Bunting, a global leader in magnetics solutions, providing a wide range of magnetic separation, metal detection, and conveyor automation equipment, has appointed Peter Buckley as its new technical sales engineer for general magnetic separation and metal detection equipment. The company is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of magnetic separators, eddy current separators, metal detectors and electrostatic separators. Bunting has two European manufacturing facilities in the UK, one in Redditch, just outside Birmingham, and the other in Berkhamsted.
For more than 16 years, Peter Buckley has worked on a wide range of material separation projects for the processing, materials handling, and recycling sectors. This includes experience of selecting optimum magnetic separators, metal detectors, and sorters to solve specific metal contamination and separation problems. His experience stretches from large electro-overband magnets and small plate magnets to sensor-sorting machines.
In previous sales and management roles, Mr Buckley has successfully developed business in new markets for both UK and European based companies. His new role with Bunting offers an opportunity to use his many years of experience to expand the company’s sales of magnetic separators and metal detectors in specific sectors including plastics and food manufacturing.
