Bunting Permanent Crossbelt Overband Magnet

Newton, Kansas-based Bunting has developed three designs of its Permanent Crossbelt Overband Magnet, with different magnetic polarities, to suit an expanding range of applications. The magnet:

  • is mounted over conveyors to separate ferrous metal from nonferrous magnetic material and commonly is used in the recycling, mining, quarrying and wood industries
  • generates a magnetic field by charging ferrite or rare earth magnet blocks mounted inside a stainless steel box with a steel back bar, which forces the magnetic field to propagate through and out of the bottom of the magnet box, which faces down toward a conveyor transporting bulk materials
  • is offered in a single-pole design that removes general tramp metal from a range of products in various applications
  • is offered in a twin-pole model that enables capturing smaller ferrous particles
  • is offered in a tri-pole model that is ideal for deeper troughed conveyors and higher material burdens depths and can capture smaller ferrous metals that are difficult to separate with a single-pole design

France-based Pellenc ST says it has harnessed its expertise in artificial intelligence to propose a new solution for paper sorting called CNS (central nervous system) Brain. The new electronics and software platform:

  • is designed to integrate future sensors and technologies and enables users to keep their sorting performance up to date with the latest developments
  • features new materials classification software called Advanced Classification, which makes it possible to separate more complex materials, such as polyethylene terephthalate bottles from trays or paper from cardboard
  • enables the integration of a Profile Detection option, a new sensor for detecting carbon blacks and inert materials
  • is available as an upgrade or as standard on the Mistral+ Connect and Compact+ sorters
  • is quick and easy to integrate, requiring no additional hardware

London-based Greyparrot has made its next-generation Analyzer unit available. The unit is designed to inspect material recovery facility (MRF) streams and is positioned above conveyor belts. The next-generation Analyzer unit:

  • uses cameras to capture images and produce data on material flows
  • is made of lightweight recyclable materials and uses 10 percent to 15 percent less energy than the previous model
  • gives MRF operators 100 percent visibility into the composition of the materials being conveyed through their plants
  • transitions from a fully metal chassis to a lightweight polycarbonate unit that uses metal bracing and other recyclable materials
  • includes a major software update that is fully compatible with the current hardware version and enhances the widely used alerts feature
