Metal Detection, magnetic Separation, and Conveyors

Remove Contaminants | Protect Equipment | Keep Production Moving

Adams Engineers, in partnership with Bunting, provides effective solutions for metal detection and separation for both plastic processing and recycling industries.  From pellet to part, our systems are designed to detect, separate, and eliminate metal contamination, so that your production lines remain efficient and free from harmful contaminants. Whether you're working with virgin resins, engineered compounds, or recycled materials, our equipment protects critical machinery like extruders, granulators, shredders, and molding machines from damage that can lead to costly downtime and product defects. 

With our magnetic separators and metal detectors, you can remove harmful metals and improve the quality of your products. Plus, our solutions fit easily into your existing production lines, helping you run efficiently and safely while meeting industry standards.

Our systems are used in injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and recycling operations to:

- Remove ferrous and non-ferrous metal contamination
- Ensure consistent product quality and compliance
- Minimize downtime, maintenance, and scrap
- Streamline material flow between stages of production

Protecting Equipment and Improving Product Quality

Metal contamination in plastic processing can damage your equipment and lower product quality. Bunting's magnetic separators and metal detectors find and remove metal pieces, helping your machines run longer and keeping your products safe.

Industries Served

Plastics Recycling

Magnetic separation and metal detection systems are essential in plastics recycling to remove ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants from PET, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, and other post-consumer or post-industrial materials—ensuring cleaner flake, pellet, and regrind output.

Plastic Reprocessing

In facilities that manage in-house scrap or off-spec products, Bunting equipment removes metal contaminants before reusing plastic in the manufacturing process. This helps cut down on downtime.

Wire & Cable Recycling

Our systems improve the separation of copper and aluminum from insulation and ferrous debris in wire recovery operations. This process increases metal yield and protects chopping and granulating equipment from damage.
