Wedge Magnets

Wedge magnetic separation requires minimal mounting space, meaning they are well suited to being installed in tight, narrow locations. The standard design of a wedge magnet places the magnets within a stainless steel skin to resist wear and corrosion. Wedge magnets can be designed with high-intensity rare earth magnets, which delivers the strongest possible magnetic reach and hold. Wedge magnets are versatile pieces of magnetic separation equipment, and allow for configurations such as installing multiple wedge magnets in a single large chute to enable exceptionally thorough magnetic separation. Bunting’s wedge magnets are a simple, economical magnetic separation solution.

Features Include:

  • Design allows for easy installation in difficult areas, such as narrow chutes.
  • Require minimal mounting space, allowing for extra ease in installation.
  • Stainless steel construction resists wear and corrosion.
  • Unique wedge shape helps prevent product build-up and bridging, keeping material moving smoothly through the production line.
  • Available in both ceramic and rare earth magnet configurations.

Description

The unique shape of Bunting’s wedge magnet resists bridging and diverts the product flow across the front and back collection surfaces of the magnet. Ferrous material can be captured and firmly held. This prevents it from re-entering the product stream.
Ferrous metal can cause damage to other equipment in your facility if allowed to remain in the product stream. Metal contamination grates against the metal equipment in your facility. This leads to metal-on-metal wear. This wear creates a domino effect of more metal contamination entering your product flow. And that leads to more equipment degradation down the line. The reputation of your brand may be severely compromised if metal contamination is allowed to make its way into your final product.
