Swarf processing systems

Mayfran offers turnkey, compact systems for chip processing, including shredding & drying of chips and the economic recovery of cooling lubricant. Environmentally it is becoming increasingly important to process chips to ensure safe transportation. Processing also recovers cooling lubricants and provides higher value dry chips.

Significant cost savings are achievable through coolant reclamation, higher scrap values & reduced transport costs due to volumetric reduction.

Chip processing is both environmentally and financially sound, as the following example shows.

Say a machine shop produces 500kg of steel chips per hour in a three-shift 24 hour operation(12000kgs/day) working 5 days a week. Their residual moisture content is around seven percent by weight of emulsion. Deducting the residual emulsion after centrifuging results in about 50 g of emulsion per kilogram of chips. In this specific case, that is around 600 kg of recovered oil per day or almost 140,000 litres per year. With a price per litre of around three euros, the corresponding investment will be quickly paid off.
