LNS North America’s Turbo MF4 is the latest generation of filtering chip conveyors, using a dual conveyor system and self-cleaning filter drum to manage chip materials of all shapes, sizes and weights. The conveyor is said to handle fine, coarse, stringy and bushy mixed materials, including heavy chip loads, stringy birds’ nests and large chunks. As a result, this chip management system is well suited for unattended and lights-out production, the company says.

With filtration to 50 microns, the machine sump is said to remain free of contaminants, pumps are protected from damage, and only clean coolant recirculates through the machining process. This is said to reduce maintenance costs, extend both tooling and coolant life, and improve machine uptime.

The company says the upper conveyor efficiently transports heavy loads, while the lower, scraper-type conveyor removes remaining small particles which are collected in the filter drum and deposited onto the incline.

Turbo MF4 has a compact design that is said to use no more floor space than most standard hinge-belt conveyors, enabling installation in tight areas, too.
