Chip conveyor for uninterrupted production<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Safe and clean transportation of chips & co.<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In many companies, full chip spaces cause machine downtimes that can cost several thousand euros per hour.<\/strong> K\u00d6BO ECO>PROCESS develops chip conveyors which, depending on the design, can remove up to several tons of chips per hour and return cooling lubricant. This keeps the material flow uninterrupted<\/strong> and eliminates expensive downtime.<\/p>\n\t\t

Chip conveyors and why you need them<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

A chip conveyor transports the metal chips<\/strong> from the machine bed conveyor and takes them automatically<\/strong> to the central collection or processing point.The cooling lubricant remains in the cycle and the chips are cleanly separated for further processing. Depending on the design, our systems not only reliably remove metal chips, but also wood chips, plastic waste or punching waste. This makes them suitable for a wide range of production environments<\/strong> beyond the metal sector. Without controlled removal, several problems arise in production:<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

\u2794<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Deposits on tools:<\/strong> Chips build up on cutting edges and shorten tool life.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

\u2794<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Dirty machine rooms:<\/strong> Chips collect in the work area and hinder the production flow.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

\u2794<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Clogged pumps:<\/strong> Contaminated cooling lubricant blocks the delivery and reduces the cooling capacity.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

\u2794<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Downtime during machining:<\/strong> Blockages in the chip space lead to expensive production interruptions.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

\u2794<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

More work for staff:<\/strong> Frequent manual cleaning costs time and ties up skilled workers.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

A chip conveyor prevents these problems, stabilizes processes<\/strong> and ensures the<\/strong> productivity<\/strong> of entire lines.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Scraper conveyor<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Function<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Carrier chains move along the bottom of the trough and push short chips or sludge forwards in a controlled manner. The design is robust and compact.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Applications<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

- Short metal shavings
- Grinding sludge
- Briquettes
<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Details<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Hinged belt conveyor<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Function<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Segmented steel plates interlock and form a belt that reliably collects and continuously removes long and twisted chips. Wear-resistant plates ensure a long service life.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Applications<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

- Mixed chips

Details<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

- Reliable pick-up even with long chips
- High load capacity
- Ideal for high chip volumes
<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Screw conveyor<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Function<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A rotating screw moves the chips axially in the trough. It saves space and transports chips continuously, even on steep conveyor sections.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Applications<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

- Fine chips
- Intermediate transportation of chips from e.g. extraction stations, chip bunkers or similar systems
<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Details<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

- Very space-saving
- Flexible installation (horizontal, rising, vertical)
- Good choice for tight spaces

Advantages of our chip conveyors<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \t\t\t
<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t

High conveying capacity<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Depending on the design, our systems transport between a few kilograms and several tons of chips<\/strong> per hour. This keeps the production area clear and prevents backlogs, even in three-shift operation.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Clean coolant return<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Recirculation rates<\/strong> of up to<\/strong> 95 %<\/strong> significantly reduce cooling lubricant consumption and save several hundred liters per month<\/strong>. The efficient recirculation of fluids reduces the consumption of resources and supports sustainable, environmentally friendly production.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
<\/path><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t

Durable construction<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We use wear-resistant steels, some with hardnesses of up to 400 HB<\/strong>. As a result, critical components achieve service lives of several years even under abrasive conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t

Space-saving integration<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our chip conveyors can be designed with low overall heights<\/strong> and also fit into tight spaces. Compared to conventional single-stage conveyor systems, they require up to 30 % less floor space<\/strong> and make much better use of the available space.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
<\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t

More safety in operation<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Manual removal of chips is no longer necessary. This reduces the risk of cutting injuries by over 80 % and prevents interference with running machines. Closed conveyor systems prevent chips and liquids from escaping, keeping work areas clean<\/strong> and safe.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t
<\/path><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t

Maintenance-friendly design<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Wear parts can be replaced in less than 30 minutes<\/strong>. Your maintenance team maintains the system independently, which significantly reduces unplanned downtimes.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

How chip conveyors pay off for your business<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The cost of a chip conveyor depends on the design, length and conveying capacity<\/strong>. Scraper conveyors are often the cheapest solution, while hinged belt conveyors for high volumes require a higher investment. The decisive factor is the economic<\/strong> benefit: Every machine downtime avoided quickly saves several thousand euros per hour. By recirculating cooling lubricant, you also reduce consumption costs. An investment in chip conveyors therefore pays for itself within a few months in many cases.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
