Types of Belt Cleaner

The belt cleaners produced by our company mainly include the following types:

 
 

Primary Belt Cleaners

Primary belt cleaners, also known as pre-cleaners, are crucial components in conveyor systems, designed to remove the majority of material adhering to the belt after discharge at the head pulley.

 
 
 

Secondary Belt Cleaners

Secondary belt cleaners are components of a conveyor system designed to remove residual material that the primary belt cleaner misses, ensuring a cleaner conveyor belt. They are typically installed on the return side of the belt, just after the head pulley and before the snub pulley.

 
 
 

Return Conveyor Ploughs

Return conveyor ploughs, also known as belt ploughs, are a type of conveyor belt cleaner designed to remove material from the underside of the return belt, preventing it from interfering with the tail pulley and other components.

 

 

Advantages of Belt Cleaner

 

Improved Material Transfer

A conveyor belt cleaner helps remove debris, spillage, and contaminants from the belt’s surface, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted material transfer. By eliminating build-up and blockages, the cleaner enhances the efficiency of material flow, reducing downtime and optimising productivity.

 

Extended Belt Lifespan

Keeping your conveyor belt clean is essential to prevent the buildup of abrasive materials that can cause the belt to wear out prematurely. A regular cleaning routine with a conveyor belt cleaner effectively removes dirt, dust, and other particles, ultimately extending the lifespan of your conveyor belt. This helps to decrease maintenance costs and minimise downtime for replacement.

 

Enhanced Conveyor Performance

When a conveyor belt becomes dirty or contaminated, it can lead to belt slippage, mistracking, and reduced overall performance. Installing a belt cleaner helps maintain proper belt alignment, minimising the chances of jams, spills, and system breakdowns. This promotes smooth and efficient conveyor operation, resulting in improved overall performance.

 

Improved Safety

Accumulated debris on conveyor belts can pose safety hazards, such as slip and fall accidents, equipment damage, or even fires. By regularly cleaning the belts with a conveyor belt cleaner, you can create a safer working environment, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

 

Cost Savings

Installing a conveyor belt cleaner offers long-term cost savings. By reducing downtime, extending the belt’s lifespan, preventing equipment damage, and improving overall system performance, you can achieve greater operational efficiency and productivity. The savings from reduced maintenance and replacement costs can have a significant impact on your bottom line.

 

 

Applications of Belt Cleaner
 

Mining – For clearing abrasive ores and rocks at the discharge point.

 

Cement Plants – Handles cement clinker and fine powders with ease.

 

Steel Mills – Ideal for hot, metallic debris and slag scraping.

 

Power Plants – Removes ash, coal, and fine particulates at high speeds.

Quarrying – Scrapes gravel, sand, and crushed stone from conveyor belts.

 

Ports & Terminals – Maintains belt hygiene during heavy material transfer.

 

Fertilizer – Resists corrosion and buildup from sticky, acidic materials.

 

Aggregate – Operates under heavy-duty conditions in sand and stone plants.

 

Belt Cleaner Installation Steps
 

Step 1: Preparation

Before you begin the installation process, it is crucial to gather all the necessary tools and materials. This includes the belt cleaner itself, mounting brackets, bolts, washers, nuts, a torque wrench, a measuring tape, a level, and a safety harness if working at height.

Step 2: Measure And Mark The Mounting Location

The next step is to determine the optimal location for mounting the belt cleaner. This will depend on the specific application and the type of conveyor belt being used. In general, the cleaner should be installed as close to the head pulley as possible to ensure maximum cleaning efficiency.

Step 3: Install The Mounting Brackets

Once the mounting location has been marked, it is time to install the mounting brackets. The brackets should be securely attached to the conveyor frame using bolts, washers, and nuts. Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specifications.

Step 4: Install The belt cleaner

With the mounting brackets in place, it is time to install the belt cleaner. Carefully lift the cleaner onto the brackets and align it with the mounting holes. Insert the bolts through the holes in the cleaner and the brackets, and secure them with washers and nuts.

Step 5: Adjust The Tension

After the belt cleaner is installed, it is important to adjust the tension to ensure proper cleaning performance. The tension should be adjusted so that the blades make contact with the belt without causing excessive wear or damage.

Step 6: Test The Cleaner

Once the installation and tension adjustment are complete, it is time to test the belt cleaner. Start the conveyor belt and observe the cleaning performance of the cleaner. Make sure the blades are making contact with the belt and removing any debris or contaminants.

FAQ

Q: What is belt cleaner?

A: An innovative solution for cleaning residual materials and removing excessive carryback of wet and dry fines from conveyor belts, including belts with cleats, lacing, and repair patches. The Belt Cleaner is a VDG Drum Motor that rotates a 10-inch diameter replaceable spiral brush mounted on the drum.

Q: How to reset transfer belt cleaner?

A: NOTE: The default user ID is "admin" (case sensitive). The default passcode is "1111".

Q: Where are belt cleaners typically installed?

A: They are mounted at or near the discharge point of the conveyor, where the belt leaves the head pulley. This is the optimal position to remove material before it travels back along the return side of the belt.

Q: What is the ideal blade angle for a belt cleaner?

A: The optimal angle is usually 15–30 degrees relative to the belt’s surface. This angle balances effective cleaning with minimal belt wear: too steep an angle may damage the belt, while too shallow an angle reduces cleaning efficiency.

Q: How much pressure should a belt cleaner apply to the belt?

A: Pressure should be light but consistent—enough to maintain contact with the belt without causing excessive friction or wear. Typically, 1–5 pounds per linear inch (lb/in) of blade width is recommended, depending on the belt type and material.

Q: How do belt cleaners interact with other conveyor components?

A: They work alongside skirting, chutes, and transfer points to minimize carryback. For example, skirting contains material during loading, while belt cleaners remove residual material post-discharge, creating a comprehensive material control system.
