Pneumatic Chip / Swarf Conveyors

Mayfran's pneumatic chip / swarf conveyors provide for cost-effective collection of scrap from machining operations and transport to a central binning or processing operation.  Available in blowing- or suction-based designs, pneumatic chip conveyors offer reduced labor costs, improved cleanliness, and significantly increased uptime versus manual chip removal activities.  The systems are flexible enough to meet a wide variety of machine tool arrangements, including innovative at-the-tool design for large gantry-type machine tools.

This presentation demonstrates the possibilities of the pneumatic chip conveyor system.

The Vacuum Dynamics® system is configurable with manual or automatic pick-up stations to serve multiple machine tools.  This cost-effective system is particularly well suited for cleaning up around large, open mills, and the overhead piping system provides flexibility for changes in layout or expansion.

Chip Shredders

For operations generating longer or stringier chips, shredding at the machine tool can facilitate pneumatic chip conveyance.

Chip Wringers / Centrifuges

When using higher amounts of coolant, wringing of the chips may be needed for pneumatic conveyance; this will also increase their scrap value and recover valuable coolant.

Viavent Overhead Pump Systems

For another overhead chip handling system where higher amounts of coolant are involved, the Viavent system with local pumpback stations can fill the need.
