In 2018, KNOLL and NUOSUN established a Sino-German joint venture in Shanghai, called KNOLL Machinery China Co., Ltd. to produce filters and chip conveyors for China's machine tool manufacturers, thus opening the new journey of "German technology & Made in China".
In metal cutting process, a large amount of chips will be generated. These chips must be transported out of the machine in time, and the used coolant must be sent back to the clean coolant tank after filtering the chips and impurities. In addition to the production of various chip removal, filtration and pumping devices, KNOLL also produces various central coolant filtration systems and chip conveying systems. KNOLL main products include:
According to different project requirements, customers usually consider the layout of the plant, machine tool production line, processing technology, materials, chip volume, chip conveying path, degree of automation, flexibility, environmental protection and corresponding input costs. The entire production line is connected by a central filtration and chip removal system, which centrally processes the chips and coolant of all machine tools in the system, thereby obtaining a cost-effective solution.
Manufacturing companies produce a lot of metal chips of various materials every day. The stand-alone chip conveyors of the machine tools often cause problems such as workshop pollution and chaotic chip management. According to the layout of the machine tools in the factory, KNOLL can customize the central chip removal system to crush, dry, transport and press the chips, so as to achieve the overall effective treatment of the plant chips and clean management of the plant.
In the field of carbide tool manufacturing, a
large number of abrasive chips generated by many tool grinding machine tools
can be processed in a unified manner through the use of the KNOLL MicroPur®
centralized filtration system. The grinding oil lubricant can be effectively
managed to improve the lubrication quality and service life time, effectively recover
expensive abrasive chips. MicroPur® 480M-24 |AK50 ultrafine grinding central
filtration system can be applied in the field of carbide tool manufacturing,
supplying and managing grinding oil for 120 tool grinders with a maximum flow
rate of up to 11,000 l/min and can be expanded up to 15,000 l/min.
TS heavy-duty conveying system
is an ideal material transportation system. It can transport light or heavy
materials such as workpieces on the production assembly line. The system is
equipped with load-bearing pallets, delivery vehicles, assembly platforms,
loading and unloading appliances. Based on the modular design concept, the
entire system can be designed and assembled according to the customer's site,
and also has a user-friendly visual interface, operator information system and
process control system.
KNOLL produces various types of machine tool
filters, such as scroll filters, back-flush filters, rotary vacuum filters,
paper belt filters, static pressure filters and vacuum filters.
MicroPur® ultra-precision filtration system
adopts the form of backflush filtration, used to separate impurities such as
fine particles in oil or aqueous solution. It is widely used in the field of
carbide tool grinding, high-speed steel and other materials, and the filtration
accuracy is less than 5 microns. Whether it is a single machine or a complete
production line, KNOLL can provide a suitable single set of filters or a
central filtration system solution. MicroPur® ultrafine filtration system can
directly recover valuable abrasive debris materials, low power consumption and
low maintenance costs.
KNOLL produces various types of pumping
stations, which can be installed beside the machine tool or under the bed.
Various types of conveying devices can realize the automatic transportation of
chips and coolant, suitable for the transportation of cast iron, aluminum and
steel chips.
LubiCool mobile high-pressure station
produced by KNOLL can be flexibly applied to the supply of high-pressure
coolant for various machine tools. It occupies a compact area and owns functions
of filtration and plug-and-play, especially suitable for deep-hole drilling,
processing of difficult-to-cut materials (such as high-temperature alloys,
titanium alloys, copper, etc.), equipment transformation and renovation.
The chip reducer produced by KNOLL includes the
types of single-row cutter and double-row cutter, which can be installed below
machine bed or directly under the outlet of chip conveyor to crush the discharged
chips in order to easily facilitate the transportation of chips and subsequent
processing.
KTS high-pressure pump has a structure of three
screw spindles. The manufacturing precision of the screw is very high and it
also has a high degree of anti-wear characteristics. The ceramic inner shell
increases the abrasion resistance and durability of the pump. During operation,
the vibration and noise of the pump are very low, the stability to temperature
changes is extremely high. To be equipped with different options can further enhance
pump durability. The pump can be directly immersed in the cooling lubricant or installed
outside the coolant tank. The flow rate of KTS pump can reach 900 l/mim and the pressure
can reach 150 bar. KTS pump is widely used in machine tool manufacturing
industry to transmit cooling lubricants (such as oil, emulsion and other
solutions) at high pressure. Its typical application is the high-pressure injection
of coolant through tool center bore during milling and drilling processes to
cool and lubricate tool and flush chips.
