I put a regulator on the airline at the machine and I turned the pressure down to 40PSI. That works well for me and doesn't blow stuff all over the garage.

To scoop chips out, I have a cat litter scoop and I will shovel chips into a deep sink I have on wheels with a 5 gallon bucket under it. I'll let that sit over night then dump the coolant back into the machine
