Chip separator

Effective separation of solids for stable processes

Small chips, big impact: If metal chips are not reliably removed from cooling lubricants, the entire production process suffers. The chip separator from KÖBO ECO>PROCESS separates chips precisely and reliably through physical separation – this relieves downstream filter systems, prevents blockages and measurably reduces downtimes.

Chip separator

Clear flow instead of chip jam

A chip separator separates coarse metal particles such as steel, cast iron or aluminum chips from contaminated process fluids, usually cooling lubricants (emulsions or oils). The separation principle is based on gravity: the chips settle on the floor in a calm flow zone and are automatically discharged.pre-separation without sedimentation via a slotted screen surface on the floor is also possible, particularly for light, possibly floating chips or where space is very limited.the pre-cleaned liquid then flows into downstream filter units – cleaner, more evenly and without unnecessary wear.

Chip separator from KÖBO ECO>PROCESS

As a component of our cooling lubricant filtration systems, the chip separator from KÖBO ECO>PROCESS takes over the first cleaning stage and reliably protects and relieves downstream filter systems from coarse solids. Thanks to its design, it can be easily integrated into new or existing systems.

How it works: From the inlet to the clear liquid

A chip separator reliably removes coarse solids such as metal chips from contaminated cooling lubricants. The liquid is fed evenly into the inlet area and flows through a calming zone in which heavy particles settle to the bottom by gravity or are passed through a slotted screen. A conveyor system – such as a scraper conveyor – automatically transports the separated chips out of the system. The pre-cleaned liquid is then either fed to a downstream filter system or returned directly to the production cycle.

Typical applications

  • Machining & grinding: The mechanical processing of workpieces produces fine to coarse chips that must be reliably removed from the cooling medium.
  • Drilling, turning, milling: Chips are constantly produced in series production. A chip separator protects machines and filters from overloading and premature wear.
  • Metal processing in the automotive, aviation and tool industries: These sectors work with high precision requirements and process-critical lubricants and coolants. A stable filtration process is a must here.
  • Recycling processes with coarse chips: The shredding and sorting of metal residues produces heavily contaminated media. The chip separator supports the reusability of liquids and improves the environmental balance.

Advantages of our chip separators

Reliable coarse particle separation

Flow-optimized geometry, physical sedimentation and/or a sieve effect effectively remove coarse chips. This reduces the load on downstream filter systems and improves overall filtration.

Protection of the system components

Pumps, valves and pipes are protected against abrasive wear by the upstream separation. This increases the service life and reduces unplanned downtimes.

Extended service life of cooling lubricants

Chips that are removed early keep the medium clean for longer. This significantly reduces the costs for replacement, disposal and refilling. In addition, the separator container also increases the coolant retention volume, which has a positive effect on the circulation rate.

Higher process reliability and quality

A stable cooling circuit improves the controllability of the processes and ensures consistently high processing quality with reduced susceptibility to faults.

Modular and retrofittable design

Our chip separators can be flexibly adapted to different systems, feed rates and space conditions – and can also be easily integrated as a retrofit.

Low maintenance and economical

Thanks to automated discharge, robust design and easy accessibility, maintenance costs are reduced. The investment usually pays for itself in a short time.
