Chip separator CS
Application KNOLL chip separators CS are devices for separating short chips, which the conveyor of a hinged or slat conveyor cannot hold back. • Use as pre-separator for reducing the chip carryover to a downstream cooling lubricant (CL) filter • Use as independent cleaning unit for low purity specifications of the CL • Suitable for chips from a density of 2.7 g/cm3 in water-based CL
Description Main functions Separation 1. The lift pump conveys the chip/CL mixture tangential to the chip separator 2. The centrifugal force conveys the chips outwards (primary vortex) before they go down into the chip bunker 3. A secondary vortex rises upwards and the CL leaves the CS for CL treatment Draining 1. Cyclical opening of drain valve 2. Accumulated chips are flushed from the chip bunker onto the conveyor belt
