Bunting, a global expert in magnetic separation and metal detection equipment, announces the launch of two upgraded products: the Liquid Magnetic Separator and the Performer Weigh checkweigher. These enhanced models will debut at PACK EXPO International 2024 in Chicago this November in Booth N-5041, offering improved performance for food, pharmaceutical, and ceramic industries. 

The new Liquid Magnetic Separator, formerly known as the Magnetic Liquid Trap, builds upon its predecessor's success with 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. The new Liquid Magnetic Separator will be available globally starting January 2025.  

"Our upgraded Liquid Magnetic Separator sets a new standard for magnetic separation in liquid processing," said Marc Suderman, Product Manager for Magnetic Separation at Bunting. "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 of the Liquid Magnetic Separator include: 

  • 316 stainless steel construction for durability and compliance with food-grade regulations 
  • Available in 2", 3", and 4" line sizes 
  • Pressure rating of 10 bars and temperature capability up to 248°F (120°C) 
  • Optional features such as 150 lb flanges, water jacket, and self-cleaning mechanism 

Bunting's Performer Weigh checkweigher also receives significant upgrades, integrating advanced metal detection with precise weighing capabilities. The system employs Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration (EMFR) technology, delivering superior accuracy and repeatability compared to traditional strain gauge scales. 

"The Performer Weigh represents a leap forward in integrated inspection and weighing technology," explained 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 to the Performer Weigh include: 

  • Customizable metal detector aperture for precise contaminant detection 
  • IP54 rating with IP66 option for increased protection against environmental factors 
  • High-resolution 15.6" touchscreen display for intuitive operation 
  • Multiple reject options and dual reject bins for efficient product handling 
  • Capacity to process up to 225 pieces per minute 

Both products will be on display at Bunting's Booth N-5041 during PACK EXPO 2024, taking place from November 3 to November 6 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
