WORKING PRINCIPLE
- Chips fall onto the moving slats (hinged plates).
- The slats move linearly via chain drive, transporting chips to the discharge end.
- Chips are either collected in a bin or dumped into a centralized system.
- Coolant (if present) is drained separately through perforated slats or dedicated lines.
