Chip Conveyors

CHIP CONVEYORS separate the chips from the coolant / oil and transfer the separated chips to a chip bin.

• Scraper type chip conveyors:  Here scrapers are used to scrape the chips from the bottom of the conveyor, push them to the top of it & make them fall into a chip bin, thus separating them from the dirty coolant. These are used to separate steel or cast iron chips with more of flakes & less of tough coils. 
  
• Scraper type chip conveyors with Rotary drum: This conveyor is generally used to filter Small Steel  or Aluminium or Cast Iron chips / particles from the coolant / oil. The floating chips are made to settle down inside the conveyor by making the coolant pass through a rotary drum ( OD to ID ) wound with filter mesh, wherein the chips get arrested and only the clean coolant comes out. As the coolant level goes down, the chips settle down & the scrapers scrape the chips to the top & make them fall into the chip trolley. Here the chips are not only separated, but even the coolant is also filtered.
  
• Slat chip conveyors: This design of chip conveyor is used to separate coiled chips from coolant / Oil. The coiled chips are carried away by the slat belt that moves up & makes the chips fall into the chip bin.
  
• Magnetic chip conveyors: This conveyor finds its application in separating small ferrous chips from coolant / Oil . There is a polished SS top surface on which the coolant with chips falls. Below this surface a magnetic belt moves. As the magnetic belt moves up, the chips also move up & fall into the chip bin.
