SFH offers washing machines that use chemical products to effectively eliminate hydrocarbons carried over by cutting oils and emulsions present on the swarf.
Washing in order to recycle machining chips
In the superalloy and titanium alloy recycling industry, the cleanliness of metal chips prior to remelting is essential for the chemical composition of these alloys
The functions of a swarf washing line:
- Remove hydrocarbons carried over by cutting oils and chip emulsions
- Respect the residual carbon content in alloy formulations (we achieve chip surface carbon contents of less than 0.01%)
- Remove certain impurities carried over by water from emulsions
- Dry the chips to comply with the humidity levels acceptable by furnaces, and remelt them safely
- Recycle superalloys to a premium grade or aerospace grade
- Carry out the above processes with acid chemicals or alkaline chemicals, chosen in partnership with the user, in compliance with current environmental standards
- Ensure the recycling of rare, precious and geopolitically difficult-to-access resources and raw materials such as titanium or inconel-type nickel alloys
