What Is a Scrap and Chip Conveyor?

Click to view +

Chip conveyor systems are prevalent on CNC machines either as part of the machine or as an accessory. The primary purpose of a chip conveyor system is to remove scrap, or chips, produced by the cutting tool. Also called a scrap conveyor, a chip conveyor is typically operated using a various conveyor control systems positioned adjacent to the conveyor. Chip conveyors must be extremely reliable, as maintenance downtime and loss of production can be expensive.

What Is a Chip Conveyor?

Most manufacturing processes require a type of chip conveyor to collect metal chips or other waste generated during production. The chip conveyors are integrated into manufacturing equipment like CNC lathes, mills, stamping presses, and other machines to convey scrap and chips to a waste receptacle.

Functions

CNC chip conveyors have the following functions:

  • Remove scrap material from the machine tool
  • Keep industrial facilities clean, safe, and efficient for workers
  • Decrease the risk of metal scraps coming into contact with machinery/motors, which may result in costly repairs

Applications

Metal chip conveyors can be found in the following applications:

  • Machining and Grinding of all types
  • Recycling
  • Casting
  • Forging
  • Heavy-duty stamping
  • Primary metal Processing Machines

Types of CNC Chip Conveyors

MC3 Manufacturing carries several types of conveyors to meet specific needs. From hopper conveyors to scrap conveyors, they cover it all. Their standard features include:

  • Coolant Tanks
  • Powder coating
  • Style customization
  • Support legs
  • Overload protection
  • Chutes
  • Simple to complex Discharge Systems

Here is an overview of the chip conveyors we offer at MC3 Manufacturing.

  • HINGED BELT CONVEYOR

    Hinged Belt Conveyor

    Our hinged belt conveyors process light and medium-weight metal scraps, though they can be customized for large, heavy chips. These conveyors are often gravity-fed and inclined, so metal chips fall down an enclosed chute into a storage bin below. A hinged scrap conveyor is capable of filtering coolant discharged by the machine tool. Our precision pans and innovative steel hinges eliminate gaps between belt segments, making our hinged belt conveyors more reliable and effective than traditional belt conveyors.

    Features

    • Standard configurations: 1.5” and 2.5” pitch chain (4”, 6” and 9” pitch available for large scrap)
    • Heavy gauge construction
      Wear-resistant tracks
    • Lubricated, case hardened rollers
    • Custom designs available

    Options

    • Plain, perforated, or pimpled pans
    • Wear resistance
    • Impact resistance
    • Pumps and filtration
    • Removable tail wraps
    • Cleanout trays

    Applications

    • Stamping
    • Machining and Grinding
    • Sawing
    • Laser cutting
    • Recycling

  • MAGNETIC CONVEYOR

    Magnetic Conveyor

    MC3’s magnetic chip conveyors separate ferrous and non-ferrous waste, making it easier to recycle or dispose of different types of metals. These fully enclosed systems protect the chain, magnets, and gear drive from scrap contamination while maintaining a low-profile presence in your facility.

    Features

    • Ceramic 5 magnets
    • Submersible construction
    • Oil-filled UHMW tracks
    • Spring-loaded take-up

    Options

    • Ceramic 8 or rare earth magnets
    • Manganese slider bed
    • Nitronic 60 slider bed
    • Rigidized slider bed
    • Coolant tank
    • Pumps and filtration

    Applications

    • Stamping
    • Machining
    • Parts handling
    • Sawing (ferrous parts)
    • Wet and dry applications

  • DRAG OUT CONVEYOR

    Drag-Out Conveyor

    Our drag-out conveyors provide a cost-effective method of removing tiny chips from a machining operation, which includes filtering fine chips from coolants. The bottom of the conveyor’s chamber is abrasion-resistant, so the equipment stays in good condition even while handling abrasive particles.

    The drag scraper removes impurities from the coolant, depositing them in the appropriate discharge area. The coolant is delivered to its ultimate destination.

    The FilterMaster™ is a conveyor we offer that has two conveyors: a drag-out chain steel belt to handle large, heavy scraps and a lower drag-out system to convey fine chips. The FilterMaster™ has a drum filter equipped with a backwash system that continuously cleans the drum, as well as a viewing window and coolant system.

    Features

    • Chip stripper
    • Heavy gauge construction
    • Wear-resistant tracks
    • Notched cleats
    • Custom design options

    Options

    • Magnetized bottom
    • Box or drum filters
    • Coolant tank
    • Pumps and filtration
    • Abrasion resistant materials
    • Stainless steel

    Applications

    • Machining
    • Sawing
    • Wet and dry applications
    • Fines and small chips

  • SCRAP CONVEYOR

    Scrap Conveyor

    MC3’s scrap conveyors are facility-wide, turnkey systems that can withstand harsh manufacturing environments and even offer longer lifespans. These hinged steel belts are ideal for both large and small scrap. They’re smart conveyors monitored by human-machine interface (HMI) software.

    Options

    • 4”, 6”, and 9” pitch chain
    • Belt widths from 12” to 96”, available in 6” increments
    • Open or closed frames
    • 3” or 4” diameter flanged wheels on case hardened rails
    • Fluid collection
    • Automatic lubrication
    • Interface with scales, presses, and other equipment
