Integrated Swarf Management & Filtration Systems

Series II Swarf Conveyor

Application

Series II conveyors are free standing units providing a totally integrated solution for both swarf management and coolant filtration. They are suitable for fine swarf, and short chips of aluminium, brass, steel, and cast iron - and applications including machining centres, lathes and special purpose machines.

Principle of Operation

The Series II unit is of rugged, modular construction with standard, self cleaning filtration systems of 200 microns allowing coolant throughput of 300 L/min.

When in operation, heavy metal chips settle to the bottom of the conveyor and move up the conveyor incline to be deposited into a suitable receptacle. Contaminated coolant is filtered through a continuously rotating drum, which itself incorporates a removable, stainless steel filter medium.

To ensure the filter medium maintains a consistent level of filtration and coolant throughput, the drum incorporates an internal backwash system that continually blasts coolant from within the drum as it rotates. Once the coolant is filtered, it is either recirculated back into the system or pumped/transferred into an independent high pressure coolant system.

The filter is self cleaning and requires minimal maintenance.

Controls

Klockner Moeller switch incorporating Forward/Jog/Reverse/Emergency Stop. The switches interface with the machine tool control and can either be operated independently or by the machine, to suit customer requirements. Standard specification is with the machine tool operating the conveyor.

Productivity Enhancements

A range of productivity enhancements are available including machine coolant pumps, high pressure coolant system, improved filtration levels, additional coolant tanks (utlising existing pumps if required), oil skimmer, coolant chiller unit, spray/wash gun, cover wash down, and, mist and fume extraction units.

Series IlI Swarf Conveyor

Application

Though offering the same productivity benefits as Series II conveyors, Series III conveyors are essentially two conveyors in one. Free standing units, they are a totally integrated solution for both swarf management and coolant filtration, suitable for fine swarf, and both short and long chips of aluminium, brass, steel, and cast iron. Applications include machining centres, lathes and special purpose machines.


The Series III unit is of rugged, modular construction with standard, self cleaning filtration systems of 200 microns. It incorporates a heavy duty 38mm (1.5in) pitch, steel hinged, slat type belt; and a 38mm (1.5in) scraper type belt, within the same conveyor casing.

Generally, the belt type conveyor handles a large percentage of the swarf, however, should small chipped swarf or particles be present, they will pass through the belt conveyor and be deposited on the base of the unit, where the scraper type conveyor will remove them.

Similar to the Series II conveyor, contaminated coolant is filtered through a continuously rotating drum, which itself incorporates a removable, stainless steel filter. To ensure the filter medium maintains a consistent level of filtration and coolant throughput, the drum incorporates an internal backwash system that continually blasts coolant from within the drum as it rotates. Once the coolant is filtered, it is either recirculated back into the system or pumped/transferred into an independent high pressure coolant system.

The filter is self cleaning and requires minimal maintenance.

Controls

Two Klockner Moeller switches incorporating Forward/Jog/Reverse/Emergency Stop. The switches interface with the machine tool control and can either be operated independently or by the machine, to suit customer requirements. Standard specification is with the machine tool operating the conveyor.

Gravity Bandfilter Unit (Clarifier)

Gravity BandfilterUnit

Application

Cromar clarifiers remove any type of solid particle contamination from water-based coolants and light viscosity liquids. Applications include: grinding machines, honing machines, lathes, machining centres, drilling & boring machines, spark erosion machines, hardening machines, cold rolling mills and washing equipment.

Benefits

They create a number of key productivity advantages such as improved surface finish of components; minimum service costs; highly efficiency - thus longer service life of coolant and lower tooling costs; and rapid payback.


Contaminated coolant is fed onto a continuous reel of filter fabric. The fabric is carried by a special wire belt, which permits a continuous flow of clean coolant through into the coolant storage tank below. Increasing deposits of contamination on the filter fabric gradually cause the media to go ‘cloudy’, resulting in an increased in the depth of liquid in the trough.

This increase in level actuates an adjustable float switch, which in turn operates the reel drive motor, to convey clean filter fabric into the filtration area. In this way the renewal of the filter fabric is achieved automatically in direct relationship to the flow rate and degree of contamination. The used filter fabric, including deposits of contamination, is carried away into a receptacle positioned adjacent to the unit and can be removed for emptying without interrupting the filtration process.

Filter Fabric Specification

Widths available: 480mm (18.9in), 710mm (28in) and 1040mm (40.9in). Grades available: 60 microns down to 15 microns

01 Gravity Bandfilter Paper Feed

Magnetic Type Conveyor

Application

Cromar magnetic swarf conveyors are suitable for CNC lathes and machining centre applications - ideal for the management of small ferrous materials in all general machining applications.


The conveyors incorporate sequential running magnets attached to hollow bearing roller chain, driven by an externally mounted motor assembly. Swarf is moved along a stainless steel skin, which protects and seals the magnets against coolant and oil contamination. When the magnets approach the swarf discharge point, they move away from the stainless steel skin, thus decreasing their influence on the swarf, allowing it to drop into the collection receptacle.

