Overview
Metal chips are a byproduct of nearly every machining operation, and managing them efficiently is crucial for maintaining a clean, productive, and cost-effective manufacturing environment. Whether you're dealing with large volumes of chips, facing high disposal costs, or trying to recover expensive coolant, we offer various solutions from industry leaders like Indass, COMETEL, and Eidos Works to solve your specific challenges.
Benefits of Metal Chip Processing & Recycling
- Increased Efficiency: Automated chip handling and recovery processes reduce labor and downtime.
- Cost Savings: Compacting and coolant recovery significantly cut disposal and coolant expenses.
- Sustainability: Our solutions support environmentally responsible manufacturing by reducing waste and promoting recycling.
Chip Crushing & Compacting Systems
Once chips are collected, reducing their volume is critical for optimizing storage and transportation. Crushing and compacting systems compress chips into smaller, denser forms, making them easier to handle and recycle.
-
Features
- Volume reduction up to 90%
- Space-saving briquetting technology
- Compatible with different chip materials
-
Recommended Approach
- COMETEL: Compacts loose metal chips into dense briquettes, significantly reducing volume and enabling the recovery of cutting fluids for reuse in machining.
- Eidos Works: The EVTM-565-LB briquetting machine processes over 63 gallons/hour, reduces chip volume by up to 90%, recovers coolant, and adapts automatically to chip types.
Coolant Recovery & Filtration Systems
Coolant is an expensive resource in metalworking. Our filtration and recovery systems separate coolant from chips, allowing it to be reused in the production process, cutting down on costs and waste.
-
Features
- High-efficiency coolant extraction
- Reusable coolant reduces costs
- Integrated with chip compactors for seamless processing
-
Recommended Approach
- COMETEL: Offers advanced filtration systems that separate coolant from metal chips during compaction, making it easy to reuse.
- Eidos Works: Integrates coolant recovery into its chip compaction solutions, ensuring minimal waste and maximum fluid reuse.
Metal Chip Recycling Systems
The final stage of chip management involves preparing chips for recycling. After compacting and filtering, chips are ready to be melted down and reintroduced into the production cycle, completing the recycling loop.
-
Features
- Automated chip processing for recycling
- Crusher systems for optimal chip sizing
- Environmentally friendly recycling solutions
-
Recommended Approach
- COMETEL: Provides metal chip crushers and transport systems that efficiently prepare chips for recycling or disposal, optimizing your metal recycling efforts.
Automated Chip Handling & Processing
Automating the chip handling process reduces labor costs and ensures efficient, consistent processing of metal chips. These systems handle everything from loading and centrifugation to discharge, improving productivity and preventing cross-contamination.
