KNOLL: Scraper Belt Conveyor K

KNOLL K Type Scraper Belt Conveyors are used for transporting metal chips and small parts.  Widely used in many machine tool systems all over the world offering benefits that serve shopfloors day in and day out with trouble free operation.  Some of the common uses and benefits of KNOLL K Type conveyors are:

  • Use on individual and interlinked machine tools
  • Central use for waste disposal from machine groups and entire production areas
  • Suitable for short chips (e.g. steel, brass, aluminum, copper, cast)
  • Suitable for wet and dry processing

Properties

 Benefits
Safety slide coupling Effective overload protection
Extraction of the cooling lubricant from the trough High delivery rate possible
Edge filter in the trough in front of the suction line Good chip pre-separation
Simple layout Easy to service
Customer-specific design Best-possible addressing of requirements

 

Main Function

  • Collection of the chips/parts
  • Transporting of the chips/parts to the discharge point on the container bottom

Additionally for wet processing

  • Collecting of the cooling lubricant
  • Separating of chips and cooling lubricant
  • Buffering of cooling lubricant
  • Transporting of the cooling lubricant for processing, return pumping station or machine

Continuous Scraper Belt

  • 2 roller chain strands that are connected to scraper bars
  • Positively-driven chain circulation
  • Tensioning through easy adjustment of the bearing retainers

Combination Possibilities
For other requirements, on request we can combine the conveyor with

  • Filter systems for cleaning the cooling lubricant and supplying the machine tool
  • Chip reducers for generating pumpable or absorbent chips
  • Return pumping stations for transporting chips and cooling lubricant to the central plant
  • Extraction stations for transport of chips to the central plant

KNOLL Systems for Chip Processing

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.

Properties

  • Chip drying is essential to ensuring safe transportation on public routes
  • Volume reduction reduces storage and transportation costs
  • Recovery of chips and cooling lubricant protects the environment and reduces costs
