Chip conveying technology
It is often the case that one and the same machine processes more than one material, producing a wide range of chip types. The ideal solution would be to advance a conveyor suitable for each of these chip types. Our combistream offers you modern conveying technologies for the most diverse chip types. Practice has shown that these three basic concepts are ideal for a large number of applications and machine types. This does not mean, however, that other chip conveying technologies can not be used in exceptional cases.
Basic concept 1
Work space solutions in the form of scraper or hinge belt conveyors with a large cooling lubricant drain above an integrated chip collector are ideal for:
- high chip volume.
- as few varying materials and chip types as possible in order to determine the chip conveyor in the best possible way.
- normal and medium degree of machine contamination due to large and rough chips or readiness for increased dirt tank cleaning in case of very fine materials.
- average maintenance expenditure of the entire system (cleaning of the machine tank according to degree of contamination, but once a month at the maximum).
| Recommended for | Material | Chip conveyor |
|---|---|---|
| Normal and medium degree of machine contamination | Steels and hard alloys, different chips from long to short | Hinge belt conveyor (BK10) |
| High degree of machine contamination | Brass, aluminium and other materials producing very fine chips | Scraper conveyor (BK11) |
Basic concept 2
Work space solutions in the form of scraper or hinge belt conveyors with a large cooling lubricant drain feeding directly through a slotted screen into an integrated pre-separator and with automatic chip removal via a scraper conveyor are ideal for:
- high chip volume.
- the most diverse range of material and chip types for effective pre-separation.
- medium machine contamination levels, also and especially from fine and floating chips; this is to increase the intervals between cleaning work on the dirt tanks.
- average maintenance expenditure of the entire system (cleaning of the machine tank according to degree of contamination, but four times a year at the maximum).
| Recommended for | Material | Chip conveyor |
|---|---|---|
| Medium degree of machine contamination | Steels and hard alloys, different chips from long to short. | Hinge belt conveyor (BK20) |
Basic concept 3
Workspace solutions in the form of scraper or hinge belt conveyors with a large cooling lubricant drain feeding directly into the machine tank combined with a scraper conveyor for cleaning the tank base (mostly in conjunction with full flow filtration systems) are ideal for:
- high chip volume.
- frequently changing materials, diverse chip types which can be removed in the best possible way using basic concept 3.
- high degree of machine contamination due to fine chips and sludges.
- specific for brass and aluminium, where required plastics.
- low maintenance expenditure (cleaning of the machine tank according to degree of contamination, but at the maximum twice a year).
| Recommended for | Material | Chip conveyor |
|---|---|---|
| All materials, all chip types, frequently changing processing. | Steels and hard alloys. Very different chips from long to short. Frequent material change. | Machine room: Hinge belt conveyor Dirt tank: Scraper conveyor (BK30) |
| Only fine and floating chips. | Brass, aluminium and other materials producing very fine chips. | Machine room: Scraper conveyor Dirt tank: Scraper conveyor (BK31) |
