YiQi Conveyor is pleased to announce that 50 sets of non-powered rotary brush belt cleaners have been fully assembled, tested, packed, and are now ready to ship to Zambia. This shipment will support a mining customer improving return-belt cleanliness, reducing carryback, and lowering maintenance downtime.
This model - commonly known as the BK-W Series Non-Powered Rotary Brush Cleaner - is one of YiQi's most efficient and maintenance-friendly return-side cleaning solutions. Built for mines, cement plants, quarries, and aggregate conveyors, it offers a simple mechanical structure yet remarkably strong cleaning capability.
1. Working Principle: Friction-Driven Rotation, No Motor Needed
Unlike traditional motor-driven brush cleaners, the BK-W cleaner rotates entirely through friction between the return belt and the cylindrical drive drum.
Its operation is based on two components:
Drive Drum – Makes contact with the returning belt surface; the belt's movement creates friction that turns the drum.
Rotary Brush Roll – Connected to the drive drum via a mechanical linkage; when the drum rotates, the brush rotates in the opposite direction, sweeping away adhered fines, dust, and sticky residue.
This friction-driven system delivers several advantages:
- No electricity, no motor, no wiring
- Extremely low failure rate
- Energy-saving and cost-efficient
- Safe for remote or off-grid mining areas
The entire system works automatically whenever the conveyor is running.
2. Structural Advantages
- Adjustable support seats allowing angle calibration for different belt conditions
- Locking screws and fixed shafts ensuring stable mounting
- Rotating brush core supported by durable bearing bushings
- Tensioning turnbuckles for easy installation and brush pressure adjustment
- High-strength steel wire ropes securing the cleaner body
- Modular frame design making on-site installation and maintenance fast and simple
These structural enhancements make the brush cleaner more durable and easier to maintain compared to standard brush cleaners.
3. Brush Material: High-Elasticity Wear-Resistant Nylon
The brush is manufactured from high-elasticity nylon filament, selected for:
- Excellent wear resistance
- High rebound memory (bristles return to shape after bending)
- Good temperature resistance
- Strong cleaning force without damaging the belt surface
- Long service life
For conveyors handling fine powder, clay, coal dust, lime, cement, fertilizer, or moist bulk materials, nylon bristles effectively remove residue and prevent buildup.
4. Key Performance Benefits
✔ 1. Easy Installation & Adjustment
The cleaner is designed for quick setup, requiring only minor adjustment of tension and brush-to-belt contact.
✔ 2. Zero Energy Consumption
Friction-driven design saves 1–2% of motor power compared to electric brush cleaners.
✔ 3. Strong Cleaning Effect
Reverse-rotation brush design ensures efficient removal of sticky fines from the return belt.
✔ 4. Reduced Wear on the Belt
The soft yet resilient nylon bristles protect the belt surface.
✔ 5. Long Service Life
High-quality bearings, shafts, and nylon filament reduce replacement frequency.
✔ 6. Ideal for Harsh Working Environments
The cleaner performs reliably in mining, aggregate, cement, port, fertilizer, and chemical industries.
5. Packaging for Export to Zambia
All 50 sets are packed in reinforced wooden crates, each containing:
- One fully assembled non-powered brush cleaner
- Tensioning cables and turnbuckles
- Protective wrapping for brush elements
- Labeling for quick on-site identification
The crates are moisture-proof, forklift-ready, and meet African mining logistics requirements.
6. Application Industries in Zambia
This shipment will be put into operation in:
- Copper & cobalt mining
- Stone and aggregate crushing lines
- Cement and clinker handling
- Quarry belt return systems
The improved belt cleanliness will reduce carryback accumulation, extend roller life, and decrease cleaning labor costs.
