BENEFITS OF FILTRATION CONVEYORS
• Reduced maintenance to machine coolant tank
• Extended coolant life
• Improves coolant pump life
• Enables lights out operation
• Improved coolant quality to the cutting area
• Reduced machine down time
• Reduced non productive labour costs
BENEFITS OF THE TURBO MH SERIES
• Self cleaning filtration
• Very small footprint (same as a standard conveyor)
• Flexible design for various flow rates
• Handles any chip shape (long and small)
• Handles any material
• Attractive price
• Fits to most standard machine coolant tanks
• Robust construction
• Filtration can be upgraded through retrofit at anytime
• Single drive for reduced energy consumption
LNS ECO
LNS’s focus on reducing environmental impacts through reduced energy consumption has lead to a single drive motor to power the conveyor and
provide the self cleaning filter function ensuring maximum efficiency. In addition to the reduced power consumption the self cleaning filtration helps
maximise the coolant life, reducing the frequency of coolant tank clean outs and thus reducing the disposal costs of hazardous coolant liquids.
DESIGNED FOR PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
Today’s machining operations are becoming more and more complex since various operations are carried out on the same machine. Standard con-
veyors are often not versatile enough to handle the different types of chips produced. Where high investment in filtering systems cannot be justified
the MH Series provides an excellent alternative.
The Turbo MH Series conveyor design provides an excellent method of removing large stringy chips as well as small broken chips in a medium to light
chip load. The low conveyor investment makes this an ideal choice for multi tasking machines, turning centers, machining centers and drilling and
tapping machining centers. Materials like aluminum, brass and cast iron are ideal applications.

THE VERSATILE CHIP CONVEYOR
The Turbo MH Series will handle any type of chip material and any chip geometry including fines,
broken and stringy chips, all while providing filtered coolant to keep the machine tank clear of chips.

COMPATIBLE FOR NUMEROUS MACHINES
Many of today’s machine designs have tight spaces in which the conveyor needs to fit. To
introduce filtration systems to these machines is often either not possible or results in large bulky
solutions that utilize a lot of precious floor space. The low profile frame design and integrated
filtering system means the floor space required is often no larger than a standard conveyor.
The unique design of the MH Series of conveyors also enables the conveyor to be fitted into
the standard machine tool tank without the requirement of a new tank or modifications to
the existing tank in more than 90% of cases. This added benefit reduces cost, floor space and
installation time.
COOLANT FLOW AND FILTRATION
The coolant flow rates used in modern machine tools vary greatly from machine to machine but
the design flexibility of the Turbo MH Series means that it can handle most applications.
Each filter box is automatically cleaned during normal conveyor operation. Coolant flow and
optimal filtration is assured. Due to the design of the Turbo MH Series the number of filter boxes
used is matched to the requirements of the machine tools maximum flow rate.
The latest development from LNS allows any Turbo MH conveyor to be retrofitted with finer
filtration boxes at any time by simply changing out the removable filter boxes.
RELIABLE OPERATION
Conveyors work in a tough environment. For over 4 decades, LNS has learned the best ways to
design machine-tool peripherals for dependable, reliable operation.
To ensure continuous operation each belt has a minimum of 2 scraper cleats that clean chips that
have been washed into the inside of the conveyor frame. Because all conveyor transitions use
a smooth radius these scrapers do an excellent job of keeping the frame free of chips, reducing
the risk of a belt jam.

As the scraper bars rotate around the
end of the conveyor the small chips
are transported around the curve and
lifted to the top of the conveyor belt.
Brushes or wiper bars are used to
wipe the box as the belt rotates. Any
small chips that are wiped off by the
brush / wiper fall to the bottom of
the conveyor frame and are collected
by the scraper bars.
The filter box contains metal filtering
screens to filter all the coolant as it
passes through the box and into the
machine tank ensuring only clean
filtered coolant can pass out of the
conveyor. The filter box is mounted
between the belt flights as shown.
Scraper cleats clean the entire surface
of the bottom pan continually.
Coolant Coolant
Some small chips wash through
the hinge belt conveyor and fall to
the bottom of the conveyor frame
over time but are carried out by the
scraper bars.
Large, stringy, chips are stopped and
taken out by the continuous hinge
belt conveyor.
All chips are discharged from this part
of the conveyor.
