Swarf crusher

The Steimel swarf crusher reliably shreds long, clumped metal chips, creating the ideal basis for further processing in our centrifuges. This ensures maximum recovery of cooling lubricants. At the same time, it significantly reduces the volume of chips, thereby contributing to a lasting reduction in disposal costs. Thanks to its robust design, it is perfectly suited for demanding continuous use in the metalworking industry.

The advantages of the swarf crusher

Reduction in chip volume

The volume of chips is reduced by up to 75% — as a result, storage and transport costs can be significantly reduced.

Automatic shredding

Automatic shredding reduces manual effort and enables efficient, continuous chip disposal.

High crushing capacity

With its high crushing capacity, the chip breaker is ideally designed for continuous use in industrial processes.

Customizable performance

The crushing capacity can be flexibly adapted to different materials and specific application requirements.

Easy integration

The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing chip transport systems.

Rugged construction

The sturdy construction with manganese steel lining makes the chip breaker particularly durable and makes it ideal for long-term industrial use.

Long service life

The wear-resistant crushing mechanism ensures a long service life and reduces maintenance costs to a minimum.

Low maintenance costs

The quick change of crushing tools minimizes downtime and helps to reduce maintenance costs.

No special foundation required

Thanks to its sophisticated design, the swarf crusher can be used flexibly and does not require complex foundation work during installation.

System overview

The swarf crusher is modular and consists of central components that ensure reliable shredding. Even long, entangled or bulky metal chips are efficiently processed into fine, free-flowing chips — this significantly reduces the volume and makes subsequent further processing easier.

Shredding unit

Reliable crushing unit for efficient shredding of various types of metal chips — from long to bulky.

Feeding system

The automatic feed ensures a continuous and process-reliable flow of chips into the crushing unit.

Discharge device

The shredded material is efficiently forwarded for further processing or disposal.

Control system

The user-friendly control system enables intuitive operation — supplemented by comprehensive safety mechanisms for reliable operation.

Drive

Foreign parts (e.g. rod ends) are automatically removed via a hydraulically opening flap on the crushing plant. The chips and rough particles can then be separated using a swivel slide.

Crushing plant

The sturdy sheet steel housing is lined with manganese steel. The breakers are made of hardened insert steel, and all tools can be replaced quickly and easily.

Feed funnel

The lower part of the hopper and the attached hopper and ratchets are made of wear-resistant manganese steel. The geometry ensures an optimal supply of chips to the crushing plant.

Automatic coarse particle outlet

Foreign parts (e.g. rod ends) are automatically removed via a hydraulically opening flap on the crushing plant. The chips and rough particles can then be separated using a swivel slide.
