Bunting Magnetics Co has used 3-D solid model technology to design a new line of beltless MagSlide™ Chip and Parts Conveyors to handle sharp, abrasive parts and scrap that can damage conventional conveyors with belts. Permanently lubricated drive chains move permanently charged high-energy ceramic or rare earth magnets inside the conveyor housing. These magnets, in turn, move ferrous materials along the conveyor's heavy-gauge stainless steel slider beds. Bunting MagSlide Conveyors are built to be economical to operate and economical to maintain.
The rugged twin-roller drive chains that hold and move the conveyor magnets travel in oil-impregnated Bunting SlideTrack™ channels made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that provide continuous lubrication. Friction and noise are minimized. To further extend chain life, built-in oil fittings permit manual or automatic supplemental lubrication.
MagSlide Conveyors are CAD engineered and manufactured on advanced CNC punching, milling, and turning equipment for precision fit and long-term reliability. Models include horizontal, inclined, and angled units with both fixed and mobile bases, as well as low-profile conveyors. Except for the electric motor, all moving parts are totally enclosed. Optional watertight housings can be submerged.
