Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Systems, now a member of the Innovance family of companies, featured its EcoFilter® filtration conveyor equipped with advanced filtration and coolant solutions at IMTS 2024. Visitors to Jorgensen’s booth saw the company’s EcoFilter 80 self-cleaning conveyor equipped with a Will-Fill automated coolant solution and PermaClean system.
Jorgensen’s EcoFilter 80 self-cleaning conveyor enables efficient filtration of fine chips to 80-microns nominal and is the first economical non-drum style conveyor below 100-micron filtration. EcoFilter conveyors use a two-stage chip removal and filtration process that carries out large chips on a hinged steel belt. Fine chips flow with used coolant between the belt runs to a flow-through EcoFilter cell where they are separated from the coolant.
Clean coolant is discharged to the coolant tank while filtered fines are brushed from the filter screen and flow to the bottom of the conveyor. There they are picked up by the belt cleats and discharged. By dramatically reducing the number of chips migrating to a machine tool coolant tank, it decreases downtime for tank cleaning and maintenance. As a result, users see improved pump, tooling, and coolant life for less waste and better part surface finishes.
In addition to the EcoFilter 80, the company offers an EcoFilter 200 option for filtration of fine chips to 200 microns. The conveyors fit a standard conveyor envelope and can be retrofitted to Jorgensen EcoFilter-Ready conveyors.
The EcoFilter 80 displayed at IMTS was equipped with the revolutionary Will-Fill add-on solution that offers trouble-free care and monitoring of metalworking emulsion. The system combines automatic measuring, filling and conditioning and can alert operators via Wi-Fi capability when atten-tion is required. The system easily adapts to Jorgensen’s line of filtration systems as well as retrofits onto customers’ existing coolant systems. Added to the system was Jorgensen’s PermaClean filtration system that eliminates sludge by adding agitation to the coolant collection tank.
PermaClean can be incorporated into Jorgensen’s multi-step filtration system that includes the EcoFilter conveyor, additional filtration, and fine filtration for high-pressure applications. It is also adaptable as an option to many filtration systems on the market.
