small spaces.
Our specialized equipment protects your product integrity.
In addition to concerns of contaminated product, metal contamination can cause severe damage to the other equipment in your facility. Even a small amount of contamination can set off a chain reaction that leads to a greater and greater amount of metal contamination in the long term. This metal contamination can go on to cause severe damage to equipment in your facility that is not only costly to repair, but is also extremely expensive due to the downtime that occurs as a result.
Bunting gravity fall metal detectors protect your product integrity, your customers, your reputation, and your equipment. Our gravity free-fall style metal detectors for the food, powder, bulk, grain, and milling industries conform to all industry-specific safety requirements and deliver superior metal detection.
quickTRON™ 07 RH (Round Housing)
The quickTRON™ 07 is a highly hygienic metal detector for inspection of material in gravity free-fall applications. It offers fully automatic detection and rejection of metallic contaminants from the product stream without process interruption.
Special Features:
- Patented powerLINE coil technology incorporates an integrated sensing tube into the coil construction, allowing product to flow closer to the coil for greater sensitivity.
- Integral inlet and outlet stubs with Jacob connections shield the coil from environmental interferences, delivering superior reliability and requiring less vertical distance for installation.
- Sanitary reject housing is designed for easy cleaning. Reject flap is removable without tools.
- Inserting a sealing element readies the unit for CIP (Clean In Place) with water.
- Features 07 controls, the most advanced metal detection controls, delivering superior results with greater ease of use. Remote mounted controls available. Also available with the 05 control package.
- ATEX explosion proof rating available, hazardous environment rating available.
QuickTRON™ 05 (Flap or Cowbell Style Diverters)
The quickTRON™ 05 uses a CR coil for reliable metal detection and is a cost-effective option for the examination of bulk material in gravity free-fall applications.
Special Features:
- Flap option is recommended for powders, fine granular, or dry products.
- Cowbell option is recommended for abrasive, sticky or non-powdered products.
- Equipped with simple 05 controls. Remote-mounted controls available.
- Stainless steel, wash-down, or painted versions available to suit your operating needs.
- Food and sanitary finishes available to fit your production safety regulations.
- ATEX explosion-proof rating available. Hazardous environment rating available for flap style units.
