4. The choice is easy. Regardless of the type of material you want to move,
Bunting® conveyors can handle it.
2 Material Handling
Bunting offers America’s most complete line of permanent
magnetic conveyors and conveyor components. With over
50 years of experience handling just about any wholly or
partially ferrous product or scrap. Even plastic assemblies
with minimal ferrous components in them, like circuit
breakers, can easily be conveyed with the magnetic rails
with positive control. You can also save valuable floor space
by moving materials vertical or up and over a machine.
Magnetic conveyors help maintain a steady, uninterrupted
flow of material and product often at higher rates than are
practical with non-magnetic units.
Bunting can custom design systems or tie several
conveyors together for a total material handling solution.
We can assist your plant engineers by providing you 3-D
models and drawings to fit into your plant layout.
Bunting conveyors have been enhancing plant efficiency for
decades. There is simply no better way to handle a wide
range of ferrous parts. And for those who do not require
magnetics but still want superior durability, Bunting
manufactures nonmagnetic models that have the same
well designed features and engineer support.
5. Parts Retrieval Conveyors for De-burring Bowls
Delivering operational flexibility these parts retrieval conveyors are ideal for removing ferrous parts from de-burring
and finishing vibratory bowls.
Magnetic Lawnchair Conveyors (MLC)
Designed for conveying steel parts from under machine presses, they have been specially designed to automate
scrap and parts removal. There is no longer the need to have to struggle with heavy, hard-to-handle totes plus it
also eliminates the common problem of part and scrap overflow on the production line.
3
Material Handling
n Permanent magnetic head pulleys reach deep into bowls and
“grab” ferrous parts out of the de-burring media.
n The permanent magnetic conveyor takes the ferrous parts and
conveys them up and over the bowl rim. Then, it discharges
the parts into a bin or tote.
n Plate or loop demagnetizers can be installed in the conveyor
frame itself before the part is discharged or in a discharge
chute.
n Available in a more economical manual adjustable unit or more
automated with screw actuators that raise, lower and tilt the
unit with a push button controller. They come with a mobile
base to easily move the unit between multiple bowls.
n Parts or scrap are magnetically held to the belt and magnetically
transferred to the incline up and out from under a press.
n They can be run along the side of a die and be feed by multiple
Low Profile Conveyors up to a scrap dumpster.
n Powered brushes are recommended under the discharge pulley
where heavy concentrations of oil or small slugs are present.
n Optional skid plates are available where lower in-feed elevations
are required.
n Two models are available in single and double belts:
• The Single-Belted MLC Conveyors are de- signed for
applications involving parts or scrap 2’ in diameter or larger.
• The Double-Belt MLC Conveyors are designed for applications
where smaller parts and knockouts are encountered.
6. Mag-Slide Conveyors - Heavy Duty
4 Material Handling
Built to handle the tough jobs, dirty and oily parts, jagged or abrasive scrap, and other punishing materials that
could damage or jam conventional belted or steel hinged conveyors are no challenge for Bunting’s ruggedly
constructed MagSlide® conveyors.
■ 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.

horizontal extensions to convey parts over a dumpster.
■ Optional mobile bases are available.
Style D
■ This Magslide® low-Profile Magnetic Chip Conveyors captures and
moves light ferrous parts and chips 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 dis
charge of many machine tools.
8. Standard Frame Conveyors (SFC)
6 Material Handling
Bunting® Pre-engineered Magnetic Standard Frame Conveyors are the “Conveyor of Choice” for making your
plant more productive and profitable. Standard Framed Conveyors are used for conveying your ferrous parts
such as bolts, nails, stamped parts or assemblies around the plant, from one machine to the next operation or
to stabilize part in feeding applications and to convey larger ferrous scrap out of a press over to a dumpster.
They are a very economical choice, thanks to low initial cost, low maintenance, and long-term durability.
You can also save valuable floor space by moving materials vertical or up and over a machine. Magnetic
conveyors help maintain a steady, uninterrupted flow of material and product often at higher rates than are
practical with non-magnetic units.
Vertical Nose-over “SC” Conveyors
