Jorgensen Conveyors, Weima America form partnership

Companies partner on chip management solutions.

Jorgensen Conveyors Inc., Mequon, Wisconsin, has formed a business alliance with Weima America Inc., Fort Mill, South Carolina, to provide chip management solutions for the machine tooling sector. 

Jorgensen says its capabilities to integrate its line of machine tool chip conveyors and coolant filtration equipment with Weima’s metal shredding and metal briquetting machines make it the best single source in the industry for the chip and coolant management process.

With aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, steel and other metals, a volume reduction of up to 90 percent is possible with the companies’ integrated solutions, Jorgensen says, translating into savings in material handling, labor, increased scrap value and the extraction and reuse of cutting fluids.  

“Our new partnership with Weima gives Jorgensen Conveyors a unique position in the industry to integrate complete chip conveying, chip processing and coolant filtration systems for our customers,” says John D’Amico, co-principal at Jorgensen Conveyors. “Providing products and systems that enhance productivity and offer a solid return on investment is always our focus.” 

D’Amico continues, “Jorgensen’s offering of these integrated chip handling and processing systems support environmentally sensitive and sustainable manufacturing as well as the maximization of recycled content.”
