Magnetic Chip Conveyors
Screw and Coil Conveyors
Lex Technoaid’s Screw and Coil Conveyors are designed to handle metal chip removal in confined spaces within machine beds or trenches where traditional conveyors cannot be installed. These compact conveyors are widely used in machining environments requiring continuous, smooth chip evacuation without manual intervention. With a robust design and customizable lengths, they ensure uninterrupted operation for a variety of chip types.
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

FAQs - CENTRALIZED COOLANT FILTRATION SYSTEMS
A Centralized Coolant Filtration System is a single filtration unit designed to supply clean coolant to multiple machines across a shop floor, ensuring consistent pressure, temperature and clarity.
Unlike stand-alone systems placed beside individual machines, centralized systems serve all machines from a common location. This reduces space usage, power consumption and maintenance needs.
Key benefits include optimized coolant supply, reduced floor space usage (up to 50 percent), lower operational and maintenance costs and improved productivity through minimal downtime.
Yes. Centralized Coolant Filtration Systems use fewer pumps than stand-alone setups and can integrate VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) to optimize power based on machine usage.
Yes. These systems are designed for low maintenance, requiring fewer spare parts, less storage and fewer operators. This results in overall cost efficiency.
Absolutely. LEX Technoaid offers integration with centralized chillers to ensure that connected machines receive coolant at the ideal operating temperature.
With features like stand-by pumps and reduced time for consumable replacement, centralized systems help minimize machine downtime and enhance production efficiency.
Yes. LEX’s centralized systems are designed to serve a wide range of machining operations across industries. They adapt to varying flow and pressure requirements.
You can save upto 50 percent of floor space compared to using multiple stand-alone filtration systems.
With over 30 years of experience, LEX Technoaid is one of India’s leading manufacturers. The company offers robust and customized coolant management solutions backed by proven reliability.
