How to Wash Swarf ? Best Way to Get Rid of Metal Turnings

Contents


1. Accumulation of swarf on machine centers often causes one a headache

The swarf on the machine

During machining operations, the accumulation of adhesive and deposited cutting chips on machinery is a common issue that can cause significant headaches for users. Finding an effective and low-cost method for cleaning these cutting chips is a major concern for vertical machine tool users. Addressing this challenge involves exploring various cleaning techniques and technologies that can efficiently remove these residues without incurring high costs, ensuring the smooth operation and maintenance of the machinery.Therefore, how to effectively and inexpensively clear swarf is an important lesson for machine operators.


2. Installation of a coolant hose is not an optimal solution

Adjustable coolant hose used to clear away swarf

Traditionally, users tended to install adjustable coolant hoses to clear away swarf. However, the coverage area of these coolant hoses is insufficient, which forces users to employ relatively large, power-consuming pumps, thus wasting resources and water, and can even cause water sinks to overflow. Despite these problems, these coolant systems appeared to be the only solution, however expensive and inefficient it may have been.


3. LORRIC nozzles – The optimal way to clear swarf!

Features: Low Cost & High Efficiency
The fan-shaped spraying structure and wide-angle design of the nozzle, combined with precise product processing, achieve results with low water usage, low power pump requirements, and fewer nozzle installations. The LORRIC fan-shaped nozzle exhibits a beautiful fan-shaped spray pattern and wide-angle spray, allowing for coverage over a broader area with the same amount of water. Within the same required spray range, there's no need to install additional nozzles, thus enabling the use of lower power pumps for the cleaning of machine swarf.
