Chip and coolant management is a snap with custom-made Hennig chip conveyors and filtration systems.
A destination for manufacturers who simply don't have time for downtime—we're here to help make you successful.
Chip conveyors are required in machining to remove chips from the work area of a CNC machine and then processed for recycling.
Chip conveyors are used to remove chips from machine tools and put them into a collection container while also separating the chips from the coolant. Chips are removed from the machine, so it does not become jammed with chips over time.
Depending on the material and the type of chip produced, there are different types of chip conveyors with different technology: hinge belt conveyors, scraper belt conveyors, magnetic conveyors, medium filtration conveyors (Pure Flow), high-end filtration (CDF, or chip-disc filtration), and auger conveyors to name a few.
Chip conveyors present a number of advantages for companies, including in increase in labor productivity, minimizing risk of accidents, and recycling of clean coolant after filtration.
CNC coolant is contaminated by processing residues such as chips, dust, etc. and shortens the life of pumps and valves within coolant systems. In order to filter coolant from these impurities, filtration systems are used for coolant processing. This also improves your tool life and the quality of the parts being produced.
Various methods are available for cleaning coolants, including cartridge filtration, bag filters, cyclonic filters, paper filtration belts, and magnetic filtration. Learn more about coolant filtration here.
Coolants can be water-based, synthetic, or oil-based. Coolant is used in industrial production with CNC machine tools. They cool and lubricate the workpiece to be machined and thus enable economical operation.
In the CDF (Chip-Disc Filtration) process, the contaminated coolant passes through a stainless-steel medium that removes the particles and allows only the clean coolant to pass through. This can filter down to 25-30 microns of nominal filtration. The use of the above-mentioned products can filter down through spindle-type work.
