Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions features products from its lineup of conveyor, material handling, coolant and filtration solutions at IMTS 2024. Visitors to its booth will experience a PermaClean system equipped with the custom EcoFilter80 self-cleaning conveyor and a Will-Fill automated coolant system; MunchMan Dual-Belt Conveyor; FlexForce high-pressure system with a chiller option; next-generation Magnetic Conveyor for ferrous materials; ER20T Eco Briquette Press; and the Flex G line that’s part of the company’s FlexFiltration systems.

Jorgensen’s EcoFilter80 self-cleaning conveyor enables filtration of fine chips to 80-microns nominal. It is said to be the first economical non-drum style conveyor offering filtration below 100-micron. EcoFilter conveyors use non-disposable filter boxes that can reduce chips and particulate from migrating to a machine tool coolant tank. Users may experience reduced downtime for tank cleaning and maintenance as well as improved pump, tooling and coolant life.

The EcoFilter80 is part of the PermaClean system. The PermaClean system adds options for secondary tank filtration and can eliminate sludge build up by adding agitation to the coolant collection tank. PermaClean can be incorporated into Jorgensen’s multi-step filtration system and is said to be adaptable as an option to nearly any filtration system on the market.

The PermaClean system is also equipped with a Will-Fill total coolant health system that offers monitoring of metalworking emulsion. The system combines automatic measuring, filling and conditioning. It alerts operators via a flashing color LED, buzzer or e-mail when attention is required.

For applications that produce long, stringy or nested balls of chips, Jorgensen’s MunchMan dual-belt conveyor is a heavy-duty unit designed to grab chips as they move into the conveyor’s incline section, reduces or eliminates conveyor jamming problems. MunchMan conveyors are custom fabricated to meet customer requirements and are compatible with other Jorgensen coolant management options.

Booth visitors can also see a custom FlexForce high-pressure coolant system for through-spindle coolant system (TSC) applications. Jorgensen is displaying the 1,000-psi configuration featuring a chiller option. FlexForce gets coolant directly to the cutting zone, which can improve lubrication and heat dissipation. According to the company, outcomes improved cutting speeds and feeds, chip control and part surface finishes.

For moving ferrous materials such as small chips, fines, small parts and stamping slugs, the company is displaying its next-generation Magnetic conveyor. The conveyor has been redesigned and built using updated engineering and manufacturing standards for improved performance. According to the company, Jorgensen’s Magnetic conveyors are effective in heavy oil and grease applications, custom fabricated, safe and maintenance friendly.

Jorgensen’s metal compacting solutions are designed for sustainable manufacturing and recycling. Visitors to the booth can see the ER20T Briquette Press that uses hydraulic pressure to condense chips while pushing out residual cutting fluid. Jorgensen’s chip processing solutions include turn-key systems for chip shredding, wringing and compacting and can be effective for steel, aluminum, titanium, brass, cast iron and grinding sludges.

Additionally, Jorgensen showcases its modular FlexFiltration system with the Flex G Series in a 25-gpm configuration. Flex G Series systems use gravity media filtration and come standard with low media roll detection, no media alarm sensor and automatic roll advance. FlexFiltration systems feature either cyclonic bag or gravity media filtration options that can be configured to remove fine chips and grinding sludge down to 10 microns or less. They are suited for applications involving materials ranging from cast iron, steel and aluminum to composites and plastics.
