OverviewEXAIR's patented* Chip Trapper™ provides a fast, simple method to remove chips, swarf and shavings from used coolants and other liquids. The unit vacuums contaminated liquid into a drum and traps solids in a reusable filter bag while clean liquid is returned to service. Ideal for machine sumps, parts washers, tanks and storage containers of contaminated fluids. *Patent #8153001
WarningDo not use with low flash point or flammable liquids such as fuel oil, alcohol, mineral spirits, gasoline or kerosene.

How the EXAIR Chip Trapper WorksThe vacuum hose attaches to the barbed connection on the Chip Trapper. Set the directional flow valve on the drum and the pump knob to "fill." Open the air supply to provide 80-100 PSIG (5.5–6.9 BAR) to the pump; compressed air drives the pump, drawing contaminated liquid through the vacuum hose into the reusable filter bag. When the drum is full, the air supply automatically shuts off. To return filtered liquid, set the directional valve and pump knob to "empty" and reopen the air supply; the air pressure pushes the clean liquid back through the hose while solids remain in the bag.
