The National VD40 compact pneumatic chip wringing system is an economical and effective method for drying and conveying metal chips where there is limited floor space.
The model VD40 chip wringer can be placed directly under the discharge of a single machine tool conveyor or the VD40 can serve multiple machine tools as show in the following diagrams and photographs. The pneumatic air flow developed by the chip wringer provides a means for conveying "dry" metal chips for a maximum distance of 30-40 feet (9m-12m) to a container.
