When you work with Hennig to select your application, consider these conveyor types:
Hinge (link, chain)
This proven conveyor solution is suitable for a variety of materials, chip types and chip loads. The most common conveyor type, hinge belts can be modified to handle troublesome waste such as tough scrap and heavy parts. Belt design options include plain, perforated, dimpled and combo. Standard belt pitches include 1.5” (38.1 mm) and 2.5” (63.0 mm), pitch. Added options: a coolant tank, heavy metal impact plates, top hat cover for large chip volumes and various cleat configurations. Hennig’s standard VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) offers customers the ability to regulate speeds for their application to help with chip load capacity and coolant carry-out. The VFD also offers M-code controls to operate the chip conveyor through the machine.
Scraper (drag, flight)
An ideal solution for fine chips and swarf, the scraper belt scrapes as it collects and drags chips up the incline to the discharge end. Standard scraper paddles can be customized with wipers. Options include a coolant tank, a chip basket and VFD controls. Additional options include wear-resistant construction with hardened rails and curves/bottom frame.
Magnetic
The magnetic conveyor is intended for ferrous material applications which produce small chips and fines.

Auger (screw)
The auger system is ideal for limited space applications. It can be installed in the machine tool or directly into the foundation.
Mobile (auger-assisting, portable)
The mobile conveyor provides machine tool operators an ergonomic way to lift chips into full-size barrel or hopper-high receptacles. It decreases machine clean-out tasks and eliminates related back fatigue. The portable conveyor can be used for periodic clean-out of multiple machines or dedicated to any machine generating high volumes of chips. Position it under the chip chute of any auger chip flume, plug it in and turn it on. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control is standard. A standard adjustable chip chute allows orientation of the chip hopper directly toward the tall section of the conveyor, to the right or to the left. Make these adjustments by unscrewing the four bolts holding the hopper in place, removing it, rotating it to the desired position and bolting it back in place.
Push-pull Bar (ram, bar)
Used to transport all types of swarf in large quantities, the push-pull bar system can be installed under or above the floor to suit your application. A prefiltration grid for coolant discharge and wearing plate with hardened bottom frame are options.
Custom and Turnkey Systems
Unique work environments. Specialized machine configurations. Varying chip volumes. These are just a few of the special requirements that indicate the need for a custom chip conveyor solution. Hennig engineers can create modified or special solutions to meet the needs of virtually any application, for example dust and gas removal during dry machining or part and scrap removal. If your conveyor system requires integration in the machine controls or automation beyond our standard control system, Hennig can build a tailored solution that does the job. If you are looking to further process your chips for shredding or recycling, we can integrate any of the technology required.
Conveyor Networks
Fully automate the waste removal in your facility with integrated coolant tanks and conveyor networks. For high-volume manufacturers, Hennig integrated systems can automate the removal of chips on one or all of the machine tools in the shop. The system allows the user to spend more time manufacturing and less time sweeping and moving chips.
Chip Disc Filtration (CDF)
Hennig’s unique, patented Chip Disc Filtration (CDF) technology enables high filtration levels, as low as 25-30 microns of nominal filtration, without the installation of two separate belts. Used with a hinge or scraper belt, this design provides a direct coolant flow path into the coolant reservoir. It can filter a wide variety of materials and chip types, both in water and oil-based coolant. The conveyor system can incorporate either a hinged or scraper belt conveyor with the disc filter. Standard features include the coolant tank, low-pressure pumps, high-pressure pumps and float switches. When through-the tool coolant is required, Hennig offers cyclonic, bag filter or cartridge filter in order to filter the required 5-10 microns of the needed filtration. Options include chillers, oil skimmers, all electrical requirements and single or multiple discs, based on coolant flow requirements. Filter diameter ranges from 10” to 12” and 16”.
Coolant TanksHennig can custom engineer integrated or auxiliary coolant tanks. Hennig’s heavy-gauge steel tanks provide leak-free service in harsh shop environments. Removable cover plates allow easy access to the tank’s interior, for rapid, easy maintenance. Liquid level sight gauges are standard. Baffles, chip baskets and removable screens can be added. Options include a bag, cartridge or cyclonic filters, float switches, oil skimmers, coolant pumps and integrated controls.
Reliable service and consistent parts availability are key factors in your conveyor/conveyor system selection process. When your conveyor needs service or repair, Hennig has parts to get your system up and running. We also have skilled personnel to repair and replace damaged parts.
Hennig has several service centers in North America, providing dependable assistance when worn belts or parts require replacement/repair. We also offer optional new system installation.

