Bunting Magnetics Co., a manufacturer of conveyor systems, which is based in Newton, Kansas, has introduced its SSSC Stainless Steel Separation Conveyor to the market. The company says the separation conveyor expands its reach in the auto shredding residue (ASR) industry by allowing users to separate work-hardened stainless steel and to purify zurik fractions, for use in wire-chopping applications.
Bunting says the heart of the system is the patent-pending magnetic grid core design. The configuration of high-strength neodymium magnets allows work-hardened irregularly shaped stainless steel up to 5 inches in size to be attracted, held and extracted from the customers product recycling stream.
With the new conveyor, the company promises the customer a pure product in several applications, including insulated copper wire purification when the machine pulls out stainless steel shielding of chopped wire; cleaning wire from stainless steel contamination; and steel wire ends from clean copper.
