These systems are designed to ensure the homogeneous
placement of chips generated after machining processes
into large-capacity and multiple stacking areas.
They are engineered in the most optimal way according
to the layout of the storage area, ensuring maximum
efficiency with minimum labor, while maintaining
the highest level of cleanliness in the working environment.

General Features

High-Capacity Chip Discharge Solution: Designed to safely lift and discharge chip buckets into large storage containers or centralized chip collection areas.
Safe and Ergonomic Operation: Eliminates the risks associated with manual lifting or tipping. Ensures maximum operator safety with minimal physical effort.
Automatic Controlled Tilting System: Uses hydraulic or electro-mechanical lifting to elevate the bucket and tilt it in a controlled manner, preventing spillage or scattering of chips.
Built for Heavy Industrial Use: Reinforced frame, thick steel construction, and industrial-grade components ensure long service life under harsh operating conditions.
Sensor-Based Safety Structure:
Equipped with: 
Position sensors, Limit switches, Overload protection for secure and stable operation.
Compatible with Various Bucket Sizes: Supports industry-standard chip buckets ranging from 200 to 1000 liters. Custom size options are available.
Uniform Chip Distribution: Allows controlled and even discharge into multiple storage zones or large containers, improving material handling efficiency.
 Low Maintenance Requirements: Simple mechanical design requires minimal maintenance aside from periodic lubrication and inspection.
Modular Design for Facility Integration: Easily installed at the end of production lines, at conveyor discharge points, or within centralized chip handling systems.
Application Areas: CNC machining facilities, High-volume production lines, Central chip collection systems, Foundries and metal recycling plants

FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions
Chip Bucket Discharging Elevator

  • How does this system work?
    The chip bucket is placed on the lifting platform. A hydraulic or electro-mechanical system elevates the bucket and tilts it in a controlled manner to discharge chips safely.
  • What bucket sizes are supported?
    Typically compatible with 200–1000 liter industrial chip buckets. Custom bucket sizes can be accommodated upon request.
  • How is operator safety ensured?
    The system includes: Limit switches Position sensors Overload protection Emergency stop button to guarantee safe operation
  • Does chip scattering occur during discharge?
    Very minimal. The controlled tilt angle and smooth dumping motion reduce scattering. Side guards can be added if necessary.
  • What is the lifting capacity?
    Depending on model, lifting capacity ranges between 300 kg and 1500 kg.
  • Can it be integrated into central chip collection lines?
    Yes. It can be positioned at conveyor discharge points, briquetting press inlets, or central chip collection stations.
  • Is maintenance difficult?
    No. With simple lubrication and periodic inspection, maintenance is minimal. Hydraulic models require routine oil-level checks.
  • Can the system discharge into multiple storage zones?
    Yes. Optional rotating tables or rail-guided positioning systems allow discharge into multiple bins or containers.
  • Does the system stop automatically in case of imbalance or incorrect positioning?
    Yes. Safety sensors automatically shut down the system when unstable load or incorrect positioning is detected.
  • Which industries commonly use this system?
    CNC machining facilities Metal recycling plants Foundries High-volume chip processing operations