Stable, reliable, versatile – the aluminium profile fasteners from the item MB Building Kit System offer solutions for any application.
Even under heavy loads, the innovative fastening technology from item ensures a reliable hold for your aluminium profile constructions. However, depending on the application, certain aluminium profile fasteners will be more suitable than others. For example, when building prototypes and constructions that will be put together and taken apart again on a frequent basis, extendibility and flexible connections will be more important than high load-carrying capacity and low machining requirements. However, when it comes to permanent, standardised constructions that you require in several variants, the priorities are cost savings and rapid assembly. In this post, we will show you how to achieve typical fastenings.
Flexible, robust and high-quality – the item MB Building Kit System has been the optimum solution for all design and construction tasks in mechanical and factory equipment engineering for over 40 years.

The Standard-Fastening Sets offer a perfect solution for connecting profiles in permanent, fixed positions. They provide outstanding resistance to displacement and torsion. These aluminium profile fasteners are remarkable for their low machining requirements and cost-effectiveness. When using the one-sided variant of the Standard Fastener, panels don’t need to be specially machined before they can be fitted into the groove. It is available for Lines 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
The Universal-Fastening Set is ideal for retrofitting to existing constructions. Its unique features include combining high load-carrying capacity with movability and flexibility and its suitability for retrofitting. This only requires two stepped bores in the aluminium profile to be added (profile B). The aluminium profile fasteners can be pre-positioned in the groove of profile A. They can then be pushed into the stepped bores on profile B and tightened in one simple step. Once attached using the Universal Fasteners, profile B can be moved along the profile groove. Universal-Fastening Sets are available for Lines 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
If you are looking to create a strong, movable, right-angled profile connection fast, then the Automatic-Fastening Sets are just what you need. When it comes to assembly, the huge advantage of these is that absolutely no machine-based profile machining is required. The fasteners are screwed directly into the groove, at the end face of profile A. T-Slot Nuts are inserted into the groove of profile B, and the aluminium profile fasteners from profile A are then screwed into these. Since assembly is so fast and there is no need for profile machining, Automatic Fasteners are ideal for retrofitting to an existing construction. They are available for Lines 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12.

There are two solutions for connecting together identical, colinear item aluminium profiles via their end faces. The Universal-Butt-Fastening Set is attached using one stepped bore per profile, and provides a connection with a high load-carrying capacity. It is available for all lines. The Automatic Butt-Fastening Set offers an alternative for Lines 5, 6, 8 and 12. No profile machining is required for this, which keeps assembly work to a minimum. Two profiles from the same Line (6 or 8) mitred at the same angle can be connected using a Mitre-Butt-Fastening Set. This can also be used to fasten mitre cuts to a closed frame.
If you are intending to connect together crossing Line 8 aluminium profiles, you can use the Click-Fastening Sets. They can be fitted in any position along the groove particularly fast. Adjusting the angle or position and dismantling the connection is quick and easy – simply loosen and retighten the Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screw. Alternatively, the Direct-Fastening Sets are also suitable for friction-based connections where the profile sides touch. Neither the Direct-Fastening Sets nor the Click-Fastening Sets require any profile machining and both can therefore be retrofitted to existing constructions.
Profile Tube System D30 from item is perfect for building factory equipment fast and implementing lean production concepts. The associated fasteners enable you to establish strong connections – whether you are aiming to connect smooth Tubes or Profile Tubes. The D30 fastening elements also provide exceptional tolerance compensation. The tubes can be cut up to 5 mm shorter without reducing the holding force of the connection. Furthermore, the fasteners automatically create a contact between the components that safely dissipates harmful electrostatic charges – ESD protection is therefore built-in. In addition, Fasteners D30 allow users to combine Profile Tubes with standard profiles. No additional machining has to be carried out on the Tubes or profiles in order to use the fastening elements.
The item Click-Fastening Set 90° for Line 8 is a speedy solution for making a right-angled profile connection at any angle of rotation. The connection can subsequently be moved and retrofitted to existing structures, making it ideal for flexible constructions such as prototypes and temporary structures. Click-Fastening Set 90° is attached to the end face of a profile via a threaded bore, meaning profile A can simply be clicked into profile B and tightened. When building permanent structures, Direct-Fastening Set 90° is a better option. This fastener also uses an end-face threaded bore to connect the end face of profile A directly to the grooved side of profile B. Both fasteners are available for Line 8.
These fasteners already cover a broad range of applications, but it goes without saying that there are plenty of other ways of connecting together aluminium profiles and other elements of the MB Building Kit System. Go to our Online Shop for fasteners to discover more options.
