Stand Alone Metal Chip Processing system

Description of Operation - System "B"


Metal Chips from machining operations are delivered to receiving hopper (RH) from which they are withdrawn by screw conveyor (HF) for delivery to parts separator (PS) for separation of the occasional tool or part, prior to being received by a vertical bowl continuous chip wringer (CW) for extraction of residual cutting fluids. Such fluids as removed by the chip wringer flow by gravity to effluent collection sump (ES) for subsequent disposal. Dry metal chips are pneumatically expelled from chip wringer (CW) using air flow generated within the wringer by abrasion resistant fan blades located within its upper section. Pneumatically conveyed dry metal chips flow via pipeline (PP) to target box (TB) positioned above the collection container. The entire system is controlled from master control panel (CP) fitted with a programmable logic controller.
