EcoFilter® 80
Filtering Conveyor Capable of 80-micron Filtration
EcoFilter is a self-cleaning conveyor and chip filtration system for turning and machining centers. It easily fits most machining centers or lathe envelopes. EcoFilter conveyors accommodate a wide range of coolant flow rates via flexible filter cell sizing. They provide efficient filtration of fine chips to 80-micron nominal at over 97% efficiency*. As a result, users see improved part finish and accuracy.
Many traditional hinged belt conveyors come EcoFilter Ready at no additional cost. Jorgensen’s standard “EcoFilter®-Ready” hinged steel belt conveyors can convert to an EcoFilter with a simple field retrofit kit in an estimated 4 hours.
If 80-micron filtration isn’t needed or a high flow rate is required, the EcoFilter 200 is available. EcoFilter 200 offers low maintenance filtration for general applications. Additionally, both EcoFilter options work well as initial filtration methods within complete FlexFiltration systems.

How it Works
- Chips and coolant enter the conveyor’s load section.
- A hinged or scraper belt carries out large chips and/or stringers.
- Coolant and fine chips flow to the section in between the runs of belt, where the EcoFilter® cell is located.
- The filter cell separates fine chips from coolant. Filtered coolant flows from the inside of the filter cell, out of the side of the conveyor, and into the coolant tank.
- Brushes continuously wipe fine chips from the surface of the filtration cell, keeping the cell clean for coolant to pass through.
- Small chips exit between the runs of belt through the bottom run via patent-pending CleanCleat® system, to the bottom of the conveyor casing.
- Fines that migrate to the bottom of the casing are scraped up to the top run of belt and discharged.
