Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for compacting metal chips comprising a power screw; a compactor cylinder adapted to receive metal chips from one end and to receive the power screw from another end to compact the metal chips; a worm gear operably connected to the power screw for applying pressure to the compactor cylinder; a motor; a worm screw adapted to be powered by the motor and to be connected to the worm gear for rotating the worm gear when the motor is in operation; a sensor for measuring the velocity of the power screw; and a microcontroller adapted to be connected to the motor and to the sensor; wherein the microcontroller is adapted to power the motor for rotation as long as the velocity of the power screw is above a given velocity threshold and to stop powering the motor when the velocity reaches said given velocity threshold.

Abstract: The cable cleaning and rolling system combines an automated cleaning and winding system for industrial cables and the like with a water filtration system for recycling the water used to clean the cable. The cable cleaning and rolling system includes a hollow base, a feed drum and a receiving drum. The feed drum is adapted for releasably retaining and feeding the cable to be cleaned, and the receiving drum is adapted for receiving and rolling the cable after it has been cleaned and dried. At least one nozzle, for spraying cleaning water on the cable, at least one brush, for scrubbing the cable, and a blower, for drying the cable, are positioned between the feed drum and the receiving drum. Waste water from the cleaning is received within the hollow base, extracted therefrom, and delivered to a water filtration unit for recycling.

Abstract: The invention resides in an apparatus for treatment of a substance. The apparatus has a substance tube for enabling a substance to be treated to pass in to the substance tube via the substance-inlet and out of the substance tube through the substance-outlet. The apparatus also has a cleaning chamber, wherein the substance tube is configured in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber to enable a substance to diffuse the permeable membrane between the substance tube and the cleaning chamber such that a substance can be substantially cleaned by a cleaner, the substance comprising blood or plasma and the cleaner comprising a cell culture. The substance tube is removably connectable with the cleaning chamber for inter-changeability or serviceability. The apparatus can further comprise a support compartment configured to connect to, or enclosing, the cleaning chamber, which functions to carry a fluid to substantially maintain the functionality of the cleaner.
