10 Things to Consider When Buying chip conveyor

Surprisingly, you will find several variables which you need to consider when adding a conveyor to a brand-new machine tool or retrofitting an existing operation. Together with the advent of multi-tasking machines that may possibly produce several kinds and sizes of chips, the problem has become even more difficult.

Goto LIONSHELL to know more.

We have listed down the three of the most basic questions that you need to answer as you choose a conveyor:

1. Will the conveyor be moving mixed materials, or will it be dedicated to a single type of material like brass, plastic, cast iron, etc.
2. What exactly is the size and configuration of the material? Fine chips? Coarse or stringy? Mixed?
3. What are the specifications and requirements of the machine tool the chip conveyor will serve? Are modifications required to accommodate your specific installation?

Answering these fundamental questions will go a long way toward finding the right chip conveyor for your application. Why is this so essential? Simply because there are several types of chip conveyors available, and each has its own unique characteristics that must be matched to specific requirements. Otherwise, the conveyor can malfunction with alarming regularity, which indicates you will encounter workflow interruptions and increased maintenance costs. As well as your productivity will suffer.

Other Criteria You Can Choose when Selecting a Chip Conveyor

1. Customization

Make sure that the supplier has the ability to customize the chip conveyor to effectively interface together with your specific machine tools and any modifications you may have to the equipment or installation.

2. Frame Strength

The frame of the conveyor must be sturdy enough for your application. A single size does not fit all, so make sure your supplier offers a number of frame sizes to ensure a great match.

3. Breadth of Products

Only a conveyor manufacturer that provides a complete range of conveyor types can properly determine and provide the best and most effective chip conveying system for your unique requirements. Otherwise you may end up with only the best match the supplier can make, not the very best solution.

4. Application Expertise and Technical Support

The only way to realize the best return of your conveyor investment is to work with a company that has proven applications experience, depth of talent, a large population of successful installations, and nationwide service and support provided by the company’s own staff.

Selecting chip conveyors isn’t as simple as some believe. Making the wrong choice can lead to higher maintenance costs, unnecessary work stoppages and wasted coolant. To maximize productivity, you should choose a conveyor system that best match your machine and the kinds of chips they produce.

Achieve optimum operating performance by selecting the right type of conveyor or conveyor system for your type of chip/application. Start by defining your application and related requirements. Based on your chip/machine type, volume, performance requirements and work area factors, you can make the right decision about which conveyor will best handle your company’s needs.
