National Conveyors CO Inc - Arnold Serenkin Pe

Founded in 1933, National Conveyors pioneered modern chip processing during World War II. At that time, the War Production Board selected National Conveyors Company to develop processes for the recovery and recycling of metal wastes generated from the manufacture of aircraft, ships, tanks, munitions and other military equipment.

Metal chip processing refers to the method of collecting and treating metal machining wastes through the use of metal crushers, metal shredders, metal chip wringers (metal chip centrifuges), metal briquetters and other specialized equipment interconnected with metal chip conveyors so as to comprise a complete metal chip processing system.

The National VD40 compact pneumatic chip wringing system is an economical and effective method for drying and conveying metal chips where there is limited floor space. The model VD40 chip wringer can be placed directly under the discharge of a single machine tool conveyor or the VD40 can serve multiple machine tools as shown in the following diagrams and photographs.

Advanced pneumatic collection and pneumatic conveying methods are important technologies for state of the art metal chip processing systems. Each design has its own benefits. National engineers can assist with the most effective selection to suit your requirements. Metal chips are sequentially collected from multiple collection points, such as machine tools, by a vacuum pneumatic conveying system which transports them through pipelines to a central receiving station where they are separated from the induced air flow and discharged into a disposal container storage bin or automatic loadout system.
