Oil conveyor system

centralizedautomated

Overview
FAMA hydraulic systems are engineered to collect and transport swarf and coolant directly from machine tools in a continuous and automatic way, without the constant presence of an operator. The system is versatile, non-invasive and easily extensible or modifiable over time. Hydraulic transport eliminates many issues related to handling oil and chips. The hydraulic transport system must be completed with a lubricant filtration and replenishment system. Civil works at site may be required.

Main features

• Evacuation of chips to treatment or storage areas without operator intervention
• Suitable for both dry and oil-wet swarf
• Capable of transporting chips immersed in large quantities of coolant
• Improves plant safety
• Enables unattended operation

HOURLY PRODUCTION
Q = 0,8 mc/h | Brass | Steel | Aluminium | Stainless steel | Copper | Cast Iron
density [kg/dmc] | 1,5 | 1,3 | 0,8 | 1,1 | 1,00 | 1,4
Kg/h | 1200 | 1050 | 640 | 900 | 800 | 1150
THE DATA IN kg/h IS APPROXIMATE AND DEPENDS ON SWARF DENSITY, SHAPE, OIL CONTENT AND COOLANT TYPE. DENSITY VALUES ARE HYPOTHETICAL BASED ON EXPERIMENTAL AVERAGES.

Available optionals

• Double swarf handling line for multi-material operations
• Anti-wear kit for centrifugal pumps
• Oil filtration system
• Oil superfiltration system
• Oil refrigeration system
• Synoptic remote control
• Remote assistance

Further technical characteristics

• Each machine connected to the system is equipped with an oil collection tank, with a shredder when swarf is long or skein-type
• Each tank has a dedicated pump that pushes swarf and oil into the manifold via pressure lines, each fitted with a manual emergency valve
• The manifold directs oil and swarf to the main collection tank where decantation allows swarf to settle and be removed by a dredger
• Swarf then follows treatment and storage processes
• Oil/emulsion can be filtered, superfiltered and refrigerated before being pumped back to machines at low or high pressure
