ABSTRACT:
A scrap collection system for collecting scraps produced when materials such as metals and plastics are processed by a processing machine such as a pressing machine and a lathe. A scrap receiver receives scraps from the processing machine and has at least one hopper positioned beneath the processing machine. A scrap collector box vertically below the hopper has at least one opening into which a conduit is directed for delivering scraps into the scrap collector box, and at least one opening having a filter for discharging air from the scrap collector box. A single unconstricted and unobstructed scrap conveying conduit extends in a straight vertical path from the hopper to the scrap collector box, and an air ejector is connected in the conduit at a position between the scrap receiver and scrap collector box and having an air passage opening into the periphery of the scrap passage at an angle to the scrap passage and toward the scrap collector box for ejecting high pressure air through the conduit in a direction toward the scrap collector box for creating a suction effect for moving scraps from the scrap receiver to the scrap collector box.
