High temperature drawer magnet removes ferrous contaminants

Bunting Magnetics has introduced a high temperature version of its FF series drawer for the plastics industry. The most important feature of this new unit is its ability to perform at 350°F temperatures inside the drawer.

The unit is most often installed above the opening of the molding machine and plastic resin passes through the drawer to remove ferrous contaminants.

This ensures a cleaner, higher quality product, the company says, and also protects the molding machine from damage due to tramp metal. In addition to the magnet upgrade, the Lexan viewing window has been replaced with a polycarbonate that will hold up under the higher temperature conditions.
