The treatment of chips has many advantages: they are dry and separated by type, so disposal costs are low. Depending on the material, it may even be possible to sell the chips. A system for chip treatment includes different components depending on the requirements: conveyor and collection devices, magnetic separator technology, filter and volume-reducing briquetting presses. Containers or chip silos are also required. The components can be linked to one another and operated completely automatically.
Central Chip Processing with by a lift-tip device, chip breaker, conveyor to chip centrifuge, discharge via scraper belt conveyor to containers via a swivel chute. Fluid Centrifuge for cleaning of the separated oil.
Areas of application
The chip processing system is suitable for both semi-automatic and fully automatic processing of metal chips. Chips are transported from the processing machines by automatic conveyor systems or by operating personnel with trolleys/containers. The system is used in virtually all production areas of the machining industry. Different materials (e.g. aluminium, steel or cast iron) can be processed by means of separate systems.
