Overview
Chip container: More than just a storage location
A chip bunker is a high-capacity storage unit designed for metal chips generated in metalworking and machining operations. It collects and temporarily stores the chips before they are discharged in a controlled manner to disposal or recycling systems. Its robust design enables organized, space-efficient storage, reduces manual handling and helps optimize chip disposal and recycling processes. By integrating the chip bunker into an automated conveyor system, metal chip handling can be further streamlined and automated.
Our chip bunkers are available as individual units or as modular multi-bunker systems, allowing flexible adaptation to specific storage capacities and operational requirements. We also provide the complete steel structure, including safe access systems and maintenance platforms, ensuring convenient and efficient operation, inspection and maintenance.

Application
When chips become a problem - the biggest challenges
Metalworking companies produce large quantities of metal swarf every day, which requires efficient storage and disposal. Inadequate storage leads to various challenges:
➔
Space requirements: Unorganized storage takes up valuable production space.
➔
Handling: Manual or unstructured processing of the chips leads to increased workload.
➔
Disposal costs: Non-optimized processes can increase transport and recycling costs.
➔
Safety risks: Uncontrolled chip storage entails potential hazards.
Companies are under increasing pressure to comply with stricter environmental regulations and higher safety standards. Efficient chip management solutions are required to meet emission requirements, minimize accident risks and ensure legally compliant disposal.
Structure
The chip container consists of a robust steel construction and can be individually adapted to a volume of up to 9 m³. If a larger storage capacity is required, several individual bunkers can be combined to form a modular unit. A vertical slide plate is located at the bunker outlet, which controls a precise lifting spindle with geared motor. This enables controlled emptying and efficient loading of the material onto trucks or wagons.
Functionality
A chip container collects metal chips from production, collects them in a closed system and passes them on to disposal or reprocessing systems in a controlled manner. Filling is usually carried out via upstream scraper conveyors, which ensure an even supply of material. By opening the pusher plate, the material flows out of the container via the sloping floor and goes directly onto trucks or wagons, enabling efficient and smooth disposal.
The advantages of a chip container
Cleanliness and safety
Closed storage minimizes chips and dust deposits, creating a hygienic and tidy working environment that reduces accidents.
Efficient chip processing
Structured collection and storage enable targeted preparation of the chips for further processing or disposal.
Sustainable use of materials
Separating the chips by type facilitates recycling, reduces material losses and promotes resource-saving processes.
Optimum machine utilization
A continuous and uniform chip feed increases the performance of presses and conveyor systems.
Precise material separation
Closable openings in the base of the scraper conveyor ensure that different types of chips are separated by type.
Accurate weight recording
An optional fully automatic weighing system enables the loading weight to be determined precisely.
Efficient loading technology
Electronically operated slide openings facilitate direct loading onto means of transport such as trucks or rail wagons.
Cost savings in personnel and disposal
Automated filling and emptying reduces personnel costs, while optimized collection volumes minimize disposal costs.
