Shredder Feeder & Discharge Conveyors

Jan. 14, 2009

Grinder/Shredder Feed Conveyors catch both ferrous and nonferrous metal contaminants in conveyed material before they damage grinders or ruin product. These integrated dual-function units are designed to detect tramp metal in virgin plastics, rubber, and recycled materials and can also be used for monitoring parts.

 

They combine a Bunting Conveyor with any of three optional Bunting Metal Detectors that sense all conductive metals and have self-diagnostics for easy adjustment and reliable operation. All three detectors feature triple-coil, high-frequency metal detection systems with Product-Effect Compensation and EMI/RFI filters for high sensitivity and accuracy.

 

Because they can be outfitted with three different metal detectors to suit users’ specific needs, Grinder/Shredder Feed Conveyors can handle a wide range of applications. For example, when coupled with an economical low-profile SL-Coil or flat S-Coil Detector—both of which install directly beneath the conveyor belt—metal contaminants as small as a ¼-in. nut can be detected in bulk materials at a 4-in. distance from the coil surface.

 

Bunting high-performance tunnel-shaped C-Coil detectors are also compatible with the Grinder/Shredder Feed Conveyor, further enlarging its applications to include packaged materials as well as bulk—while providing reliable detection of all conductive metals. The Grinder/Shredder Feed Conveyor’s monitoring function provides a time-and-space-saving solution to preventing equipment damage.

 

Grinder/Shredder Feed Conveyors come in a range of standard lengths and are available with belt widths from 12 to 60 in. Additional belt colors and styles are available on request. Standard are 6-in. high side guards with wipers, designed to keep material on the conveyor, off the floor, and from getting under belts.
