Screw Chip Conveyor Manufacturers in Saudi Arabia- Drasla Technology

How Does our Screw Chip Conveyor Work?

The working principle of a Screw Chip Conveyor is based on the controlled rotation of a helical screw shaft inside a specially designed conveyor housing. Machining chips generated during turning, milling, drilling or other cutting operations fall into the conveyor inlet.

An electric motor and suitable drive arrangement rotate the screw at a controlled speed. The rotating flight of the screw pushes the collected chips forward through the conveyor casing toward the discharge end.

Depending on the machine layout, the discharged chips can be collected in a chip bin, trolley or centralized waste-handling system.

The enclosed conveying arrangement helps provide controlled chip movement while minimizing manual intervention. Screw Chip Conveyors can also be configured according to chip type, material, machine dimensions, discharge height and required conveying capacity.

Which Types of our Chip Conveyors Are Used in Industries?

As an experienced Screw Chip Conveyor Manufacturers in Saudi Arabia, we offer different chip handling technologies according to application requirements. Our product range includes:

• Screw / Coil Chip Conveyor - Screw or coil conveyors use a rotating helical screw mechanism to move machining chips through a compact conveyor casing. They are suitable for conveying small, broken and granular chips and can be designed for space-constrained machine-tool installations.
• Hinged Steel Belt Chip Conveyor - Hinged Steel Belt Chip Conveyors use interlocking steel belts to transport metal chips away from machine tools. They are suitable for long, curly, bushy, wet, dry or hot chips generated during turning, boring and drilling operations.
• Scraper Chip Conveyor - Scraper Conveyors are designed for handling fine, powdery chips, swarf and small or broken chips generated during metal cutting operations. They can handle wet or dry chips and transport them toward the discharge end using a scraper mechanism.
• Magnetic Chip Conveyor - Magnetic Chip Conveyors are designed primarily for ferrous machining materials. Magnetic conveying technology helps separate and transport ferrous fines, swarf, sludge and small metal pieces generated during applications such as hobbing, gear cutting and shaving.
• Dual Type Chip Conveyor - Dual Type Chip Conveyors can combine chip removal with coolant filtration. These systems are designed to handle different chip types while supporting coolant cleanliness and reducing the frequency of tank cleaning and maintenance.
