How It Works
metal chip wringers (centrifuges)

Wet metal chips enter the centrifuge through the feed inlet hopper (1) and delivery chute (2) from which they are uniformly distributed across the surface of the rotating bowl (3), aided by feed distribution vanes. Newly arrived wet metal chips move outward across the rotating bowl surface, discharging onto a rotating, cylindrical wedge wire drainage screen element (4). New metal chips move onto the screen surface displacing chips which have previously arrived. Separation of cutting fluids occurs as chips pass over the screen surface. Dewatered metal chips report to the solids discharge chute (5) from which they are normally collected by a conveyor. Cutting fluids passing through the drainage screen flow downward through liquid collection chute (6) for separate collection.
