Metal chip crusher for single machines

The metal chip crusher for single machines type KB3 accepts and crushes long swarf at a low rotating speed to small chips at a continuous rate. The metal crusher is well suited for installation adjacent to the machine tool or in small chip processing systems. 

  • Low wear due to low crushing speeds and few moving parts 
  • Rejects bar ends in separate outlet 
  • Very low energy consumption and low maintenance costs 
  • Easy replaceable cutting tools with reversible edges
The crusher is used in industries that generate metal chips from machine tools. More specifically it is applied before long swarf should be transported with vacuum or pumped together with the cutting fluids. It is also used before the long swarf is centrifuged or briquetted. The crusher is intended for the following types of turnings. The crusher is fed with chips in the inlet box. The chips are dragged into the screw, partly broken against the longitudinal ”break edge” in the inlet box. The chips are fed by the screw and the inlet pipe forces the chips against a rotating ”cutting tool” which mows against a fixed tool.
The crushed chips are ejected directly into a container, conveyor or centrifuge. If the tools are blocked by a solid piece (bar end) the crusher automatically stops, a segment in the inlet pipe is moved to open a hatch out of which the solid will fall out. The machine is reversed, at the same time.
