Belt cleaners is also called scraper plate. It is mainly used at the head and tail of the belt to scrape off the sticky materials or sundries on the front of the belt.

The belt cleaner selected for the conveyor depends on the materials transported. The use of the belt cleaner can bring some advantages, such as an important tool to prolong the service life of the conveyor belt, protect the pulley, keep the belt conveyor in the best state and ensure efficient operation in the next few years.

After the conveyor belt has finished conveying materials, there will still be residues on the belt surface. If it is not cleaned up in time, it will increase the wear of the conveyor belt, accelerate the damage of the conveyor belt, and cause serious consequences. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the belt conveyor, the attachments on the belt must be cleaned. If the cleaning device is good, the service life of the idler and conveyor belt can be extended.

What are the classifications of belt cleaners?

Belt cleaners can be divided into Vacuum sweeper, electric brush cleaner, spring cleaner, synthetic rubber cleaner, polyurethane belt cleaner and conveyor cleaner.

Vacuum sweeper

Peralatan Vacuum sweeper is suitable for cleaning the cleaner on the non working face of the conveyor belt. The cleaning scraper is mainly made of wear-resistant rubber plate, and the cutter head is wear-resistant and anti-corrosion with high safety.

Peralatan Vacuum sweeper  is installed at the return branch of the conveyor belt, the upper side of the conveyor belt, near the tail drum or the turning drum of the vertical tensioning device to clean the materials spilled on the return branch conveyor belt. Prevent materials from being caught between the conveyor belt and the tail drum, and the reversing drum, damaging the drum and the conveyor belt, and affecting the normal operation of the conveyor.

Electric drive brush cleanser

The electric brush cleaner is mainly a nylon wire brush, which is driven by a motor. The brush tip is slightly in contact with the belt surface. The rotation direction of the nylon brush is opposite to the running direction of the return conveyor belt, so as to remove the particles stuck on the belt surface and achieve the goal of thorough cleaning.

Electric brush cleaner, roll nylon wire brush and the load surface of the conveyor belt are in contact, and the power driven rotary cleaning is used to clean the pulverized coal bonded on the conveyor belt.

Spring cleanser

The scraper sweeps the pulverized coal stuck on the conveyor belt after unloading by spring pressure and clings to the load surface of the conveyor belt. Sweeper plays an important role in the conveyor. In operation, if the attachment of the tail drum is removed manually, it is often easy to cause serious casualties. The sweeper has the characteristics of timely, convenient and fast removal of attachments to the roller.

Alloy rubber cleaner

The alloy rubber cleaner is mainly composed of a number of alloy scrapers, scraper frames, rubber elastomers, cross beams, adjustable fixed frames, etc. Its structure is simple and compact. The normal contact between the scraper and the drive roller can be adjusted by adjusting the fixed frame.

It is mainly installed at the drum at the head of the conveyor. With the help of the elastic force of the rubber bar, it can clean the materials stuck on the conveyor belt.

Polyurethane belt cleaner

The polyurethane cleaner generally refers to that the cutter head is made of polyurethane materials. The polyurethane cleaner is mainly used in the front cleaner to clean the sticky materials, large particle media and materials on the front and back of the belt.

It is mainly used in coal mine, electric power, steel, petrochemical and other industries.

Conveyor cleaner

The conveyor cleaner is a device used to clean the conveyor. When the belt conveyor conveys materials, if the residual attached materials enter the roller or idler bearing seat, the bearing wear will be accelerated, and if the materials are stuck on the surface of the roller or idler, the conveyor belt glue will be torn and roughened, accelerating the wear and damage of the conveyor belt.

Selecting a suitable belt cleaners can bring the following advantages:

  • Protect the conveyor belt;
  • Efek pembersihan diri
  • Extend the service life of the conveyor
  • Low cost wear parts
  • Cost savings
  • Reduce accident potential

Belt cleaners is one of the important components of conveyor. The above contents can help you choose a more suitable belt cleaner.
