Abstract: A conveyor is provided for liquid media, such as cooling-lubricating liquids containing production residues, such as machinery chips. The conveyance takes place along a gutter via a driven scraper conveyor extending into it and extending along its linear direction and under the effects of a downslope of the bottom of the gutter. A separation of large-grained production residue from the liquid media containing fine-grained production residue is achieved already in the course of their conveyance in the gutter. This separation is made possible in that the gutter is divided into an upper and lower area via a perforated divider bottom extending along the length thereof and spaced apart from the gutter bottom. The lower area is a flushing channel to receive liquid media containing fine-grained production residue.

Abstract: A system is provided for disposing of coolant/lubricant liquids containing production residue returned in gutters or the pipe lines to a collection space. A pressure resistant reservoir is provided with a liquid media inlet pipe opening into an upper reservoir area. The liquid media is sucked into the reservoir by an evacuation device connected to an upper reservoir area. The liquid media is fed from the bottom of the reservoir to a downstream collecting tank by means of a return pump. By sucking the liquid media into an upper area of the pressure resistant reservoir, the reservoir can be disposed above ground level while the gutters and collection space are disposed near or below ground level.

Abstract: In a device for the disposal of liquid media, such as cooling-lubricating liquids containing production residue, such as chips from industrial processes, wherein these media can be returned via at least one pipe line to a return reservoir and from there through a pipe line connected near the bottom to at least one collecting tank by means of at least one return pump, it is intended to prevent deposits of production residue in the return reservoir and to clean it. This is accomplished in that the return reservoir has the approximate shape of a standing circular cylinder, in which at least one pipe line supplying liquid media terminates approximately tangentially. Because of this a circulating flow of the liquid media is generated in the return reservoir, which cleans the interior wall of the return reservoir and prevents the deposit of production residues.
