In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, every minute of machine uptime counts. For CNC operators and plant managers alike, the struggle to maintain clean and efficient workstations is real. Metal chips and swarf generated during machining often pile up, disrupt coolant flow, jam components and trigger emergency stops. These seemingly minor disruptions can lead to major losses in production time and tool life.

One of the most overlooked but critical solutions is effective chip management. By installing a Chip Conveyor for a CNC machine, manufacturers ensure uninterrupted operation, improve machining efficiency and reduce costly downtime.Whether it is a centralized or single machine solution, you’ll find everything you need for effective chip management ahead.

Uninterrupted Operation and Efficient Chip Removal

A dedicated Chip Conveyor keeps your CNC work area clear. Instead of pausing production to remove machining debris manually, the conveyor transports chips away from the machine in real time. This reduces operator intervention, prevents clogging and enables longer uninterrupted machining cycles. With consistent chip removal, CNC machines maintain optimal cutting conditions, resulting in improved surface finish and reduced cycle interruptions.

Reduced Maintenance and Minimized Downtime

Efficient chip removal is not just about cleanliness – it directly protects your machine’s internals. Accumulated chips can damage covers, wiring and coolant pipes. Over time, this leads to wear and tear and costs downtime. A Chip Conveyor automatically handles metal chip removal and keeps internal components cleaner and cooler, minimizes manual maintenance and extends both machine and tool life.

Chip Conveyors Offered by Lex Technoaid

Lex Technoaid offers a specialized range of Chip Conveyors engineered to support uninterrupted CNC operations and efficient swarf handling. Each conveyor type is built for specific chip types, machining requirements and shop floor constraints.

Hinged Belt Conveyor

Best suited for handling long, stringy chips and high-volume debris. The hinged steel belt transports chips smoothly and reliably across CNC machining setups involving mixed materials. These conveyors are designed for flexibility and they are available for widths starting from 150 mm onwards

Hinged Belt Conveyor Handles chips from 50–500 kg/hour, managing both wet and dry chips effectively.

Scraper-Type Chip Conveyor

Designed to collect fine particles, broken chips and sludge. This conveyor scrapes coolant-laden chips along the bottom of the trough and is ideal for cast iron machining and grinding and compact chip loads. Scraper width starts at 150 mm, making it adaptable to various setups.

Magnetic Chip Conveyor

For ferrous chip applications, Magnetic Conveyors use internal magnets to attract and lift steel or iron particles through a sealed path. This conveyor is ideal for tasks such as gear cutting or milling cast iron. Magnetic conveyors can be provided with rare earth magnets, ferrite magnets or even a combination of both, depending on the application.

The Magnetic Chip Conveyor can be designed with an inclination close to 90 degrees to ensure minimal oil wastage.

Conveyor with Self-Cleaning Filter Drum

An advanced solution that separates component flow and chip disposal. The integrated self-cleaning drum provides filtration up to 100 microns, eliminating the need for additional filters. These compact and economical conveyors are ideal for handling aluminum and cast iron chips.

Choosing the Right Solution

With years of expertise in chip handling, Lex Technoaid delivers engineered solutions trusted across industries. Whether you deal with long stainless-steel turnings or fine cast iron powder, our Chip Conveyors are designed to handle all the challenges.

Each system comes with:

• Customizable widths and discharge heights.
• Integration capability with CNC machines and coolant filtration systems.
