Horizontal High-Capacity Swarf Centrifuge for Industrial Chip Handling Systems

The HD100 metal swarf & chip centrifuge is a horizontal high-capacity solution designed for efficient centrifuging of cutting fluid at very large chip volumes of up to 5,000 kg/h in industrial chip handling systems. This powerful centrifuge features variable speed control, electronic soft start and automatic discharge, separating coolant with a residual moisture content of 2–4% from large volumes of metal chips and swarf. With its horizontal design and all components easily accessible, the HD100 enables fast cleaning and delivers maximum operational reliability during 24/7 operation. A robust and vibration-stable design for central installations with extreme flow requirements.

Key Applications

  • Efficient fluid separation from large volumes of metal chips and swarf in central handling systems
  • Pre-treatment prior to briquetting, melting or further processing
  • Installation in automated production lines with high flow rates
  • Processes where extreme operational reliability and fast cleaning are critical

Benefits

  • Very high capacity – up to 5,000 kg/h
  • Horizontal design with low operating costs and easy service access
  • Variable speed for optimized separation across different materials and flow rates
  • Electronic soft start and braking minimize mechanical load and enable short stopping times
  • Fast cleaning and automatic discharge for maximum availability
  • Robust and stable design for demanding 24/7 installations
  • All components are easily accessible for service
  • Balanced operation ensures quiet and vibration-stable performance
  • Manufactured in Sweden – built for the most demanding industrial environments
System Integration

HD100 can be installed as a standalone unit or integrated into larger central chip handling systems together with conveyors, crushers, briquetting equipment, and fluid recovery systems. The high capacity and automatic discharge make the centrifuge ideal for continuous flows with large chip volumes.

The efficient fluid separation results in lower residual fluid in the chips, which increases material value and reduces cutting fluid consumption. HD100 is robust, service-friendly, and easy to integrate into both new and existing installations.

Design

HD100 is a horizontal high-capacity centrifuge built for demanding industrial chip flows. The rotating drum with wedge-wire screen efficiently separates cutting fluid, whilst the robust steel construction and hardened wear surfaces ensure long service life during 24/7 operation.

The machine is equipped with variable speed, soft start, and efficient brake, providing optimised separation and short downtimes. Automatic discharge after each cycle minimises maintenance and makes cleaning quick and simple.

Operation

Chips are fed into the HD100's horizontal drum where they are accelerated outward against the wedge-wire screen. Cutting fluid is pressed through the screen and collected, whilst dewatered chips are conveyed onwards to the discharge point.

The high rotational speed combined with variable speed control provides optimal separation even at high flow rates. The drum empties automatically after each cycle, minimising spillage, enabling rapid material changes, and delivering a stable and clean process.

HD100 typically delivers 2–4% residual moisture content.

Accessories & Options

HD100 is delivered as a complete unit and requires few accessories. The following options can be used to customise the installation:

  • Scrap separator before the centrifuge when the feed contains longer chips or solid pieces
  • Custom connection to feeding conveyor, depending on system layout
  • Stands and support structures adapted for height, placement, or service access
  • Collection vessels or piping for returned cutting fluid
  • These options make it easy to integrate HD100 into both new and existing chip handling systems without affecting the machine's function or capacity.

Technical Specifications

HD100 is a horizontal high-capacity centrifuge with fixed performance characteristics, designed for industrial chip handling systems processing very large volumes of metal chips. The model is engineered for continuous operation, efficient fluid separation, and rapid cleaning, and is particularly well suited for central installations with high demands for reliability and long service life.
