Cross-Belt Conveyors

Bunting Magnetics Co. has developed an innovative new design for its Magnetic Cross-Belt conveyor product line. This new design features structural enhancements, an improved magnetic deep-reach circuit and tramp metal deflector shields that increase the protection of the belt. Also, this new wing design seals the edge of the belt and keeps tramp metal from snapping to the side of the conveyor frame or getting under the belt. This protection against material getting under the belt reduces any hindrance to the operation of the conveyor. As additional protection, Bunting has further surrounded the magnet being used with a heavy-box stainless steel frame. "Within any recycling facility, our Cross-Belt Conveyors will make a large impact on the efficiency of the operation in that facility," said Don Suderman, the company's product manager for material handling. "Our new magnetic circuit provides maximum separation effectiveness of tramp metal for municipal recycling and higher product purity in a shredding recycling operation."
