Chip evacuation is essential to ensure an efficient and safe machining process.

Benefits:

The accumulation of chips can compromise the operation of machine tools, causing damage to fundamental components such as axes, spindles or tools. This can not only lead to malfunctions, but can also damage the workpiece, reducing the quality of the finished product.

Rapid chip removal to avoid blockages and ensure continuous operation of machine tools.

Metal chips can damage the machine tool by accumulating on the pallet fixtures and in the clamping systems, causing abrasions, malfunctions and problems with the precision of the machining itself.

With an efficient evacuation system, downtime for machine cleaning and maintenance is reduced.

The elimination of chips ensures clean machining surfaces, improving the precision and finish of the part.

The chips can be collected and recycled, contributing to sustainability and reducing disposal costs.

Chip evacuation keeps the coolant fluids clean, extending their useful life and improving the efficiency of the cooling process.

What do we filter?

In metalworking, chips can come in different shapes and sizes, each with specific characteristics that influence the filtration and disposal process.

Here are the main types of chips:

Short and Dusty
Chips
Stringy
Acicular

Types of Chips

These are fragments generated during machining that can even be similar to granules or powders. These chips can infiltrate contact surfaces and mechanisms, causing abrasions, blockages and requiring frequent maintenance.

These are pieces of metal with a scaly shape of even significant dimensions generated by machining with interrupted cutting, usually generated by milling operations.

 

These are chips longer than 10 cm with a tendency to generate coils, usually generated by drilling, turning and boring operations.

These are thin and pointed metal chips, similar to small needles. Their elongated and sharp shape makes them particularly dangerous for machine tools, as they can scratch, block mechanisms and accelerate the wear of components.
