• Sealed conveying surface supports coolant containment and reduces direct wear from abrasive particles.
• Magnetic spacing and conveying speed can be selected according to chip volume and required transport rate.
• May be combined with coolant tanks, paper-band filters, strainers and other chip-treatment equipment.
• External casing, inlet length, incline angle, discharge height and return section can be engineered to suit the machine layout.

Engineering Data Required for Selection

Screw Chip Conveyor

HRLX Series

Compact auger-type chip removal for confined machine-tool installations

The HRLX series uses a rotating screw flight inside a steel trough to transport short chips and granular machining residue from the collection point to the discharge outlet. The compact construction is suitable for installation beneath CNC machine tools where available space is limited.

YSLX Series

Modular screw conveyor configurations for chip and scrap handling

The YSLX series provides a modular screw conveyor platform with multiple trough and screw-flight configurations. It is designed for conveying short chips, powder, small granules and fragmented scrap generated during machining and industrial processing.

• Available with or without a central shaft, according to chip shape, operating length and maintenance requirements.
• Open, covered, U-shaped or customized trough designs can be supplied.
• Multiple conveyors can be combined to create centralized chip-removal networks.
• Direct-drive or geared-motor arrangements are available for different torque and speed requirements.
• Stainless-steel contact surfaces and wear-resistant liners can be specified for coolant-rich or abrasive service.

Skirt Belt Conveyor

Flexible sidewall belt conveyor for continuous material transfer

The skirt belt conveyor combines a durable belt with flexible corrugated sidewalls and transverse cleats to retain material during horizontal and inclined transport. It is suitable for chips, components, granules and bulk materials where product containment and clean transfer are required.

• Corrugated sidewalls minimize material loss along both edges of the belt.
• Transverse cleats improve lifting capacity on inclined conveyor sections.
• Available in straight, inclined, Z-type and customized machine-integration layouts.

• Optional hoppers, covers, discharge chutes, speed controls and mobile frames can be incorporated.

Selection Parameter

Dimensional Configuration

Dimensional values are confirmed according to the machine interface, transfer height, belt width, chip or product characteristics and required throughput. The final structure should be reviewed together with the discharge hopper, receiving container and service-access clearances.

Technical Configuration

Final capacity depends on material density, chip geometry, coolant content, vibration amplitude, frequency and conveying inclination. Application testing is recommended for unusual chip forms, sticky residue or mixed materials.

Paper Band Filter

ZGA series — automatic gravity filtration for machine-tool coolant systems

The ZGA paper tape filter removes suspended solids from water-based or oil-based machine-tool coolant. Contaminated liquid passes through disposable filter media supported by a conveyor screen. As solids accumulate and flow resistance increases, the control system advances clean paper and discharges the contaminated media into a collection container.

This filter consists of several parts, including a paper tape, a speed reducer, a transmission mechanism, a signaling mechanism, and a liquid pump. It utilizes the filtration effect of the paper tape to remove metallic and other non-metallic impurities from the coolant. This ensures the cleanliness of the cutting fluid, extending its service life by 10-20 times and improving the surface quality of machined parts. The paper tape filter achieves a filtration efficiency of 98%, can be automatically controlled, and is an ideal accessory for various types of grinding machines, honing machines, and other precision machining tools.

• Continuous automatic filtration with minimal operator intervention.
• Filter media grade can be selected according to coolant type and required cleanliness.
• Suitable for grinding, machining, honing and general metalworking coolant systems.
• Can be installed as an independent filter or integrated with coolant tanks, pumps and chip conveyors.
• Optional magnetic pre-separation, level control, alarms and customized tank arrangements are available.

Datasheet for Choosing Size

Note: the water tank shape and size shall be determined according to the site conditions. If there is any requirement for the coolant temperature, a temperature control device can be installed on top of the water tank. This filter machine is automatically operated, without manual operation.

Magnetic Roller Paper Tape Filter

ZCB series — two-stage filtration for ferrous particles and fine coolant contamination

The ZCB magnetic roller paper tape filter combines magnetic pre-separation with disposable paper filtration. Ferrous particles are captured by the magnetic separator before the coolant reaches the filter media, reducing paper consumption and improving filtration stability. Remaining fines are retained by the paper tape before the clean coolant returns to the machine system.

• Optimized for steel and cast-iron machining, grinding and finishing operations.
• Magnetic pre-separation removes a significant portion of ferrous contamination before paper filtration.
• Reduced filter-paper consumption compared with paper filtration alone in high-ferrous-load applications.
• Automatic media advance and sludge discharge support continuous production.
• Can be supplied with integrated tank, pumps, liquid-level controls, alarms and machine interlocks.

System Module

System sizing must be based on coolant flow, contaminant loading, ferrous content, required cleanliness, available installation space and machine operating cycle.
