ABSTRACT:
Each line of a multi-line machine tool installation is provided with a sluiceway for receiving coolant/lubricant liquid drained from the machine tools of the line as well as for receiving swarf from those machine tools. Flushing jets are mounted at intervals along the line for flushing swarf along the sluiceway. Liquid supply to each flushing jet is controlled by a respective shut-off valve which is normally closed. A pump drains liquid from a stream of such liquid that is being fed under pressure to the machine tools for use as coolant/lubricant during machining, and feeds that liquid to the shut-off valves under an increased pressure. The shut-off valves are opened automatically one at a time in a predetermined sequence.
