A separator apparatus is provided for a cutting machine which separates chips from coolant, wherein the separator includes a fluid chamber into which an airborne mixture of chips and coolant driven by an airflow enters via an entry port, the separator apparatus being configured to: sufficiently slow the speed of the airborne mixture once inside the chamber so that the chips and coolant separate out from the airflow; retain the chips and coolant released from the airborne mixture in the fluid chamber; and allow air from the airborne mixture to exit the fluid chamber via an air outlet; wherein the fluid chamber includes a chip collector which captures the chips and enables the chips to be separated and removed from the coolant in the chamber; and wherein the fluid chamber includes a coolant outlet through which coolant, from which the chips have been removed, is able to exit. |
