All metal machining processes produce metal chips that must be disposed. In the past these chips were mostly collected in containers on site and then transported away using either a fork lift or manual labor. This collection and transport system for chips and shavings requires not only valuable time and manpower; it also poses injury hazards and contributes to an untidy workplace.

Systems are needed that automatically remove the chips from the individual machining stations by suction and convey them even over large distances if necessary to a central location for subsequent processing or disposal. This process must be flexible, space-saving, fast, safe, and clean to allow automation of chip disposal..

The chip disposal system from Keller Lufttechnik meets all these criteria and provides the perfect solution for chip disposal. It can be used for machining with cutting fluids or for all dry machining processes. The decentralized overhead chip disposal system is capable of sucking chips from any number of machining stations and conveying them to their destination. The chip disposal system can be installed in almost any production facility and can even be retrofitted for existing production facilities.

The entire system features a modular design and can be easily,
quickly and economically adapted to new and changing production
environments. The system comprises a central station, a chip separator with filter insert and filter, blowers, multiple collecting stations and the conveying pipe system. The specific components to be used are determined by the specific project conditions. Our experienced product and process managers at Keller Lufttechnik will design an individual solution for you that takes into account all  relevant factors. The result is a complete solution with highest  customer benefit.
