Non Filtering Chip Conveyors

Turbo HB

The Turbo HB is a standard conveyor used for chip removal where filtration is not necessary. The hinge belt can be used for all types of application and is the best choice for coarse and stringy chips.

Efficient Chip RemovalLNS uses specially-formed cleats to prevent curled chips from adhering to the belt, reducing wear and improving chip removal. Conveyor top cover height can be varied for special applications. Scraper cleats on the belts clean the entire surface of the bottom pan a minimum of two times per revolution.

Wear-resistant DesignSpecial abrasion-resistant alloy material is used in high wear locations, such as upper and lower curves. Belt rollers and hinge pins are hardened for long life, even in the toughest applications.

Continuous OperationOn applications where heavy chip load is expected, the conveyor is supplied with a specially designed ball detent clutch that will free all minor jams without operator or maintenance intervention.

The best choice for

• Coarse and stringy chips• Mixed material, plastic• No filtration

Options

• Air header - Small chips - Anti-adherance device

• Chip stripper bar - Stringy, bushy chips

• Variable speed control - Reduced coolant carry out

Variety of belts

For most efficient chip removal and coolant drainage, a wide variety of belt designs are essential to maximize chip removal success: dimpled and perforated.

Filtering Chip Conveyors

• Drum scraper

• Turbo MS500 Filtration to 500µ

• Turbo MH Series Filtration to 250µ or 500µ

Benefits of filtration conveyors

• Reduced maintenance to machine coolant tank

• Extended coolant life

• Improves coolant pump life

• Enables lights out operation

• Improved coolant quality to the cutting area

The LNS Drum Scraper handles fine chips with medium to light chip loads including brass, cast iron and aluminium incorporating coo-lant filtration down to 50 micron. This conveyor is ideal for machi-ning centers where fine chips are produced requiring a high level of filtration efficiency.

Scraper beltThe Drum Scraper conveyor utilises a scraper type belt to efficiently remove fine chips that are captured in the conveyor frame using a scraping action between the formed belt cleat scrapers and the bottom frame of the conveyor.

Coolant filtrationEach filter drum is automatically cleaned whenever the conveyor belt is in operation. The rotating action of the scraper belt automati-cally rotates the drum whilst the internal spray system, from a tank mounted coolant pump, to the filter drum, automatically cleans off any fine chips that are stopped by the filter mesh. These chips are then captured by the scraper belt itself and carried to the conveyor discharge.

Turbo MH Series

Thanks to this revolutionary concept from LNS: Filtration boxes are used in conjunction with a hinge / scraper belt conveyor. The Turbo MH Series of conveyors are designed to remove all chip shapes made of different material incorporating self cleaning filtration. The hinge belt removes the chips in the same way as a normal hinge belt conveyor but the use of filter boxes ensures that all chips greater than the filter box filtration level cannot pass into the coolant tank. The fine chips are continually carried out of the bottom of the conveyor by the scrapers mounted to the hinge belt. This revolutionary design ensures minimal floor space is utilized while still covering a wide range of applications and filtration needs.

Low maintenanceThe filter boxes provide particle free coolant to 250µ or 500µ (depending the type). This filtration reduces the ammount of coolant tank maintenance, extends the coolant and tooling life for cost saving operation. Each filter box is automatically cleaned whilst the conveyor is operating.

Coolant filtrationThe number of filter boxes required is related to the machine flow rate, assuring coolant flow and optimal filtration.

As the scraper bars rotate around the end of the conveyor the small chips are held against the outside frame of the conveyor and lifted onto the top of the conveyor belt.

The filter box(s) contain metal filtering screens to filter all the coolant as it passes through the box and into the machine tank ensuring only clean filtered coolant can pass out of the conveyor. The filter box is mounted between the belt flights as shown.

Large, stringy, chips are stopped and taken out by the continuous hinge belt conveyor.

All chips are discharged from this part of the conveyor

Some small chips wash through the hinge belt conveyor and fall to the bottom of the conveyor frame over time but are carried out by the scraper bars

Scraper bars scrape the bottom surface of the conveyor to gather any small chips that have fallen to the bottom of the conveyor frame

Brushes or wiper bars are used to wipe the box as the belt rotates. Any small chips that are wiped off by the brush / wiper fall to the bottom of the conveyor frame and are collected by the scraper bars

Tramp oil removal system

LNS PhaSep’s patented oil removal technology can improve metalwor-king fluid life by 100%, drastically reducing the need for hazardous waste disposal, at the same time reducing cost on replacement coolant.

The design of machine tools means that from box ways and linear ways, either grease packs or oil, contaminate coolant resulting in bacteria, foul odour, and irritants. Mechanically it destroys the tooling through the deterioration of coolant.

Oil contamination is the number one cause of metal working fluid dispo-sal. Metal working fluids lose valuable cooling and lubrication properties when contaminated with oil.

Tramp Oil Removal

PhaSep

The unique floating pick-up skims the tramp oil and coolant mix from the top of the machine sump. As the liquid moves slowly through the patented steel coalescing plates, oil droplets as small as 20µ are separated from the coolant and rise to the top of the PhaSep unit.

When the oil layer builds up sufficiently in the unit, it passes over a specially-designed weir, and is trapped away from the clean coolant. The oil can then be removed periodically through the waste oil drain.

Coolant, cleaned of 99% of contaminated oils, is returned directly to the machine sump.

LNS lexicon - Chip management systems

Coolant filtration

LNS uses 3 primary types of filtration. For coarse filtration where it is necessary to remove particles to 500µ, self cleaning filter boxes are used where flat screens are contained in removable boxes within the conveyor frame. For higher level filtration to 50µ a self cleaning filter drum is used where a screen is wrapped around a sealed drum that is contained within the conveyor frame. For very fine filtration to as little as 5µ filter bags are used, these are material sacks that need to be replaced periodically.
