What Are Chip Screws?
A chip screw, also known as a replacement chip spiral, is a helical component used to move metal chips away from cutting areas in machine tools. It works in conjunction with conveyor systems to continuously remove debris generated during machining operations. By maintaining a clear work area, chip screws improve machine productivity, reduce manual cleanup, and protect operators from potential hazards.
At Reinke & Schomann, we focus on producing chip screws that deliver reliable machine tool chip removal. Each unit is engineered to resist wear, maintain shape, and operate smoothly under heavy loads, making it a critical component for metalworking processes.
Materials and Construction
Our chip screws are primarily constructed from a range of materials including steel and stainless steel steel, offering strength and long service life. Every screw is manufactured using precision rolling and machining processes, with certified welding where required.
Customers can choose from standard designs or request modifications to meet specific application requirements. The result is a durable, high-performance chip screw that contributes to reliable machine tool chip removal every cycle.
Sizes and Configurations
Reinke & Schomann provides chip screws in a variety of sizes, typically ranging from 1.5″ outer diameter. We offer multiple configurations:
- Plain spiral – fits existing drive coupling for more cost effective simple replacement
- Complete screw assemblies – fully fabricated units ready for installation
- Customer part remanufacturing – reworking worn screws to restore original performance
This flexibility allows customers to maintain operational efficiency while minimizing inventory needs and replacement lead time.
