Types of Primary Belt Cleaners

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

Primary Belt Celaner With Tungsten Carbide Tip

The Primary Belt Cleaner with Tungsten Carbide Blade is a powerful and durable conveyor belt scraper designed to provide aggressive cleaning at the discharge point of a conveyor system. Installed against the head pulley, it is the first line of defense in removing bulk material carryback from the belt surface.

Heavey Duty Primary Belt Cleaner

The Heavy Duty Primary Belt Cleaner is a high-performance conveyor cleaning solution engineered for extreme material handling conditions. Positioned at the discharge point of the head pulley, this scraper is the first line of defense against carryback — removing bulk material that adheres to the belt after discharge.

Features of Primary Belt Cleaners

Adjustability

A pivotal feature of primary belt cleaners is their adjustability. Good designs allow for easy tension adjustments, enabling the scraper to maintain consistent contact with the conveyor belt. This ensures optimal cleaning efficiency without causing damage to the belt itself.

Easy Maintenance

An ideal primary belt cleaner should require minimal maintenance while providing maximum efficiency. Features like quick-release mechanisms or modular designs help ensure that maintenance or replacement can be carried out swiftly, minimizing production interruptions.

Effective Cleaning

Mechanism Different designs may employ various mechanisms like blades or scrapers, which ensure thorough cleaning of the belt surface. The effectiveness of these mechanisms is often crucial in determining how well the equipment functions.

Applications of Primary Belt Cleaners

Aggregates

Cleans belts carrying crushed stone, sand, and gravel.

Recycling

Cleans belts used in material sorting and waste handling systems.

Power Generation

Reduces coal and ash carryback in coal-fired plants.

Chemical Industry

Resistant to corrosive and reactive bulk solids.

Mining

Removes sticky ores and slurry from belts in mineral extraction operations.

Cement Plants

Handles cement clinker, limestone dust, and other bulk powder materials.

Grain Handling

Suitable for processing bulk grain, feed, and agricultural products.

Port Terminals

Keeps ship loading belts clean from fertilizers, grain, or minerals.

Primary Belt Cleaner Materials

Rubber

Rubber is one of the most widely used materials for primary belt cleaners. It offers several benefits that make it an ideal choice for this application. First and foremost, rubber has excellent flexibility, which allows it to conform to the shape of the conveyor belt. This ensures a consistent and effective cleaning action, as the rubber blade can maintain close contact with the belt surface, even when the belt is in motion.

Polyurethane

Polyurethane is another material commonly used in primary belt cleaners. It has several advantages over rubber. Polyurethane is extremely durable and has a high resistance to abrasion, cut, and tear. This means that polyurethane blades can last longer than rubber blades, reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance costs.

Metal

Metal materials are also used in the construction of primary belt cleaners, although they are typically used in combination with other materials. Stainless steel is a common choice for the frame and mounting components of primary belt cleaners. Stainless steel is corrosion - resistant, which is important for applications in wet or corrosive environments. It also has high strength, ensuring the stability and durability of the cleaner.

Composite Materials

Composite materials are becoming increasingly popular in the manufacturing of primary belt cleaners. These materials are made by combining two or more different materials to achieve specific properties. For example, a composite blade may consist of a rubber or polyurethane matrix reinforced with fibers such as carbon fiber or glass fiber.

FAQ

Q: What is a primary belt cleaner?

A: The primary belt cleaner is a key cleaning device installed near the head roller of the conveyor. It is mainly used to remove large amounts of sticky or lumpy residual materials (i.e. "return materials") on the belt surface. It is the first line of defense in the belt cleaning system and is crucial to reducing material waste and equipment wear.

Q: What is the core function of the primary belt cleaner?

A: The core function is to quickly remove most of the residual materials attached to the belt surface after the material is unloaded from the belt to prevent these materials from entering the return section with the belt. This can reduce the spillage of materials during the return process, reduce the wear on rollers, drums and other components, and reduce the working pressure of subsequent secondary cleaners.

Q: What is the difference between a primary belt cleaner and a secondary belt cleaner?

A: The primary belt cleaner is installed closer to the head roller and mainly handles large amounts of coarse or sticky residual materials with strong cleaning force; the secondary cleaner is installed after the primary and is responsible for removing fine or stubborn materials remaining after the primary cleaning, with higher cleaning accuracy.

Q: Where is the primary belt cleaner usually installed?

A: Usually installed below or on the side of the conveyor head roller, specifically where the belt leaves the head roller, close to the roller surface. This position can clean the material just after unloading and the residual material has not yet dried or hardened, ensuring maximum cleaning effect.

Q: How to adjust the scraper pressure of the primary belt cleaner?

A: The pressure is usually adjusted by springs, counterweights or pneumatic devices. When installing, adjust the pressure to a lower level first, start the conveyor and observe the cleaning effect. If there is a lot of residual material, gradually increase the pressure until it can be effectively cleaned.

Q: What factors affect the cleaning effect of primary belt cleaners?

A: Material properties have a great impact, such as material viscosity, humidity, and particle size. Materials with high viscosity or high humidity are prone to residue and require stronger cleaning force. Belt speed also has an impact. Too fast speed may cause the material to be scraped off too late, so a cleaner with corresponding strength is required.
