Automated Chip Handling

Tailor-Made Chip Handling Systems for Modern Manufacturing

All solutions are developed based on the customer’s processes, materials, and production goals. The result is stable material flows, high system availability, and reliable performance – precisely engineered to meet your requirements.

Why Automated Chip Handling?

Automated chip handling provides stable and predictable handling of metal chips from CNC machines and machining centres to central collection. By combining chip conveyors, chip crushers and chip centrifuges, long and tangled chips are reduced, cutting fluid is separated and chips are transported without manual handling.

A complete chip handling system reduces the risk of downtime, overflowing bins and manual intervention while maximising machine utilisation. The result is higher availability, improved flow control and more cost-efficient chip handling from start to finish.

Typical Components in an Automated System

Swarf & Chip Conveyors for continuous transport from machines to central systems
Chip Crushers for effective volume reduction of long and tangled chips
Chip Centrifuges for liquid separation and maximum chip drying
Cutting Fluid Filtration for purification of cutting fluid prior to reuse
Central Systems with automatic container emptying for minimal handling

Smarter Chip Handling for Modern Industry

Automated Chip Flows That Elevate Production

When chip flows are handled automatically and adapted to machines, materials, and capacity requirements, a smoother and more predictable production is created. Controlled flows reduce the risk of downtime, overflowing bins, and manual interventions—whilst machine capacity is fully utilised. The result is higher availability, better flow control, and a more cost-effective process from start to finish.
