Hinged Conveyor

The hinged conveyor, also known as a "roller shutter" conveyor, is Micronfilter solution Micronfilter the reliable removal of chips, swarf, and small metal parts from machine tools. The hinged structure ensures mechanical flexibility and resistance to clogging, even in the presence of fibrous chips or those prone to clumping. Designed to operate both in dry conditions and in the presence of coolant, the hinged conveyor is adaptable to various machine tool configurations: drilling machines, turning centers, transfer machines, and milling machines. The robust construction, with reinforced sections at the sliding points of the scraper chains, ensures long-term reliability and reduced downtime. Ideal for intensive production with high chip generation, it guarantees a continuous evacuation flow and facilitates the management of metal scrap, helping to maintain high quality in the production process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum capacity of the Hinged Conveyor for transporting chips?

Hinged conveyor handles capacities up to 50 kg/min of wet/oily chips. Hinged system reduces clogging and vibration. Ideal for milling, turning, and lapping with frequent generation of mixed metal chips.

How does the hinged system reduce clogging in chip transport?

Hinged joint allows movement and flexibility during transport, preventing blockages caused by long/fibrous chips. Reduces mechanical stress on the chain (50% vs plate conveyor). Simplified maintenance: faster cleaning and less component wear.
