Full Profile Scrap Conveyor for Heavy-Duty Metalworking
When your machine shop or production line generates a steady stream of metal chips, turnings, stampings, or process scrap, the conveyor handling that material needs to keep pace without jamming, stalling, or creating maintenance headaches. The Titan Model 630 is the full profile workhorse of Titan’s hinged steel belt conveyor family—built heavier, configured more flexibly, and rated for higher chain pull loads than the low profile models in the lineup.
Where the Model 620 fits tight spaces with its 7-inch deep frame, the Model 630 steps up with a deeper full profile frame, 3/16″ thick track, and four distinct frame configurations that adapt to a wider range of machine-tool installations. For facilities running multiple CNC machining centers, transfer lines, stamping presses, or forging cells, the 630 provides the structural capacity and layout flexibility that production-scale scrap removal demands.
Construction and Specifications
The Model 630 is built around a formed 10-gauge steel frame with 3/16″ thick track—noticeably heavier than the low profile models in Titan’s line. The standard belt is a 2½” pitch hinged steel construction with a 12-gauge apron and 1½” high stamped sidewings. Belt widths range from 6″ to 36″ as standard, with special widths available on request.
The drive sprocket is a 6-tooth design with a 5″ pitch diameter, larger than the 5-tooth, 4.25″ P.D. sprockets on the Model 620. This larger sprocket provides smoother belt engagement and better chain pull distribution, which matters in longer conveyor runs and steeper inclines carrying heavier chip loads.
Chain pull capacity is rated at 1,500 lbs without sidebars and 3,000 lbs with sidebars. The standard drive is a ½ HP motor (230/460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz) at 30 FPM, with speeds configurable from 5 to 50 FPM. Higher horsepower options—¾, 1, 1½, and 2 HP—are available, along with 115/230V single-phase, 575V three-phase, severed duty, inverter duty, and brake motor configurations.
Four Frame Configurations
One of the key advantages the Model 630 has over lighter-duty chip conveyors is the availability of four distinct frame configurations. This flexibility allows the same core conveyor platform to be adapted for horizontal runs, inclined discharge into bins or hoppers, below-floor sump evacuation, and combination horizontal-to-incline layouts. The top-mounted drive with 8½” clearance is standard, with optional side-mounted drive available for applications where vertical clearance is limited or the drive needs to be positioned away from the discharge point.
Three standard curve angles—30, 45, and 60 degrees—handle the most common incline requirements. Other degree curves are available as custom options for non-standard machine layouts.
Belt and Sidewing Options
The standard plain apron belt works well for general chip removal. For applications that require coolant drainage, liquid separation, or improved grip on steep inclines, Titan offers perforated, pimpled, and combination pimpled-and-perforated apron styles. Additional belt options include welded barrels for handling specific chip shapes, impact plates for applications where heavy parts or stampings drop onto the belt, and wiper cleats for controlling chip carryover at the discharge point. Segmented belts, balanced weave belts, and plastic belt alternatives are also available for specialized applications.
Sidebars can be added to narrower belts to increase chain pull capacity from 1,500 lbs to 3,000 lbs, and custom side rail heights can be specified to contain larger chip volumes or bulkier scrap pieces.
Controls, Accessories, and Custom Options
The Model 630 supports a full range of accessories that tailor the conveyor to the specific production environment. Marine bearings or outboard bearings can be supplied depending on the application. Additional options include coolant tanks, discharge chutes, plumbing for coolant return, top covers, chip suppressors, casters for portable setups, liquid-tight bottom pans, 3-bolt flange bearings or T-slot bearings at the infeed, and a rotary belt brush for cleaning the return side of the belt.
Control options include E-stop, photo eye sensors, 24V DC circuitry, zero-speed switches for detecting belt stalls, expanded metal guard covers, plexiglass chain guard covers, and oilers for belt lubrication. Custom paint colors are available to match facility standards.
Model 630 vs. Model 620: Choosing the Right Chip Conveyor
Both the 620 and 630 use a 2½” pitch hinged steel belt, but they serve different application tiers. The Model 620 is a low profile unit with a 7″ deep frame, 5-tooth sprockets, and a simpler configuration set—ideal for tight spaces and moderate chip loads. The Model 630 is the full profile unit with a deeper frame, 3/16″ track, 6-tooth sprockets, 12-gauge apron as standard, four frame configurations, sidebar chain pull options, and a wider range of drive and bearing choices.
If your application requires higher chain pull, wider belts, longer horizontal runs, more configuration flexibility, or heavier structural construction, the 630 is the appropriate starting point. If space is the primary constraint and chip loads are moderate, the 620 may be the better fit.
