What to Look for When Buying Used Jorgensen Equipment
Jorgensen conveyors and filtration systems are built with heavy-gauge steel construction for continuous industrial service. Used units frequently have years of productive life remaining. Here is what to inspect.
On chip conveyors, check the belt, drive motor, and frame. Inspect the hinged steel belt for bent, broken, or missing links. Run the conveyor under power and listen for grinding, scraping, or irregular belt tracking. Check the drive motor amperage draw against the nameplate rating while the belt is loaded (high amperage indicates excessive drag from worn components or debris buildup). Verify the belt tension is correct and that the return path runs smoothly. On MunchMan dual-belt conveyors, confirm both belts operate in sync. On auger conveyors, check the auger flighting for wear and the trough for scoring.
On filtration systems, verify filter performance and coolant flow. On EcoFilter units, confirm the self-cleaning function cycles correctly and that filtered coolant runs clear at rated flow. On Filterveyor drum filtration systems, inspect the drum screen for tears, plugging, or media degradation. On FlexFiltration modular systems, check each stage independently for proper flow rate and filtration clarity. On PermaClean coolant tank systems, verify the tank interior is free of sludge buildup and that the coolant maintenance cycle operates as designed.
Verify physical dimensions and machine compatibility. Jorgensen conveyors are custom-engineered to specific machine tool models. Confirm the discharge height, belt width, conveyor length, and mounting footprint match your machine or production layout. A conveyor built for one machine model may require modification to fit another. Request the original specification sheet or engineering drawing when available.
Jorgensen Hinged Belt & Specialty Conveyors
Hinged steel belt conveyors are Jorgensen's core product and the most common chip conveyor type in the machine tool industry. Available in standard, heavy-duty, and extreme-duty belt pitches (from 1.5" for compact CNC machines to large-pitch belts for high-volume scrap handling), these conveyors carry metal chips from the machine cutting zone to a collection bin or downstream processing. The MunchMan® dual-belt conveyor uses a twin-belt design that grabs and pulls stringy, bird-nest chips that jam conventional single-belt conveyors. Chain belt, drag flight, auger, and slider bed conveyors serve applications where hinged belts are not the optimal solution. The LoadTamer® handles high-volume scrap and recycling loads with heavy-duty construction.
Jorgensen EcoFilter® & Filterveyor®
The EcoFilter combines chip conveying and coolant filtration in a single compact unit, making it a popular choice for CNC machining centers where floor space is limited. The self-cleaning design reduces manual maintenance while delivering filtered coolant back to the machine sump. The Filterveyor adds drum filtration to handle higher coolant volumes (70+ GPM) with finer particle removal, serving multi-machine installations and high-speed CNC applications that generate high volumes of fine chips and swarf. Both products are commonly supplied as OEM equipment on new CNC machines and frequently appear on the used market when machines are sold or decommissioned.
Jorgensen FlexFiltration & PermaClean
The FlexFiltration modular coolant system allows users to configure filtration stages based on their specific coolant type, required clarity level, and preferred filter media. Modular construction means individual stages can be added, removed, or replaced as production requirements change. PermaClean coolant tank systems maintain coolant clarity, extend coolant life, and prevent sludge accumulation in machine sumps. By keeping coolant clean and at proper concentration, PermaClean systems reduce coolant purchase and disposal costs while improving surface finish quality and tool life.
How to Sell Your Used Jorgensen Equipment

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Jorgensen Equipment
Are used Jorgensen conveyors reliable?
Yes. Jorgensen has manufactured chip conveyors and filtration systems since 1950 using heavy-gauge steel construction engineered for continuous industrial service. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Hinged belt conveyors are mechanically straightforward, and replacement belts and components remain available from the manufacturer for all current and legacy models.
Will a used Jorgensen conveyor fit my CNC machine?
Jorgensen conveyors are custom-engineered to specific machine tool models, so a used conveyor may or may not fit a different machine without modification. Confirm discharge height, belt width, conveyor length, and mounting dimensions before purchasing. Jorgensen can assist with identifying conveyor specifications by serial number.
What should I inspect before buying a used Jorgensen conveyor?
Check the belt for bent or missing links, run the conveyor under power and verify belt tracking and drive motor condition, inspect coolant flow and filtration performance on filter-equipped models, and confirm the physical dimensions match your machine or layout requirements.
What Jorgensen products hold their value best?
EcoFilter filtration conveyors, MunchMan dual-belt conveyors, Filterveyor drum filtration systems, and FlexFiltration modular coolant systems maintain the strongest resale values. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
What is the difference between an EcoFilter and a Filterveyor?
The EcoFilter combines chip conveying and basic coolant filtration in a single compact unit, ideal for individual CNC machines. The Filterveyor adds drum filtration for higher coolant volumes and finer filtration, better suited for high-speed machining and multi-machine coolant systems.
