Wet Chips & Turnings

Description of Operation - System "A"

Metal Chips from machining operations are delivered to receiving hopper (RH) from which they are conveyed by a hinged steel belt conveyor (AC) to a vibrating screen (parts separator) (VS) for separation of the occasional tool or part. Chips passing through the screen report by gravity to a horizontal bowl continuous chip wringer (centrifuge) (CW) where residual cutting fluids are extracted and discharged to effluent collection sump (ES). Dry metal chips are discharged via chute (CC) to a container. The entire system is controlled from master control panel (CP) fitted with a programmable logic controller.

Description of Operation - System "A" Options

• A1 Roll Over Cart Dumper: automatically lifts, rotates and dumps metal chips into system receiving hopper (RH).
• A2 Dry Chip Discharge Conveyor: elevates dry metal chips to permit the loading of larger containers.
• A3 Swivel Chutes: permit the distribution of dry metal chips into either of two roll off containers or trucks.
• A4 Conveyorized Effluent Sump: fitted with a small drag conveyor which automatically reclaims fine particulates which have settled from extracted cutting fluids.
• A5 Diaphragm Pumps: deliver drained or extracted cutting fluids to a central collection station.
