Chip Sludge Removal Machine(Foodie) Case Studies
Case Studies
Plastic Work Shop - Bakelite Chip Filtering Solutions
At a CNC plastic processing factory located in Taichung, Taiwan, large volumes of bakelite chips are generated during machining. These chips are flushed into the coolant tank along with cutting fluid, making cleanup labor-intensive and time-consuming. As a result, employee willingness to perform regular maintenance is low. Over time, accumulated chips can compromise machining precision, clog pipelines, and lead to equipment malfunctions or environmental concerns.
By integrating the HC FENG Foodie Chip/Sludge Removal Machine, the factory significantly streamlined its maintenance workflow. Designed specifically for efficient chip and sludge extraction, Foodie makes cleanup simple and fast. Its implementation not only reduced manual labor and health risks but also improved machining accuracy and overall production efficiency, delivering a win-win solution for both performance and sustainability.

Gear Machine Work Shop - Oil-based oil Sludge Removal Solutions
This machining factory in central Taiwan specializes in alloyed copper internal gears for 4th-axis rotary tables, using oil-based machining. Copper chips produced during processing often flow into the coolant tank with cutting fluid. Previously, workers had to stop the machine to manually clean the tank — a 20–30 minute process involving disassembly and exposure to cutting oil, which caused skin irritation and lowered cleaning motivation. Infrequent cleaning led to sludge buildup, reducing machining precision, increasing tool wear, and polluting the work environment. To solve this, they adopted Foodie by HC FENG — a high-efficiency chip sludge removal machine and CNC coolant tank cleaner. Foodie automates chip and sludge extraction, keeps coolant clean, and ensures stable machining without frequent downtime. The result: cleaner operations, better precision, and happier workers.
Case Studies
Grinding Machine Work Shop - Glass Fiber Sludge Cleanup Solutions
The work shop receives orders for grinding glass fibers. The powder chips of glass fibers are difficult to handle, because some will float on the surface of the coolant, and some will sink under the coolant tank.
In the past, the treatment method was to pick it up with a net first, dry it in the sun and then treat it as waste. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it needs enough space to dry them.
After our evaluation, we recommend FOODIE which has advantages such as no downtime, no consumables, plug-free, fast filtration, easy to move… etc.. We successfully won the customer's order and trust again.
