The Bunting FF Grate Magnet will be on display at ArabPlast 2017.
Bunting, whose European manufacturing headquarters are based in Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire, UK, has an extensive overseas network of distributors and marketing agents and the company is looking to strengthen its business on a global scale.
"In 2016, we have had great success in developing new overseas distribution channels and this has increased orders," explained Dave Hills, Bunting’s Head of Sales. "We identified the plastics sector in the Middle East as offering great opportunities. The sector is rapidly developing and we believe that our products are ideally suited to helping companies improve their production processes and product quality. ArabPlast offers us the ideal opportunity to introduce ourselves into the market."
Bunting supplies a wide range of magnetic separators and metal detectors. The magnetic separators are inserted into plastic processing lines to capture and remove magnetically susceptible metals like steel and work-hardened stainless steel. Metal detectors are used to identify and reject both ferrous and non-ferrous metal. The two technologies are used in conjunction with each other at various stages within a plastics process.
Bunting also supplies metal separation equipment for plastics recycling. In a typical plastics recycling process, the metal separation requirements are often more challenging. The Eddy Current Separator is used to separate non-ferrous metals from shredded reclaimed plastic and is commonly incorporated into a Metal Separation Module with a high strength Drum Magnet.
"At the K Show in Germany [Oct 2016], we met and appointed a number of new distributors to expand our export sales network," added Hills. "By exhibiting at ArabPlast we are demonstrating our commitment to the market. It also gives us the opportunity to understand the needs and expectations of the customers in the Middle East. To successfully export, you need to visit your target markets."
