LX-700 Hydraulic Aluminum Chip Cutting Machine

Industrial Cold-Cutting Equipment for Aluminum Powder Raw Material Preparation

1. Product Overview

The LX-700 Hydraulic Aluminum Chip Cutting Machine is specialized equipment designed for the cold cutting of aluminum ingots into aluminum chips.

Due to the high ductility, toughness and adhesion characteristics of aluminum, continuous and high-volume chip production can be challenging using conventional machining methods. The LX-700 has been developed with an optimized cutting-tool configuration, rigid machine structure and properly matched cutting and feeding parameters to provide stable and efficient aluminum chip production.

The machine is primarily used as a front-end chip-making unit for aluminum powder processing lines. The aluminum chips produced by the LX-700 can be further processed through crushing, milling, classification, surface treatment or passivation processes according to the required final particle size and application.

Typical Material Flow

Aluminum Ingot → Aluminum Chips → Crushing / Milling → Classification → Passivation / Surface Treatment → Aluminum Powder

2. Main Applications

The LX-700 is suitable for industrial applications requiring continuous production of aluminum chips from aluminum ingots.

Typical applications include:

Aluminum chip production

Aluminum powder raw-material preparation

Aluminum ingot cold cutting

Metallurgical raw-material processing

Chemical-industry aluminum chip production

The equipment can be integrated into a complete aluminum powder processing line together with downstream crushing, milling, classification and passivation equipment.

3. Machine Configuration

The complete LX-700 system mainly consists of three sections:

3.1 Main Cutting Machine

The main machine is the core processing unit of the system. It performs the feeding, positioning, clamping and cold cutting of aluminum ingots.

The cutting assembly is designed for continuous aluminum chip production and incorporates replaceable cemented-carbide cutting inserts.

3.2 Hydraulic Power Unit

The hydraulic power unit supplies hydraulic power for:

Aluminum ingot clamping

Material feeding

Hydraulic cylinder operation

Feed-speed adjustment

Directional control of hydraulic actuators

The hydraulic system is designed for stable and reliable operation.

3.3 Electrical Control Cabinet

The electrical control cabinet integrates the electrical and control components required for machine operation.

Its main functions include:

Cutting-tool drive control

Hydraulic pump start/stop control

Hydraulic valve directional control

Material feeding control

Operating parameter adjustment

Automatic control functions

The main machine, hydraulic power unit and electrical control cabinet are interconnected using aviation-style industrial connectors, providing convenient installation, disconnection and maintenance.

4. Working Principle

The LX-700 uses a hydraulically controlled feeding and clamping system combined with a rotating cutting tool to continuously cut aluminum ingots into chips.

5. Typical Aluminum Powder Processing Flow

For customers who intend to use the LX-700 as part of an aluminum powder production system, the typical process can be arranged as follows:

Finished Aluminum Powder

The downstream process configuration should be selected according to the required powder particle size, morphology, surface condition and final application.

6. Key Features & Advantages

6.1 High Productivity

The LX-700 is designed for continuous industrial aluminum chip production with a rated production capacity of:

≥150 kg/h

Actual capacity may vary depending on aluminum grade, ingot dimensions, cutting parameters and required chip characteristics.

6.2 Optimized Cutting System

The machine is equipped with cemented-carbide cutting inserts designed to withstand continuous cutting conditions.

The cutting system provides:

High wear resistance

Long tool life

Stable cutting performance

Convenient insert replacement

Reduced maintenance downtime

6.3 Replaceable Mechanically Clamped Toolholder

The cutting tool adopts a mechanically clamped structure.

When the cutting insert reaches the end of its service life, the worn insert can be replaced without replacing the complete cutting assembly.

This design simplifies maintenance and reduces tool replacement time.

6.4 Rigid Machine Structure

The LX-700 features a rigid machine frame and wide guide-rail structure to provide stable material feeding and cutting.

Key benefits include:

High structural rigidity

Stable cutting operation

Low operating noise

High processing efficiency

Reliable long-term operation

6.5 Adjustable Hydraulic Feeding

The hydraulic feeding system provides controlled and adjustable material movement.

Push Cylinder Stroke:

850 mm

Adjustable Feeding Length:

100–900 mm

Maximum Push Speed:

1,000 mm/min

Adjustable Feed Speed:

300–1,000 mm/min

This allows the cutting parameters to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the aluminum material and the required chip size.

6.6 Wide Guide-Rail Design

The machine adopts a wide guide-rail structure suitable for processing aluminum ingots with widths of approximately:

60–200 mm

The wide guide system helps maintain stable material positioning during feeding and cutting.

6.7 Reliable Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system uses hydraulic components supplied by established domestic manufacturers.

The system is designed for:

Stable hydraulic operation

Reliable material feeding

Low failure rate

Convenient commissioning

Easy maintenance

The hydraulic power unit adopts a modular stacked-valve configuration, facilitating system adjustment and maintenance.

6.8 Easy Operation

The LX-700 is designed for straightforward operation and a high degree of automation.

The material head/end section can be automatically discharged, reducing manual handling requirements and improving operating efficiency.

6.9 Convenient Electrical Connection

The main machine, hydraulic power unit and electrical control cabinet use aviation-style connectors for electrical connections.

This provides:

Convenient installation

Quick disconnection

Easy maintenance

Reliable electrical connection

7. Aluminum Chip Characteristics

The LX-700 is designed to produce relatively short, segmented / nodular aluminum chips.

The resulting chips can be advantageous for subsequent processing because they can be further processed through:

Crushing → Milling → Classification → Surface Treatment / Passivation

The final chip morphology and particle size depend on:

Aluminum grade

Material hardness

Ingot dimensions

Cutting-tool geometry

Feed speed

Cutting conditions

Downstream processing requirements

8. Main Technical Specifications

* Material compatibility should be confirmed based on the specific aluminum grade, alloy composition, hardness, ingot dimensions and required chip characteristics before final equipment selection.
