<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal cutting chip compression apparatus which eliminates the need of large power for compression by compressing metal cutting chips without increasing the inside diameter of a compression molding chamber, thus allows miniaturization of the apparatus, enables transferring a cutting oil leached during compression molding of the metal cutting chips to a cylindrical container for recovery and requires no maintenance of a pressure molding chamber.SOLUTION: The need of increasing the inside diameter of a compression molding chamber 12 is eliminated by capturing cutting powder discharged from a machine tool by means of a group of crushing blades having a plurality of protrusions on a pair of rotation shafts 31 rotating inward in mutually reverse direction, crushing the cutting powder to reduce the grain size and accumulating, thereby obtaining a compression molding with small compression power. A leaching cutting oil is transferred to a cylindrical container for recovery by using power switching between compression and discharge of a bottom plate 13 constituting the bottom of the compression molding chamber and optionally having a discharge hole. The switching power is also utilized as a power source for discharging a compression molding from a high position in the apparatus.</p> |
