The stationary extraction system consists of a high-performance extraction fan and three separate separation containers, enabling the efficient suction and separation of continuous plastic chips generated by lathes.

The chips are captured directly at the cutting point between workpiece and tool and are collected separately by machine type into individual containers. Each separator is equipped with large viewing windows to allow continuous monitoring of the fill level. When the container is opened, the plastic chips fall directly into an on-site baling press, where they can be compacted into pallet-sized bales and strapped for further handling.

Special attention was given to the dissipation of static electricity during the design phase. All components are conductively interconnected, and large grounding lugs have been provided for integration into the site’s main grounding system.
