Series II Swarf Conveyor
Application
Series II conveyors are free standing units providing a totally integrated solution for both swarf management and coolant filtration. They are suitable for fine swarf, and short chips of aluminium, brass, steel, and cast iron - and applications including machining centres, lathes and special purpose machines.
Principle of Operation
The Series II unit is of rugged, modular construction with standard, self cleaning filtration systems of 200 microns allowing coolant throughput of 300 L/min.
When in operation, heavy metal chips settle to the bottom of the conveyor and move up the conveyor incline to be deposited into a suitable receptacle. Contaminated coolant is filtered through a continuously rotating drum, which itself incorporates a removable, stainless steel filter medium.
To ensure the filter medium maintains a consistent level of filtration and coolant throughput, the drum incorporates an internal backwash system that continually blasts coolant from within the drum as it rotates. Once the coolant is filtered, it is either recirculated back into the system or pumped/transferred into an independent high pressure coolant system.
The filter is self cleaning and requires minimal maintenance.
Controls
Klockner Moeller switch incorporating Forward/Jog/Reverse/Emergency Stop. The switches interface with the machine tool control and can either be operated independently or by the machine, to suit customer requirements. Standard specification is with the machine tool operating the conveyor.
Productivity Enhancements
A range of productivity enhancements are available including machine coolant pumps, high pressure coolant system, improved filtration levels, additional coolant tanks (utlising existing pumps if required), oil skimmer, coolant chiller unit, spray/wash gun, cover wash down, and, mist and fume extraction units.

Series IlI Swarf Conveyor
Application
Though offering the same productivity benefits as Series II conveyors, Series III conveyors are essentially two conveyors in one. Free standing units, they are a totally integrated solution for both swarf management and coolant filtration, suitable for fine swarf, and both short and long chips of aluminium, brass, steel, and cast iron. Applications include machining centres, lathes and special purpose machines.
Principle of Operation
The Series III unit is of rugged, modular construction with standard, self cleaning filtration systems of 200 microns. It incorporates a heavy duty 38mm (1.5in) pitch, steel hinged, slat type belt; and a 38mm (1.5in) scraper type belt, within the same conveyor casing.
Generally, the belt type conveyor handles a large percentage of the swarf, however, should small chipped swarf or particles be present, they will pass through the belt conveyor and be deposited on the base of the unit, where the scraper type conveyor will remove them.
Similar to the Series II conveyor, contaminated coolant is filtered through a continuously rotating drum, which itself incorporates a removable, stainless steel filter. To ensure the filter medium maintains a consistent level of filtration and coolant throughput, the drum incorporates an internal backwash system that continually blasts coolant from within the drum as it rotates. Once the coolant is filtered, it is either recirculated back into the system or pumped/transferred into an independent high pressure coolant system.
The filter is self cleaning and requires minimal maintenance.
Controls
Two Klockner Moeller switches incorporating Forward/Jog/Reverse/Emergency Stop. The switches interface with the machine tool control and can either be operated independently or by the machine, to suit customer requirements. Standard specification is with the machine tool operating the conveyor.
Productivity Enhancements
A range of productivity enhancements are available including machine coolant pumps, high pressure coolant system, improved filtration levels, additional coolant tanks (utlising existing pumps if required), oil skimmer, coolant chiller unit, spray/wash gun, cover wash down, and, mist and fume extraction units.

Gravity BandfilterUnit
Application
Cromar clarifiers remove any type of solid particle contamination from water-based coolants and light viscosity liquids. Applications include: grinding machines, honing machines, lathes, machining centres, drilling & boring machines, spark erosion machines, hardening machines, cold rolling mills and washing equipment.
Benefits
They create a number of key productivity advantages such as improved surface finish of components; minimum service costs; highly efficiency - thus longer service life of coolant and lower tooling costs; and rapid payback.
Principle of Operation
Contaminated coolant is fed onto a continuous reel of filter fabric. The fabric is carried by a special wire belt, which permits a continuous flow of clean coolant through into the coolant storage tank below. Increasing deposits of contamination on the filter fabric gradually cause the media to go ‘cloudy’, resulting in an increased in the depth of liquid in the trough.
This increase in level actuates an adjustable float switch, which in turn operates the reel drive motor, to convey clean filter fabric into the filtration area. In this way the renewal of the filter fabric is achieved automatically in direct relationship to the flow rate and degree of contamination. The used filter fabric, including deposits of contamination, is carried away into a receptacle positioned adjacent to the unit and can be removed for emptying without interrupting the filtration process.
Filter Fabric Specification
Widths available: 480mm (18.9in), 710mm (28in) and 1040mm (40.9in). Grades available: 60 microns down to 15 microns

Magnetic Swarf Conveyor
01
01 Gravity Bandfilter Paper Feed
Magnetic Type Conveyor
Application
Cromar magnetic swarf conveyors are suitable for CNC lathes and machining centre applications - ideal for the management of small ferrous materials in all general machining applications.
Principle of Operation
The conveyors incorporate sequential running magnets attached to hollow bearing roller chain, driven by an externally mounted motor assembly. Swarf is moved along a stainless steel skin, which protects and seals the magnets against coolant and oil contamination. When the magnets approach the swarf discharge point, they move away from the stainless steel skin, thus decreasing their influence on the swarf, allowing it to drop into the collection receptacle.
Magnet Specification
Magnets are manufactured from strontium ferrite ceramic material magnetised to saturation remanence (3700). They are capable of the continuous handling of ferrous materials within general machining applications under normal operating conditions.
Controls
Basic controls include: Stop/Start/Reverse push button box incorporating flying lead and plug to accommodate the electrical socket within the machine tool, or any other electrical specification designated by customer.
Paint
Supplied finish painted to suit customer’s colour specification. Productivity Enhancements
A range of productivity enhancements are available including integrated coolant tank, coolant pumps and machine control interface, as well as any special requirements requested by the customer.

