Easy way to get chips into floor system?
(OP)
We are a machine tool manufacturer that has trouble with getting cut metal chips down into the customers floor sluice. We basically have a sloped (4 sided) chute in our machine base that might get grease on it and hence, chips stick and build up to bad proportions. I'm looking for a way to clean or prevent this from happening, without relying on the operator to manually clear problems.

How about attaching a one way or stiff enough "flapper" plate to some part of the machine that moves along the trough? I've seen that done many times to move chips.
