Case Study: a wood panel manufacturer in Europe achieves cleaner wood chips and downstream protection with Bunting's Inline Oil-Cooled Electro Overband Magnet

a wood panel manufacturer improves wood chip contamination control with Bunting

A wood panel manufacturer in Europe faced the challenge of removing ferrous metal contamination, such as nails and screws, from its mixture of virgin and recycled wood chips. This tramp metal posed a serious risk of damaging downstream equipment and disrupting production. Bunting provided a solution using an Inline Oil-Cooled Electro Overband Magnet.

Bunting worked closely with the customer to customize the magnet's design to fit their specific plant layout, ensuring it could be integrated into the existing process line. The implemented solution provided continuous protection by removing ferrous metal, resulting in a reduced risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime. This supports greater process reliability and consistent final product quality for the wood panel manufacturer.
