An advanced machine tool, high pressure coolant delivery and automated loading and unloading are sure to improve productivity – as long as chips don’t back up into the cutting area or create bottlenecks.
That’s why it’s so important to choose a chip conveyor that properly matches your process. This is especially true when using multi-functioning machining centers and/or a variety of materials. Quite often the best solution is a filtering chip conveyor. Here’s why:
- Filtering chip conveyors from LNS can handle a wide range of chip sizes and types, from stringy stainless steel to fine brass, aluminum and much more. This means you can accommodate a wide range of customer demands.
- Filtered machine coolant stays cleaner longer, saving both initial coolant costs and coolant disposal expense.
- Self-cleaning filter boxes remove particles as small as 50 microns so even fine chips won’t cause wear or damage to the pumping system.
- Because fine chips are filtered out, the coolant tank doesn’t accumulate debris that requires shutting down the machining process and incurring labor costs to clean out the tank.
- Filtering chip conveyors that use self-cleaning filter boxes require minimal maintenance as there are no filtering media to replace or become clogged.
- Models are available to fit most standard machine coolant tanks and take up no more room than a standard hinge belt conveyor.
- LNS designs, builds and stands behind every filtering chip conveyor it sells, which means expert application assistance and global technical support are always available.
