Chip and Coolant Handling
Central chip handling systems based on pneumatic, push-bar, steel belt, drag, or screw conveyor designs, can reduce costs and forklift traffic by automating the collection and transport of chips from machine tools to central binning or processing systems. These systems complement the machine tool conveyor solutions we provide to create a clean and effective manner for managing your flow of scrap from metalcutting operations.
Mayfran's pneumatic chip / swarf conveyor systems provide for efficient and cost-effective collection of scrap from machining operations and transport to a central binning or processing operation. With designs based on blowing or suction technology, flexible layouts provide for further expansion while freeing up floor space from conveyors and forklift traffic.
The versatile Power-Trof® trough-type conveyor effectively conveys loose or bundled metal chips, fines, curls, turnings and strings, as well as coolant, over short or long distances. It can economically handle large or small quantities of swarf. An efficient series of one-piece, cast iron plows, mounted on a round steel shaft and pushed by a hydraulic cylinder, transports material through the trough by means of reciprocating action.
Mayfran offers a range of solutions for central chip handling systems based on steel belt, drag, and screw conveyor technology. These provide the ability to handle nearly any chip and coolant situation, transporting chips and coolant to local or central load-out, processing, or filtration systems.
