Turbo MF4, the latest generation of filtering chip conveyors from LNS North America, uses a dual conveyor system and self-cleaning filter drum to manage chip materials of all shapes, sizes and weights. In real-world installations, Turbo MF4 is proven to handle fines, coarse, stringy and bushy mixed materials including heavy chip loads, stringy birds-nests and large chunks. As a result, this chip management system is ideal for worry-free unattended and lights-out production.
With filtration to 50 microns, the machine sump remains free of contaminants, pumps are protected from damage, and only clean coolant recirculates through the machining process. This reduces maintenance costs, extends both tooling and coolant life and improves machine uptime.
In operation, the upper conveyor efficiently transports heavy loads while the lower, scraper-type conveyor removes remaining small particles. These fines are collected in the filter drum and deposited onto the incline.
Turbo MF4 has a compact design that uses no more floor space than most standard hinge-belt conveyors, allowing installation in even tight areas.

- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
