COMPRESSED Air Australia (CAA) says EXAIR’s new Chip Trapper offers a solution to cleaning solids such as chips, swarf and shavings out of used coolants and other liquids.
According to CAA, the Chip Trapper vacuums the coolant or liquid that is filled with debris into the included 55 gallon drum, trapping all the solids in a reusable filter bag. It is suited for use on machines with sumps, parts washers, tanks and storage containers.
The company says expensive coolant which used to last only six weeks can now last six months with regular use of the compressed air powered Chip Trapper. As with a turn of the flow valve, clean liquid pumps back out.
Metal chips in a machine sump are said to sometimes block the intake of the coolant pump which can reduce the coolant flow, causing heat-related damage to the expensive parts and tooling. Regular cleaning of the sump with a Chip Trapper eliminates this problem, the lost production, and downtime.
The Chip Trapper comes complete with the stainless steel two-way pump assembly, directional flow valve, 55 gallon drum, lever lock drum lid, shutoff valve, 10' (3m) vacuum hose, 20' (6.1m) compressed air hose, chip wand, two filter bags and a drum dolly.
