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.
Central Chip treatment with lift-tip device, milling breaker, scraper belt conveyor, chip centrifuge and distribution slide
Chip distribution for Steel, Stainless Steel and Brass through manual task with swarf trolleys, chip drying for brass with chip centrifuge, distribution to truck containers
Collecting Conveyor with discharge into screw conveyor for continuous chip dispensing, drying of chips in a centrifuge and distribution into four containers
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.
