Bunting to debut pair of upgraded products next month
Magnetic separation and metal detection designer and manufacturer Bunting has upgraded two products: its Liquid Magnetic Separator and the Performer Weigh checkweigher.
The models, offering improved performance for food, pharmaceutical, and ceramic industries, will debut at Pack Expo 2024 in Chicago Nov. 3-6.
The new Liquid Magnetic Separator, formerly known as the Magnetic Liquid Trap, includes advanced features for superior ferrous particle capture. Utilizing high-intensity neodymium magnets, the trap boasts a strength of 10,000 Gauss and 13 pounds of pull, capable of removing even work-hardened stainless-steel particles from liquids, pastes and slurries, according to a news release.
The new separator will be available globally in January, according to the release.
“Our upgraded Liquid Magnetic Separator sets a new standard for magnetic separation in liquid processing,” Marc Suderman, product manager for Magnetic Separation at Bunting, said in the release. “Its versatility in handling various liquids — from acidic juices to heavy oils — makes it an essential tool for ensuring product purity and safety.
“Additionally, the new self-cleaning feature is a significant update for the North American market.”
Key features include:
- 316 stainless steel construction for durability and compliance with food-grade regulations
- Pressure rating of 10 bars and temperature capability up to 248° F
- Optional features such as 150-pound flanges, water jacket and self-cleaning mechanism
Bunting’s upgraded Performer Weigh checkweigher employs Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration technology, delivering superior accuracy and repeatability compared to traditional strain gauge scales, according to the company.
“The Performer Weigh represents a leap forward in integrated inspection and weighing technology,” said Barry Voorhees, product manager for Metal Detection at Bunting. “Its combination of metal detection and high-precision weighing in a single unit streamlines quality control processes for manufacturers.”
Notable enhancements include:
- Customizable metal detector aperture for precise contaminant detection
- IP54 rating with IP66 option for increased protection against environmental factors
- High-resolution 15.6-inch touchscreen display for intuitive operation
