Metal chips are sequentially collected from multiple collection points, such as machine tools, by a vacuum pneumatic conveying system which transports them through pipelines to a central receiving station where they are separated from the induced air flowand discharged into a disposal container storage bin or automatic loadout system. The conveying air flow generated byamechanical blower (exhauster) is filtered prior to discharge into the atmosphere.
The vacuum pneumatic system is most effectivefor the collection from multiple locations and conveying of dry or misted (no drip) metal chips having a particle size of up to 2" (50mm).
