Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions, Mequon, Wisconsin, highlighted its distinctive MunchMan hinged steel Dual-Belt Conveyor at IMTS 2024. Unique to Jorgensen, the MunchMan 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.
