McKenzie Model L Chip Separator

Size range (diameters): 1/8″ to 2″ (3 to 50mm)
Size range (lengths): 1/4″ to 6″ (6 to 152mm)
Maximum Operating rate: 1 cu. ft./min. (approx 5000 parts/min)
Average operating rate: 34cu. ft./hr., using varying parts and sizes

OPERATION:
1. Adjust air blast regulator lever to regulate air flow for size and weight of the parts.
2. Set control gate in feed hopper to permit uniform flow. (Normal setting: 1-1/2 times diameter of parts to be separated.)
3. With machine running, and after cutting oil has been removed, empty production to be separated into automatic feed hopper.
4. Production will feed into vibrator where, by means of constant agitation, material is spread evenly prior to entering controlled air stream. That’s all. The chips are automatically discharged below the chip discharge hood, while the clean parts drop from the parts delivery chute.
