The ChipBlocker®is a compact unit which is mounted to the discharge end of a hinged steel belt
conveyor. It can be installed on a newly purchased conveyor or retro-fitted to most existing chip
conveyor brands!
An existing machine tool coolant pump is used as the source of coolant which the ChipBlocker®unit
will use to flush the chips off the underside of the conveyor belt after the chip discharge point, but
before the belt returns to the inside of the conveyor housing. Jorgensen supplies a standard "Street
Tee" fitting with the ChipBlocker® kit to "tee off" of an existing machine tool coolant supply pump.
Typically, only about 1.5 gallons per minute of coolant flow is all that is required for proper performance
of the ChipBlocker® unit.
Clean coolant is pumped up to the spray bar header in the ChipBlocker® via the coolant supply line
(supplied as part of the ChipBlocker® kit). A series of spray nozzles positioned across the spray bar
header gently wash the chips off the belt. Washed-off chips and fines fall into a pull out chip basket
and the coolant drains through the screen into a return line hose (supplied as part of the
ChipBlocker® kit) and back to the machine tool coolant tank.
The conveyor bar returns into the conveyor housing free of any chips, thus eliminating the opportunity
for any significant migration of chips into the machine tool coolant supply tank.
The chip basket is removable and easily accessible. Periodically, the operator would remove the
basket by hand and dump out the accumulated chips.
