Conveyors Power Continuous, Steady and Predictable Material Flows
These systems provide the reliable backbone necessary for peak operational performance in the metalworking industry, which is defined by precision and heavy-duty demands.
Conveyor Eliminates Chip Jams for Good
The MunchMan® hinged steel Dual-Belt Conveyor is unique to Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions (MEQUON, WI). The conveyor is well-suited for turning and milling applications that produce long, stringy or nested balls of chips and is designed to greatly reduce or eliminate conveyor jamming problems.
The MunchMan employs a unique twin-belt conveyor arrangement through the lower curve, incline and chip discharge areas of the system. The primary and secondary belts run in unison to grab hold of chips, compress them and securely carry them up steep inclines, eliminating the risk of conveyor jams caused by chip balls tumbling at the lower curve or jamming in the incline section. This patent-pending system is both efficient and cost-effective in eliminating costly machine downtime.
AR400 wear-resistant steel is used in all conveyor wear areas. Ultimate conveyor control and functionality are provided with the UVS Ecologic Control® and JamManager™ performance. MunchMan conveyors are custom fabricated to customer requirements and have essentially the same space requirements of traditional, single-belt chip conveyors. It is compatible with other Jorgensen filtration options such as EcoFilter® and PermaClean. The MunchMan conveyor is recommended as a feeder conveyor for Jorgensen’s Chip Processing System.
Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors Engineered for High Capacities and Extended Travel
Advanced Lifts (St. Charles, IL) offers Mechanical Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs), which are engineered to move goods and materials safely and efficiently between floor levels in manufacturing, warehouse and distribution environments. These versatile lifts deliver reliable vertical transport for a wide range of applications and are available in multiple configurations to meet the demands of each facility.
Mechanical VRCs are ideal for multi-level stops and high-travel applications, offering C, Z, or L loading patterns to accommodate various layouts. Each unit can be floor mounted or pit mounted, with platform sizes and capacities tailored to specific operational needs. All controllers are assembled in Advance Lifts’ UL-listed panel shop, ensuring adherence to recognized safety and quality standards. Every model conforms to ASME B20.1 and the referenced VRC guidelines for vertical conveyors, guaranteeing compliance and consistent, dependable performance.
Each unit is powered by motors equipped with integral holding brakes to prevent unintended carriage movement, while double chains provide exceptional lifting strength and durability. Mechanical locking brakes automatically engage in the unlikely event of a chain failure, delivering an added layer of protection for both loads and operators. These redundant safety systems make Mechanical VRCs a trusted choice for high-volume material handling across industries such as manufacturing, automotive and more.
The VRCs are backed by a five-year structural warranty and a one-year electrical warranty.
