EcoFilter®
Filtration Conveyor Capable of 80 or 200 micron
The EcoFilter® is a self-cleaning coolant filtration conveyor designed for CNC machine tools. It fits most machining center and lathe envelopes and accommodates a wide range of coolant flow rates through flexible filter cell sizing.
EcoFilter conveyors provide efficient removal of fine chips down to 80-micron nominal filtration at over 97% efficiency*. This level of filtration helps improve surface finish, maintain part accuracy, extend coolant life, and support consistent machining performance.
Seamless Integration and Flexible Configuration
Many standard Jorgensen conveyors are EcoFilter Ready at no additional cost. These conveyors can be converted to an EcoFilter using a simple field retrofit kit.
EcoFilter conveyors perform effectively as a primary filtration solution for many CNC machine tool applications. For precision machining processes that require enhanced micron clarity, the EcoFilter can be paired with Jorgensen FlexFiltration coolant systems.
* Micron clarity and filtration efficiency are third-party tested and verified
Hinged Steel Belt EcoFilter Conveyor
Hinged steel belt EcoFilters are versatile chip conveyors for milling, drilling, 5-axis, and more. The hinged steel belt moves chips away from the machine tool while coolant filters through the EcoFilter cell. Belts come in a variety of dimensions with variable cleat styles and belt structures. Choose pimpled or perforated apron plates to best fit your material type and coolant flow.
For most machine tool applications using coolant, we recommend upgrading hinged steel belt chip conveyors to EcoFilter for low-maintenance chip removal and coolant clarity.
Key Benefits
- Versatile belt with apron plate and cleat options to best fit application
- Effective for broken chips or swarf sludge
Specifications
- Coolant Flow Low to moderate
- Common Applications Milling, drilling, turning, 5-axis
- Chip Type Broken chips, 6s and 9s
- Belt Type Hinged steel belt
Drag Flight EcoFilter Conveyor
Adding EcoFilter cells to drag-flight conveyors greatly increases their effectiveness in removing fine chips from applications with moderate to high coolant flow rates. EcoFilter cells filter fine chips from coolant while the scraper belt carries small chips from the machine tool.
Key Benefits
- Effective for small fines or swarf sludge
- Efficiently pulls and filters fine chips from coolant
Specifications
- Coolant Flow Moderate to high
- Chip Type Small files and sludge
- Belt Type Drag flight/scraper conveyor
- Common Applications CNC grinding
MunchMan EcoFilter
The MunchMan EcoFilter excels in applications with a wide variety of chip types. The MunchMan dual hinged steel belts grab tough nested chips and pull them up the conveyor incline. Meanwhile, the CleanCleat system pulls smaller chips and fines away from the EcoFilter cell towards the discharge. This combination conveyor keeps the coolant tank clean while preventing chip jams.
Key Benefits
- Effective for large chips, stringy chips, and nested chip balls
- Handles mixed chips including small fines and large nested chip balls
Specifications
- Coolant Flow Low to moderate
- Chip Type Mixed chips including long stringy chips and smaller fines
- Belt Type Two hinged steel belts
- Common Applications Milling, turning
Mag-Drag Ecofilter
Mag-Drag EcoFilters combine advanced technology from two of Jorgensen’s trademarked conveyor types to efficiently separate chips from coolant. An EcoFilter enhanced MagDrag ensures consistent coolant clarity and greatly reduces the need for regularly scheduled tank cleaning.
Easily remove difficult fines of ferrous metal from machines with high coolant flow rates.
Key Benefits
- Effective for fine ferrous chips and sludge
- Magnet separates chips suspended in coolant
Specifications
- Coolant Flow Moderate to high
- Chip Type Small broken chips, fines, and sludge
- Belt Type Drag flight/scraper conveyor
- Common Applications Grinding, cast iron and other ferrous metals

Advanced Filtration and Coolant Solutions
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.