Magnet Specification

Magnets are manufactured from strontium ferrite ceramic material magnetised to saturation remanence (3700). They are capable of the continuous handling of ferrous materials within general machining applications under normal operating conditions.

Controls

Basic controls include: Stop/Start/Reverse push button box incorporating flying lead and plug to accommodate the electrical socket within the machine tool, or any other electrical specification designated by customer.

Paint

Supplied finish painted to suit customer’s colour specification. Productivity Enhancements

A range of productivity enhancements are available including integrated coolant tank, coolant pumps and machine control interface, as well as any special requirements requested by the customer.

Atkins has years of experience in crisis management and can provide the expertise to prepare a contingency plan that reflects your business requirements and provides a ‘contingency policy’ against the unexpected.

6. Document Management

To enhance the requirement to provide a document storage capability within the CAFM, Atkins can provide a flexible document management system with full indexing and search facilities.

The Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) centralises document storage, saving on actual space and providing a ‘paper vault’ in electronic form. This will allow your business to operate under a collaborative environment where the advantages to business continuity and process enhancement are measurable and immediate in all cases. The use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) searches within pdf documents creates the ability to immediately find and share any document. This makes the cataloguing and search functions a quick win.

7. Supply Chain Management

Atkins Supply Chain Solutions are able to provide a holistic solution to customer Supply Chain needs through two distinct elements of its service: Supply Chain Manage, focused on the operational delivery and strategic development of suppliers and Supply Chain Consult, where current supply chain provision is assessed and opportunities for improvement identified.

Atkins builds real knowledge on performance capability through its own market leading assessment tool, ‘Quantum’. The assessment is based on 10 different competence areas:

Financial Service Delivery Customer Focus QSE Supply Chain People Management Corporate Responsibility Innovation Business Strategy

8. Project Management

Atkins has extensive experience of project management from procurement advice to full project delivery, whether for asset replacements such as HVAC or lifts, minor building maintenance or major alterations and reconstruction.

Atkins breadth of experience is not limited to management of hard services but also encompasses property churn with all associated space planning and utilities alterations.

Body photography

To communicate with all clients, a wide range of body photography isavailable to use across all marketing,advertising, literature and web. Thereare 10 body shots in total focusing ondifferent parts of the body (both male and female.)

There are two kinds of images whichcan be used, the first is without thePhyiso Med “healing waves” and the second is without. The use of the twokinds of image depends on the space available, but as a rule of thumb, the waves should be used whenever the space is available.

BUSINESS SUPPORT FROM START TO GROWTH

SOME REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO START A BUSINESS...

AND HOW ENRG HELPS OVERCOME THEM.

1Economy

One common fear about starting a new business is the economy. If economic activity is at a general low, it is assumed by many that

the timing is probably wrong to start a business. If economic activity slows, companies may

decide to reduce employment levels and save money rather than invest. Such actions can

cause a downward cycle, worsening a recession. Businesses need to invest for an economy to regain momentum and the economy needs

new businesses.

2Uncertainty

Another fear that prevents entrepreneurs from taking the big plunge is uncertainty. Unlike going to work in a regular job and

taking home your salary at the end of each month, owning a business usually means

no guaranteed income. Paying yourself nothing at all could be an unrealistic prospect. Wondering if you can support your family is a fundamental reason to question whether you

should consider starting up in business.

3Indecision

apply to a new business may prevent you from

entrepreneurs know they want to be self-employed but are unsure about what type of business they would like to start. Leaving a

stable career can be disconcerting and simply starting a business without the right skills

and knowledge needed to succeed is a legitimate fear to have.

To overcome this

ENRG can help you develop a clear strategy and business plan and where

available ENRG will advise on grants and assist in the application process.

Not all businesses fail during an economic lull, opportunities open

and with few jobs available, the government are encouraging

new start-ups.

To overcome this

In business, your income is determined by what you produce and/or sell. At ENRG we have the best advice and guidance on getting your product/

service out onto the market through our comprehensive marketing

workshops.

To overcome this

The ENRG programme takes you through a diagnostic process to

ensure you are doing the right things for the right reasons.

Business planning and strategyAt ENRG we understand how important translating your idea into a business is. From creating your business plan to assessing your short term and long term goals, we are here to help you from the beginning.

6Loss of BenefitsFor some people moving from

to start a business can cause hardship

to support little or no income. Some self-employed people might have to wait as long

as 12 months for any tax credits due.

To overcome this

starting a business doesn’t have to be expensive and there are many things you can do to keep

costs at a minimum in the early days.

To overcome this

Flexibility around working hours and location can mean that in many cases

having a business means you get to see more of your family. Part of the

ENRG programme is to seriously consider this and the potential

implications.

To overcome this

The ENRG team can help you through this process. The project is supported by Job Centre Plus and detailed advice

is available.
