Separate Metal in Gravity Free-Fall Applications for Recycling and Plastics
Bunting’s gravity feed metal detectors detect and reject metal contamination without process interruptions, so that your operations are efficient and dependable. Whether you are working in plastics manufacturing or plastics recycling, Bunting’s metal detectors will provide you with the highest standard of metal detection. As a result, you will be able to enjoy a high-quality end product that boasts an exceptional level of purity. A high-purity plastics product maintains your brand reputation and provides your customers with an optimal end product.
In addition to benefitting your product integrity, Bunting’s gravity feed metal detectors protect the other equipment in your facility. If metal contamination is allowed to move through your production line, it can cause severe damage to equipment such as injection molding equipment, extruders, nozzles, grinders, or mixers. If equipment is damaged, not only will you be forced to spend a great deal of money in order to make necessary repairs, but you will also lose a great deal of profit as a result of downtime.
Reduce cost by up to 20%. Highest Sensitivity.
Protect your equipment, your profits, and your plastics purity with Bunting’s gravity style metal detectors for the recycling and plastics industry.
