Swarf Processing

Large quantities of metal chips are produced in a high production metal working plant. By continuous removal of the chips the productivity of the plant can be improved considerably, because the machine tool operator does not waste his time removing the chips he produces as a by-product.

An economical removal system for chips and recovery of cutting fluids does, however, require tailor-made systems.

The chips are collected and conveyed away from the machine tools by means of specially adapted conveyors. Bushy swarf is crushed to short chips. Wet chips are centrifuged and cutting fluids recovered and cleaned. The process should be continuous and requires a minimum of manual work.

The solution for efficient and economical chip handling will vary from company to company, depending on shop layout, chip volume and the properties of the chips. Lubriserv has experience and know-how to provide the solution, which is the most economical just for your company, either it is a matter of single products or complete chip processing.
