Chip and turnings separator and crusher

摘要

A device is disclosed to facilitate the crushing of the metal scrap received from a machine shop as part of a metal and cutting oil recovery system. The device involves the use of a grate ahead of the crusher to separate chunky metal parts or heavies and fines from the enmeshed coils and snarled turnings resulting from machining. The coils and turnings free of the chunk materials are forcibly fed into a crusher designed to automatically eject any chunky material which escapes the separation process.
