Cooperations
Hydraulic drainage presses offer an efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for managing machine scraps, such as chips generated through turning, milling, sawing, or drilling. The C.200 dewaters and compacts a wide range of metal swarf, including aluminum, steel, brass, copper, and bronze, as well as grinding residues. This process transforms large volumes of chips or swarf into compact discs, allowing easy recycling of metal machining chips or disposal of associated cooling fluids, oils, emulsions, and water.
Our C.200 machine efficiently compacts all types of swarf and chips into dense discs, while simultaneously separating them from coolants and lubricants, regardless of the machine scrap type.
Chips can be generated from various processes including turning, milling, sawing or drilling. The C Series dewaters and compacts all common metal chips including aluminum, steel, brass, copper, bronze and more. In this way, large piles of chips are turned into compacted discs. Cooling lubricant, oil, emulsion or water can be easily recycled or disposed of.
In order to make installation as convenient as possible, the WEIMA C series presses are preset and delivered ready for operation as a plug-and-play solution. All that is required for installation is a power connection and the alignment to the up-stream processing machine. If desired, we also offer on-site or remote start-up assistance
Two half shells on the conical discharge pipe, which are closed by disc springs or hydraulically, allow the chips to be pressed into discs with a diameter of 200 mm.
The machine can be easily integrated with existing machinery by the use of height adjustable machine feet allowing the filling height to be individually adjusted.
The press works with a hydraulic ram and due to the large press chamber, does not require a screw conveyor, separate pre-compression or other moving parts. Jamming or bridging are effectively elimi- nated. Impurities or long, tangled chips are simply compressed in the outfeed.
More about shavings
Chips are fed into the pressing chamber from the chip conveyor via a large funnel. There they are compressed and dewatered using a horizontal press cylinder with press ram. The recovered liquid is collected and filtered in a tray below the press channel. As a result, the cutting fluid can be returned directly to the machine or sent back to a central system for further processing.
Various parameters (e.g. press cycles) can be set quickly via the color display of the built-in PLC control. A simple signal connects the press to the processing machine allowing it to only operate when the chip conveyor is activated.
To minimize down time, precise diagnostic messages are displayed for troubleshooting.
The WEIMA press can also be used for drainage of other solids. Thus, paper, wood or plastic fibers can also be separated from any liquids. Well-compressed discs with a diameter of 200mm are produced.
Using integrated sensors in the feed hopper, the press can function automatically. When a predetermined level in the hopper is reached, the press automatically turns on. To reduce wear and tear on the machine components, the press automatically stops as soon as the hopper level falls below a pre-set level.
The two independently operating press rams of the WEIMA C.200 Duo can be filled one after the other with the help of a movable diverter plate in the hopper. To reduce downtime, both press chambers can be alternately filled. In the event of a fault, the machine automatically switches to the available press cylinder.
