Chip trapper cleans out coolants

April 2010 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

EXAIR’s new Chip Trapper offers a fast, easy way to clean solids such as chips, swarf and shavings out of used coolants and other liquids. The Chip Trapper vacuums the coolant or liquid that is filled with debris into a 210 litre drum, trapping all solids in a reusable filter bag. With a turn of the flow valve, clean liquid pumps back out. Expensive coolant that used to last only six weeks can now last six months with regular use of the Chip Trapper. It is ideal for use on machines with sumps, parts washers, tanks and storage containers.

Metal chips in a machine sump can block the intake of the coolant pump which reduces the coolant flow, causing heat related damage to the expensive parts and tooling. Regular cleaning of the sump with the Chip Trapper eliminates this problem, the lost production and downtime.

The unit is compressed air powered and has no motors or impellers to clog or wear out. Safe operation is assured with a built in pressure/vacuum relief and automatic safety shutoff valve that prevents spills or overfilling. The Chip Trapper comes complete with the stainless steel two-way pump assembly, directional flow valve, lever lock drum lid, shutoff valve, 3 m vacuum hose, 6 m compressed air hose, chip wand, two filter bags and a drum dolly. An optional Spill Recovery Kit is also available.

A demonstration can be viewed at www.exair.com/ctvideo.com.
