KB Type Vertical Crushers

KB-type vertical metal chip crushers are designed for controlled size reduction of long, stringy, and bulky metal chips generated by CNC machines, lathes, and other machining equipment.

Thanks to their low-speed operating principle and specially engineered crusher mechanism, they turn metal chips into shorter, more manageable pieces.

This process helps reduce the volume occupied by chips, facilitate conveying and storage, and improve the efficiency of downstream chip-processing stages such as centrifuging and briquetting.

KB-type vertical metal chip crushers direct metal chips transferred into the upper feed hopper to the processing zone by means of a rotating feed arm and crusher mechanism.

As a result of the mechanical interaction between the rotating crusher head and the fixed crusher ring, long chips are broken into shorter pieces. The reduced chips are transferred from the machine's outlet section to the next processing stage.

The solid-piece discharge mechanism in the system helps reduce the risk of jams and downtime caused by unsuitable solid pieces that may enter the chip flow.

It is designed for integration into industrial chip-processing lines and suitable standalone applications.

It provides controlled size reduction of long and stringy metal chips.

It contributes to reducing the space occupied by chips and facilitating logistics processes.

Within an appropriate design, it helps discharge bar ends and similar solid pieces that may become mixed with the chips.

Its operating structure, based on interaction among the chips within the crusher mechanism, is intended to reduce wear and energy demand.

It supports preparation of reduced chips for centrifuging, briquetting, and other chip-recovery processes.

They are used in production facilities where bulky chips generated by metalworking operations must be managed.

Principal application areas include:

CNC lathe and machining lines

Processing of steel and stainless-steel chips

Size reduction of chips from aluminum and suitable metal alloys

Chip-preparation systems prior to centrifuging
