Aluminum Machining

Industry: Automotive Suppliers
Application: Machining Center
Material: Aluminum
Product: ConSep® 2000 separator-conveyor

Situation
This customer was generating over 200 cubic feet per day of mixed chips and turnings producing aluminum airbag components. The existing separator conveyors were causing 5-8% downtime due to coolant backups caused by chip blockage. Chips in the “clean” coolant reduced tool life and part quality.

Solution
ConSep 2000 systems requiring minimal modification to the rest of the chip and coolant system.

Key Features

• The combination hinge belt and drag conveyors efficiently removed the wide range of turnings and chips.
• The pressurized backwash system kept the drum filter clean and effective at maintaining coolant quality.

Customer Benefits
Eliminated downtime from cleaning out tanks and coolant system
Improved coolant cleanliness resulted in a significant increase in tool and coolant life and better part tolerance
