Bunting Magnetics Co., Newton, Kan., has introduced a line of Grinder/Shredder Feed Conveyors designed to catch ferrous and nonferrous metal contaminants in conveyed material before they damage grinders or ruin product.
The units are designed to detect tramp metal in recycled materials as well as virgin plastics and rubber. They combine a Bunting Conveyor with any three optional Bunting Metal Detectors.
Because the conveyors can be outfitted with three different metal detectors, they can handle a range of applications. For example, when coupled with a low-profile SL-Coil or flat S-Coil Detector, both of which install directly beneath the conveyor belt, metal contaminants as small as a ΒΌ-inch nut can be detected in bulk materials at a 4-inch distance from the coil surface.
Grinder/Shredder Feed Conveyors are available in a range of standard lengths, with belt widths from 12 to 60 inches. Additional belt colors and styles are available on request. Standard are 6-inch-high side guards with wipers, designed to keep material on the conveyor.
