PRODUCT OF THE WEEK
Get the Metal Out
Hi-temp Machine-Mounted All-Metal Separators for extruders, injection and blow molders

Bunting® Hi-Temp Machine-Mounted All-Metal Separators provide efficient rejection of both ferrous and nonferrous metal contaminants and fit where headroom is limited. Designed especially for choke-feed applications where the product is at a higher than normal temperature, they can bolt directly to the in-feed of processing equipment and support the weight of hoppers and bins. A fast pneumatic rejection mechanism aided by precise timing results in accurate cycling and conservation of good material.
  • Separators install directly above infeed.
  • Rugged housings allow mounting other equipment.
  • Precise timing results in accurate cycling.
  • Fast pneumatic reject mechanism reduces good product waste.
  • Slide gate rejection design eliminates contaminant "leaks".
Bunting® offers a variety of metal detector models specifically designed for free-flowing gravity-fed products, pneumatically conveyed materials, materials on conveyor belts, and even liquids. --- Bunting Magnetics

PROBLEM SOLVER SPOTLIGHT
Tolomatic electric screw actuators improve accuracy
A leading packaging equipment manufacturer recently faced the problem of how to compensate for inconsistent bag dimensions on its popular modular bag filling and sealing system. Since repeatability is critical to the filling and sealing operation, engineers sought a solution that would increase accuracy, flexibility and productivity for packagers. They found their solution in four electric screw linear actuators from Tolomatic that were modified to precisely position incoming empty bags. The bagging system now automatically compensates for variations in bag dimensions and eliminates manual setup when changing bag sizes. --- Tolomatic

Unilift Pallet Handler
ONTARIO, CA: UniLift™ enables both the transport and ergonomic positioning of a standard GMA pallet without straddling it. "After several years of design, research and development, we have achieved our goal - a product that enables a worker to pick up a standard GMA pallet or skid without straddling it, transport it to their work area, and ergonomically position the load - all with one product," reports Bob Clark, VP of Sales and Marketing for Bishamon. "The unique deployable outrigger design gives UniLift™ the handling and steering characteristics of a standard pallet jack." The UniLift™ is designed with electronically deployable outriggers that are operator actuated after the pallet is raised in transport mode. This unique feature enables the operator to lift the pallet or skid up to 34" in height, providing unparalleled ergonomics in a non-straddle pallet transporter. --- Bishamon
