Nederman SS Econ swarf system cuts coolant costs

Aimed at operations demanding high material removal rates, Nederman has introduced its SS40 Econ swarf and coolant management system. Capable of processing up to 200 kg of steel swarf an hour, the system removes coolant from the chips and recycles it back to the machine tool, storage tank or filtration plant. Furthermore, by removing excess coolant, the customer generates clean, dry swarf that yields a higher recycle value. The SS40 Econ is suitable for most ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Featuring a small footprint and plug-and-play design, the system consists of a 300 litre receiving hopper and a hinged belt conveyor that is driven at 2.4 m/min by a 0.37 kW motor to transfer chips through the process. Rising to an outlet height of 1.5 m, the conveyor passes the swarf to a bar-end separator that rejects bar-ends and larger parts from the centrifuge inlet to avoid drum damage.
