Chip Management Explained

Chip management is the collection, storage, segregation, and processing of all components of machining scrap (chips, fluids, solids) as they move from tool to their final destination.Chip management gains the substantial advantages of chip processing across the manufacturing plant, and, if recycling / reuse is in-house, also across the manufacturing enterprise.

Dynamic Chip Management (DCM) is a proactive approach based on using equipment that can continuously optimize chip management, even as chip configurations, fluid types, saturation, volumes,  technology, legislation, regulatory requirements, and production processes change. DCM is the approach Inter-Source uses to implement the most efficient and cost-effective solution to your needs.

The term “dynamic” is appropriate for several reasons:

First, it describes today’s manufacturing environment. Your business must constantly evolve, adapt, and innovate to stay competitive, while meeting new regulatory requirements.

That’s why you need to be able to dynamically react–changing alloys, parts or processes.  If the chips you produce change, how they’re handled and processed may also need to change for maximum payback.  Because Inter-Source engineers and manufactures the complete line of chip management components, everything fits and connects.  The components are made to work together even as they evolve: Dynamic Chip Management.

Dynamic also describes our research and development approach.  Inter-Source continually engineers technological advancements to improve chip management.  We hold nearly two dozen patents in multiple countries.  In fact, the chip management industry’s most substantial innovations of the last three decades were developed by Inter-Source.

Chip management optimization is all we do, and it’s all we’ve done since 1984.  Our customers rely on us not only to provide the best system today, but also to ensure that as we pioneer advancements they are deployable and rugged, time-proven Inter-Source installations.  Such dynamic customer support means your Inter-Source equipment’s ROI may actually accelerate.

DCM may be summarized by the results:

• Dry, clean chips, optimized for reprocessing or sale.
• Creative, innovative solutions to minimize the costs and liabilities associated with chip and fluid handling.
• Maximized fluid reclamation to reduce your operating costs and impact on the environment.

Dynamic Chip Management provides a secondary plant-floor profit stream.  Let Inter-Source show you how to put your manufacturing byproducts back into your bottom line.
