Chip Crusher / Shredder
Cuts heavy spirals and tough chips into small, safe, dense pieces - ready for centrifuging or briquetting, with far less storage space.

Overview
Cut costs, keep clean. Savings in operating cost and total economy matter more than ever in today's competitive industry - and so do environmental laws. Around 25% of the cooling and cutting agents you buy is lost clinging to metal chips. A chip centrifuge gets it back, reduces process cost, and keeps the workplace clean and accident-free.
Unique Products offers compact centrifuge units - dedicated to a single machine tool or shared by a group of machines - in capacities of 50, 150, 500 and 1000 kg/hr, complete with magnetic feeder conveyors for automatic chip feeding.

How It Operates
Small metal chips are fed continuously and evenly into the centrifuge hopper by the feeder conveyor. The chips slide into the fast-spinning wringer bowl and accelerate to bowl RPM. High centrifugal force drives them up the bowl wall, past the coolant exit slots, towards the upper edge - wringing the coolant off the chips and out through the exit slots. The dried chips pass over the bowl edge and discharge through the wringer housing into an extractor conveyor or swarf bin.
Design Features
Models UP-50, UP-500 and UP-1000 are designed and constructed for high performance, maximum reliability and long life with no maintenance. The bowl is machined from special alloy steel using high-precision techniques and heat treated to suit its function. The main shaft and bearing housing form a high-speed spindle assembly, and the complete unit is mounted on anti-vibration pads for enhanced service life.
For upstream chip size reduction, pair the centrifuge with a chip crusher / shredder.
