Live Link™ Filter Conveyor 

ACTUATING BELT LINK ELIMINATES
CONVEYOR CLEANOUT

live_linkPRAB's Live Link™ Filter Conveyor reduces particulate build up and recycles coolant at the machining center. Four Live Link hinges are strategically placed on the conveyor belt and unhinge at the discharging point. Scraper flights follow the hinges and scrape particulate off the bottom of the conveyor. Once the hinges reach the surface, they revert back into a conveyor belt and the particulate is dragged onto the belt where it is transported to downstream equipment for further processing.

The self cleaning drum filter removes fines and clarifies coolant down to 50 micron. Clean coolant is returned to the cell's coolant tank for future reuse.

 

Features/Benefits

Features

  • Scraper flights follow Live Link to remove particulate on the conveyor bed
  • Protected filter media drum prevents damage of primary drum filter, resulting in a longer cycle life

Benefits

  • Increases coolant life and reduces new coolant purchases
  • Reduces maintenance downtime with continous operation
  • Extends the life of cutting tools and provides cleaner surface finish
  • Increases coolant pump life cycle by reducing the risk of coolant lines clogging
  • Reduces maintenance costs by eliminating clogging, minimizing machine sump and conveyor cleanout
