Screw and Coil Conveyors
Screw and Coil Conveyors
Lex Technoaid’s Screw and Coil Conveyors are designed for efficient metal chip removal in confined spaces such as machine beds, pits and narrow trenches where conventional conveyors cannot be installed. Their compact design supports continuous chip evacuation with minimal manual intervention.
Available in customizable lengths, these conveyors can handle short, broken and powdery chips across various machining applications while ensuring smooth, reliable and low-maintenance operation.
Key Features of Screw & Coil Conveyors
- Space-Saving Design: Ideal for narrow installations inside machine beds or directly into pits, optimizing shop floor usage.
- Chip Handling Capacity: Efficiently manages small chip loads ranging from 50–250 kg/hour, suitable for light to medium-duty machining.
- Custom Lengths: Available in 1 to 10 meters, adaptable to different machine setups and trench dimensions.
- Durable Build: Engineered to withstand harsh machining conditions, ensuring long service life and reduced maintenance.
- Seamless Integration: Can be combined with other Lex chip conveyor systems for improved overall coolant and chip management.
Advantages of Screw & Coil Conveyors
- Compact Installation: Ideal for machines with limited space, eliminating the need for costly shop floor redesigns.
- Continuous Operation: Prevents chip accumulation and manual cleaning delays.
- Versatile Application: Supports various machining processes that generate short, broken, or powdery chips.
- Low Maintenance: A Simple, reliable mechanism with minimal moving parts reduces service needs.
Applications of Screw and Coil Conveyors
- CNC Machines with restricted chip discharge areas
- Gun Drilling and Milling Machines requiring local chip evacuation
- Grinding and Gear Shaping setups with limited conveyor space
- Broaching and other operations producing small, powdery chips
- Supplementary systems in large machining centers for localized chip collection
