Small footprint vacuum pick-up hoppers continuously remove and transport machining waste for further processing at the Inter-Source 30" continuous chip wringer system.

Flexible vacuum lines incorporated into the collection system promote housekeeping at machining points.

Pick-up boot collects chips discharged from individual machining centers and manages the introduction of these chips into the vacuum transport duct for delivery to a central chip management system.

Vacuum generated by a material handling fan or for greatest economy by the Inter-Source wringer.

This Inter-Source exclusive eliminates all routine chip handling, easily integrates within available space, and serves to minimize coolant mist at the machining center.
