Bunting Magnetics

Remove, Transport, and Elevate Abrasive Ferrous Material

Bunting® MagSlide® Magnetic Slide Chip and Parts Conveyors are built to handle the tough jobs. Dirty, oily parts, jagged, abrasive scrap, and other punishing materials that could damage or jam conventional conveyors are no challenge for Bunting’s 3-D CAD-designed, ruggedly constructed slide plate conveyors.

They are ideal for use anywhere you need to transfer ferrous chips, turnings, and small parts from lathes, mills, or stamping presses or from slitting, forming, and other metalworking operations. Chain-driven, permanently charged high-energy Ceramic magnets inside the conveyor housing attract and move ferrous material along the conveyor’s stainless steel faceplate. Optional water-tight housings can be submerged into almost any type of hot or cold liquid.

Save with Maintenance-Free Conveying

MagSlide® Conveyors are engineered for trouble-free, virtually maintenance-free operation. There’s no external belt to jam, tear, or wear out from carrying sharp, abrasive parts and scrap. No need for labor-intensive supervision. No external moving parts to fail and compromise productivity and worker safety. Maintenance is minimal, and except for the electric motor, all moving parts are totally enclosed. MagSlide® configurations include horizontal, incline, and angled models with fixed and mobile bases plus hoppers, tanks, impact plates, and other options.

Magslide® Magnetic Chip Conveyors Application Guide

• Capacities listed above are representative of laboratory conditions at 45 fpm with magnets on 12” c/c and a clean dry sliderbed. Actual capacities will vary with operating conditions, specific type of material, and the method of presentation.
• MagSlide® conveyors should be selected to handle the maximum intermittent load anticipated. If material is allowed to accumulate on the sliderbed, the magnets may not be capable of breaking material free from a pile.
• Low-Profile (MLS) Series capacities listed above are typical of horizontal applications. Medium-Duty (MSM) Series capacities are typical of incline applications.
• Dried oils and coolants can form a tacky film on the sliderbed that diminishes conveying capacity. Be sure to clean the sliderbed as necessary.
• Large material (>2”) may require magnet centers greater than 12” to prevent material from “chaining” between magnets.
• Drill spirals, wooly chips, and large scrap pieces may be impossible to convey. If in doubt, submit samples to us for evaluation.

Magslide® Low-Profile Magnetic Chip Conveyors

MagSlide® Low-Profile Conveyors capture and move light ferrous parts and scrap in tight spaces. They incorporate key design features used in our Medium-Duty Conveyors but have space-saving 3 1/8” high frames that need less than 4 inches of vertical clearance. Designed for use where space is limited and conveyed materials are relatively small, these units fit easily under press dies and at the discharge of many machine tools. They can also be used at inclines of up to 60 degrees in light-duty applications.

Magslide® Medium-Duty Magnetic Chip Conveyors

Medium-Duty Conveyors are ideally suited for removing small parts, chips, and turnings from machining centers throughout your plant. They come in a variety of standard lengths and widths and work equally well for machining, milling, stamping, slitting, and forming operations. For especially demanding applications, powerful Rare Earth magnets can be substituted for the standard Ceramic magnets.

Medium-Duty MagSlide® conveyors come in two versatile configurations. Type A Straight Frame MagSlide® Conveyors can be mounted horizontally to transfer parts between chutes, bins, and other conveyors…or inclined to elevate and transfer parts to containers or successive operations. Type B Angled-Incline MagSlide® Conveyors can capture and transfer material dropped from machining or stamping operations to containers or other work areas.