Value Added Servicescontinued
This best value combination of programmed audits undertaken by highly trained specialists provides an excellent overview of a property portfolio on which to base informed management decisions.
Condition Surveys
Atkins can provide planned or reactive condition surveys with a variety of scopes ranging from high level condition indicators to in depth structural inspections and party wall management. The strength in depth of Atkins, with cost management specialist subsidiary Faithful + Gould, provides a fully flexible service to suit all customers’ requirements.
The range of surveys can investigate specific reactive issues or inform specifications for capital investment projects, forward maintenance planning, budget management or estates asset management considerations.
Whole Building Risk Assessment
To provide the assurance that properties comply with current statutory obligations and provide a safe working environment for employees, Atkins can facilitate a comprehensive risk assessment survey programme comprising:
Fire Risk Assessments – to comply with the Fire Safety Order Regulations.
Health & Safety Risk Assessments – to comply with the Workplace Regulations.
Asbestos Surveys & Management – to comply with the Control of Asbestos Works Regulations.
Based on the survey results a Management Action Plan is provided encompassing all issues identified with guidance on the priority and cost for completion. Support can be provided in the management of the works and in specialist areas such as radon gas surveys and remediation.
5. Business Continuity Planning
Almost 50% of UK businesses do not have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place, yet almost 20% claim to have been affected by disaster in the past.
Atkins has years of experience in crisis management and can provide the expertise to prepare a contingency plan that reflects your business requirements and provides a ‘contingency policy’ against the unexpected.
6. Document Management
To enhance the requirement to provide a document storage capability within the CAFM, Atkins can provide a flexible document management system with full indexing and search facilities.
The Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) centralises document storage, saving on actual space and providing a ‘paper vault’ in electronic form. This will allow your business to operate under a collaborative environment where the advantages to business continuity and process enhancement are measurable and immediate in all cases. The use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) searches within pdf documents creates the ability to immediately find and share any document. This makes the cataloguing and search functions a quick win.
7. Supply Chain Management
Atkins Supply Chain Solutions are able to provide a holistic solution to customer Supply Chain needs through two distinct elements of its service: Supply Chain Manage, focused on the operational delivery and strategic development of suppliers and Supply Chain Consult, where current supply chain provision is assessed and opportunities for improvement identified.
Atkins builds real knowledge on performance capability through its own market leading assessment tool, ‘Quantum’. The assessment is based on 10 different competence areas:
Financial Service Delivery Customer Focus QSE Supply Chain People Management Corporate Responsibility Innovation Business Strategy
8. Project Management
Atkins has extensive experience of project management from procurement advice to full project delivery, whether for asset replacements such as HVAC or lifts, minor building maintenance or major alterations and reconstruction.
Atkins breadth of experience is not limited to management of hard services but also encompasses property churn with all associated space planning and utilities alterations.

BUSINESS SUPPORT FROM START TO GROWTH
SOME REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO START A BUSINESS...
AND HOW ENRG HELPS OVERCOME THEM.
1Economy
One common fear about starting a new business is the economy. If economic activity is at a general low, it is assumed by many that
the timing is probably wrong to start a business. If economic activity slows, companies may
decide to reduce employment levels and save money rather than invest. Such actions can
cause a downward cycle, worsening a recession. Businesses need to invest for an economy to regain momentum and the economy needs
new businesses.
2Uncertainty
Another fear that prevents entrepreneurs from taking the big plunge is uncertainty. Unlike going to work in a regular job and
taking home your salary at the end of each month, owning a business usually means
no guaranteed income. Paying yourself nothing at all could be an unrealistic prospect. Wondering if you can support your family is a fundamental reason to question whether you
should consider starting up in business.
3Indecision
apply to a new business may prevent you from
entrepreneurs know they want to be self-employed but are unsure about what type of business they would like to start. Leaving a
stable career can be disconcerting and simply starting a business without the right skills
and knowledge needed to succeed is a legitimate fear to have.
To overcome this
ENRG can help you develop a clear strategy and business plan and where
available ENRG will advise on grants and assist in the application process.
Not all businesses fail during an economic lull, opportunities open
and with few jobs available, the government are encouraging
new start-ups.
To overcome this
In business, your income is determined by what you produce and/or sell. At ENRG we have the best advice and guidance on getting your product/
service out onto the market through our comprehensive marketing
workshops.
To overcome this
The ENRG programme takes you through a diagnostic process to
ensure you are doing the right things for the right reasons.
Business planning and strategyAt ENRG we understand how important translating your idea into a business is. From creating your business plan to assessing your short term and long term goals, we are here to help you from the beginning.

6Loss of BenefitsFor some people moving from
unemployment to self-employment can
to start a business can cause hardship
to support little or no income. Some self-employed people might have to wait as long
as 12 months for any tax credits due.
To overcome this
starting a business doesn’t have to be expensive and there are many things you can do to keep
costs at a minimum in the early days.
To overcome this
Flexibility around working hours and location can mean that in many cases
having a business means you get to see more of your family. Part of the
ENRG programme is to seriously consider this and the potential
implications.
To overcome this
The ENRG team can help you through this process. The project is supported by Job Centre Plus and detailed advice
is available.
