Abstract: A device for reducing steel or metal chips from material removing machining which has a tapered milling hopper connected with a feed hopper and a cutter head shaft having a rotating cutter head. The milling hopper has tearing units mounted at varying heights around its circumference, a milling mechanism arranged beneath the milling hopper, and an outlet channel in the lower region of the milling hopper but above the opening of a chip discharge sheet which can be opened and closed by means of a powered channel slide. In the open position of the powered channel the powered channel provides access to a recess in the discharge channel which is connected a coarse material ejection sheet running obliquely outwards. The milling mechanism connects of at least two superimposed annular milling discs which can be rotating shearing head with shearing blades about its circumference and spaced shearing grooves.
