Per Factory Literature:
30 Hp Motor230/60 volt
Up to 2% residual moisture (application dependent)
Wet metal chips containing cutting fluids are fed into conical inlet hopper (1) and report to the bottom of rotating bowl (2). The bowl is mounted on shaft and bearing assembly (3), driven by a non-slip timing belt and sheave assembly (4) and motor (5). Metal chips and fluids arriving within the bowl are immediately subjected to intense centrifugal force causing both chips and fluids to be thrown against the bowl surface. The arrival of new metal chip feed causes chips already present in the bowl to be displaced upwardly along the bowl surface. As metal chips and fluids arrive at the upper periphery of the bowl, they pass across a wedge wire screen through which cutting fluids pass into a fluid collection chamber (7) for separate collection. Dewatered metal chips pass across the screen, reporting to the chip discharge chamber (8) from which they are pneumatically expelled by the airflow generated by fan blades (9) fixed to the top of the rotating bowl (2). Airborne chips flow through discharge pipe (10) for collection in a container or truck. The airflow generated by the wringer is normally adequate for conveying metal chips for a distance of up to about 100 feet or 30 meters.
