Bunting developed a very high intensity magnetic separator that enabled the separation and recovery of fragmented stainless steel.  The HISC and SSSC Magnetic Separators are used widely in the recycling industry.  This installation was processing waste window frames with the aim of recovering the various types of plastic and the metals.  Stainless steel (from door handles, locking mechanisms and hinges) is a real problem, damaging plastic shredders and granulators and is removed using the Bunting Stainless Steel Separator.  Once installed, the Magnetic Separator was found to have the added benefit of extracting printed circuit boards.
