Introducing MunchMan II Conveyor
August 1, 2014
"The MunchMan hinged steel belt conveyor, introduced at the 2012 IMTS show, was designed specifically to handle heavy chip loads with large stringy chips and balls of chips generated in milling and turning applications where high workpiece stock removal rates exist," said a company spokesperson.
Jorgen Conveyors has introduced these changes and design enhancements in the MunchMan II:
- Patent pending design improvements to the drive system which allow just one gear motor to run both drive shafts.
- New speed control functionality and a current overload sensor with JamManager programming safety device.
- The conveyor track has been reworked to offer rapid customer design modification and more efficient fabrication.
The MunchMan II twin-steel belt conveyor employs a 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 hold of chips and securely carry them up steep inclines, eliminating the risk of conveyor jams caused by chip balls tumbling back down the conveyor.
"The physical effect of two cleated moving belts compressing and moving the difficult long stringy chips and larger chip volumes is dramatic when compared to traditional single belt conveying systems," said Scott Bramow, Director of Engineering.
"The MunchMan II can be designed to effectively fit into most of today's CNC lathes and machining centers and has little or no effect on the space required compared to traditional single belt chip conveyors," said the spokesperson.
