Continuous de-oiling system for metalworking chips

De-oils and Separates Metal Chips Continuously

The AS Series from CEPA is a fully automatic de-oiling centrifuge tailored for the metalworking, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. This equipment is distinguished by its ability to efficiently de-oil short, pourable chips of aluminium and steel through a continuous processing system. Employing centrifugal force, the AS Series ensures effective separation of oil from metal chips, enhancing material purity and reducing recycling costs.

With a processing capacity of up to 600 liters per hour, models like the AS 3 B-A and AS 5 (B-)A accommodate the demands of high throughput environments. The machine’s drum diameter and rotation speeds, reaching up to 2500 RPM, allow for precise oil extraction, yielding cleaner metal products suitable for further processing or sale.

Automation is streamlined with PLC controls, integrating smoothly into existing production lines for uninterrupted operation. Despite its robust performance, the AS Series remains energy efficient, leveraging optimized motor controls to minimize power consumption. Built from durable materials like stainless steel, it offers strong corrosion resistance essential for handling oily, abrasive chips.

Maintenance is simplified with the design’s easy access to key components, while optional customization ensures the system can be tailored to specific operational requirements. Whether addressing the de-oiling of metal shavings or supporting chemical processing, the AS Series delivers reliable performance, backed by CEPA’s century-long expertise in centrifuge technology.
