Chip conveyors are machines used in the manufacturing and machining industry to remove and transport metal or plastic chips from a machine tool or machining center. The chips are fed through the chip conveyor into a collection tray or container from where they are disposed of or recycled. There are several types of chip conveyors, including scraper belt conveyors, screw conveyors, magnetic conveyors and slat-band conveyors. The choice of chip conveyor depends on various factors, such as the type of material being processed, the size of the chips, and the speed of the processing machine. The use of chip conveyors has several advantages, such as improved workplace cleanliness and safety, increased productivity, and longer machine tool life due to reduced chip accumulation.
