Magnetic separator manufacturer Bunting assembled a large metal separation module at their Redditch facility to conduct pre-shipment material tests. The Metal Separation Module was destined for a UK recycling plant operated by one of the largest metal recycling companies in Europe. The Metal Separation Module included three Vibratory Feeders, two Drum Magnets and an Eddy Current Separator, along with surrounding walkways, stairwells and legs for easy installation into the plant. In operation, a metal mix is fed onto the standard-intensity Drum Magnet via a Vibratory Feeder, which separates strong magnetic metals. The remaining metal mix flows via a second Vibratory Feeder onto a high-intensity Rare Earth Drum Magnet to separate weakly magnetic metals such as fragmented stainless-steel. The magnetic-free metal falls onto a third Vibratory Feeder and onto the belt of an Eddy Current Separator, which separates non-ferrous metals. I photographed and videoed the equipment and the material tests for use in a blog and press release on the Bunting website – Eddy Current Separator Pre-Shipment Material Tests
