WHAT IS A CHIP WRINGER?
A Chip Wringer (also known as a Centrifugal Chip Dryer) is a mechanical separation machine that uses centrifugal force to remove residual oil or coolant from metal machining chips. It helps in recovering expensive oils, reducing disposal weight, and making chips recyclable and dry for further processing.
