Twin-stacked conveyor arrangement grabs, compacts chips

The MunchMan® II chip and scrap removal conveyor has been introduced by Jorgensen Conveyors Inc.

The unit employs a twin-stacked conveyor arrangement at the lower curve and through the incline and chip discharge of the system. The primary and secondary belts run in opposite directions to grab chips, compact them, and carry them up steep inclines, eliminating the risk of conveyor jams caused by chip balls tumbling back down the conveyor.

The patent-pending drive system allows one gearmotor to run both drive shafts. The UVS Ecologic® conveyor control with JamManager™ automatically reverses to clear jams by itself.

The conveyor can be designed to fit into most CNC lathes and machining centers.
