A chip conveyor is an equipment that automatically discharges metal chips from machine tools. The penetration rate in Thailand remains around 30%, and even in this country where automation is progressing, the introduction of chip conveyors is not.

Thailand / What are the benefits of introducing chip conveyors in factories?
▲Video clip (performed by MD Nagikawa, our representative)
As shown in the video, daily work efficiency completely differs with and without chip conveyors. Mentioned below are some of the issues that need to be addressed in a production site with no chip conveyors installed.
① Labor and cost of discharging metal chips by hand
Without chip conveyors, discharging the metal chips from inside the machine tools all must be done by workers using shovels and forks.
② Oil contamination of the factory floor
Chips of various sizes are impregnated with oil, which is used as a coolant. The oil from the chips scattered on the factory floor makes the floor sticky and slippery.
③ Danger of injuries
Since metal chips can be very sharp, without chip conveyors, workers are at the risk of cutting themselves even when wearing gloves. Also, with the oil-based coolant being scattered on to the floor, cases of workers slipping, falling, and injuring themselves are often reported.
④ Machine troubles caused by metal chips
Metal chips should be shoveled out of the machine tools regularly, about once an hour. Failure to do so can cause chips to accumulate and get caught in the motor during the cutting process causing many problems. Also, some types of machine tools require the machine to be stopped each time the metal chips need to be discharged.
Then what are the benefits of implementing chip conveyors? All the issues listed above, ① to ④ , can be solved!

All of Moretech (Thailand)s chip conveyors are made to order, including width, height, and length, to match the customer's machine tool. For example, we are capable of manufacturing a conveyor long enough to discharge the metal chips right out of the factory.

We not only do the installation in the factory, but also provide complete after-sales service.
