The chief innovative concept of the system is based on the criterion of conveying metal chips through a straight collector tube impelled by a rotating screw operating along the entire lenght of the tube. Rational workshop layout Better use of available space thanks to the possibility of eliminating metal chips containers at machine side; no room needed for lifting device movements. Metal chips collected in a centralized container The container can be placed in any suitable location to facilitate its movement. Savings in labour No need to employ a lifting device operator for metal chips container movement. No pits in workshop floor No costs for pit construction since the system develops above the floor and it is therefore flexible to changes in the workshop layout. Modular system The system collectors network can be adjusted to all layout requirements and it can be further expanded. Hight conveyance efficiency The reduction in metal chips volume, which is achieved thanks to the particular conveyance and transport systems, allows an increase in the quantity that is introduced into the centralized container. Improvement in work space Metal chips is conveyed in closed collectors, which eliminate fumes, odors and noise. Work safety The system operating features fully comply with the safety requirements set out in law n. 626.
