Chip crushers & Chip cutters
Capacity: 150 - 2.500 kg per hour
The ideal solution for chip handling problems in mechanical workshops, in the automotive industry, in steelworks and in scrap yards. Suitable for chips made of:
- carbon steel
- stainless steel
- other steel alloys with a fracture strength up to 1.200 N/mm or more
- aluminium alloys
- sponge iron
- titanium
- uranium
- and plastic products, glass etc.
- Chip crusher with slat-band belt conveyor
Economic viability
The chips are kept in motion at low speed by the rotary arm, therefore, there is neither knocking nor cutting. This results in low power consumption and low wear rate of crusher components.
Versatility
Loading can be discontinuous by crane, hoist, tipper or forklift trucks and also continuous by conveyors. The crushers accept the chips irrespective of their shape.
Reliability
The crushers are not sensitive when large chip bundles or packs are loaded. Crushers with low motor power handle chip packs reliably.
Low noise level
The sound level of the chip crushers is around the normal workshop level so that installation next to machines and in production shops is usually simple and straightforward.
Coarse particle separators
The crusher is fitted with a split crusher ring in order to prevent coarse particles e.g. rod ends jamming in the tools. If the crusher head is blocked by a coarse particle, the crusher stops automatically and goes into reverse. A section of the crusher ring opens and the coarse particle drops through the opening together with the chips. The crusher stops and then starts forwards again. The opening in the ring is closed by a cylinder.
Operation
The chips go through the hopper into the upper part of the crusher. Inclined steel teeth are fastened to the walls of the conical crusher chamber. The crusher arm with welded-on cutters is located on top of the rotating crusher shaft. A rotating crusher head is mounted on the shaft and an external stationary crusher ring is mounted on the top section as a counterweight.
The chips are torn into small pieces by the rotation of the crusher head. The chips are gradually guided downwards through the crusher chamber. The final crushing occurs in the lower part of the crusher chamber. After crushing the chips slide out through a channel in the crusher frame. It is imperative that the crusher hopper is always full otherwise long chips could get through the crusher tools.
