Atherton Material Handling has installed a Bunting Suspension Electro Magnet at a calcium carbonate quarry in Melton, UK. The Suspension Electro Magnet removes tramp ferrous metal prior to a metal detector, reducing the number of metal detection trips and increasing productivity.
Bunting had supplied the original metal detector, a model TN77 series, which was identifying tramp metal that could damage crushers, screens, and conveyors. The metal detector was operating perfectly, but the quantity of tramp metal contamination resulted in frequent tripping, and the need to stop the conveyor for removal of the metal. Even though the metal detector’s performance was providing the ideal protection of processing plant, the frequency of metal-trips was affecting.
Bunting is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of magnetic separators, eddy current separators, metal detectors and electrostatic separators, with globally located manufacturing facilities:
