What is a Belt Cleaner?
A belt cleaner, also known as a belt scraper, is a device used in conveyor systems to remove residual material from the conveyor belt. This ensures that the conveyor belt remains clean, reducing the risk of material build-up that could cause damage or inefficiency in the system.
Types of Belt Cleaners
Primary Belt Cleaners
Primary belt cleaners are positioned on the head pulley and are the first line of defense in removing bulk material from the belt. They are highly effective in cleaning and extending the life of the conveyor belt.
Secondary Belt Cleaners
Secondary belt cleaners are installed after the primary cleaners to provide a more thorough cleaning. They remove any remaining material that the primary cleaner may have missed.
V Belt Cleaners
V belt cleaners are designed to clean the belt’s return side, ensuring no material is left behind. They are particularly useful in preventing material build-up on the pulley.
Diagonal Ploughs
Diagonal ploughs are used to clean the belt by diverting materials off the belt. They are usually installed on the return side to prevent material from getting trapped between the belt and pulley.
V Ploughs
V ploughs, similar to diagonal ploughs, help in diverting material off the belt. They are designed to be installed on the return side and are particularly effective in cleaning the belt’s surface.
Adjusters and Materials
Spring Adjusters
Spring adjusters allow for easy adjustment of the belt cleaner, ensuring consistent contact with the belt. This helps maintain effective cleaning even as the belt wears down.
Ball Adjusters
Ball adjusters provide a simple and effective way to adjust the belt cleaner’s position, ensuring optimal cleaning performance.
Bolt Adjusters
Bolt adjusters offer a secure and reliable way to adjust the belt cleaner, ensuring it remains in the correct position for effective cleaning.
Belt Cleaner Spare Parts
Blade Belt Cleaners
Blades are a crucial component of belt cleaners, responsible for scraping off the material from the belt. They come in various materials to suit different applications.
Polyurethane Blades
Polyurethane blades are known for their durability and flexibility, making them ideal for various industrial applications.
Tungsten Carbide Blades
Tungsten carbide blades are extremely hard and wear-resistant, suitable for high-abrasion environments.
Applications of Belt Cleaners
Belt cleaners are used in numerous industries to ensure the efficiency and longevity of conveyor systems. Some key applications include:
- Coal Mining: Belt cleaners prevent coal build-up on conveyor belts, ensuring smooth and efficient transport.
- Cement Manufacturing: They keep the conveyor belts clean, preventing material loss and ensuring quality production.
- Power Generation: In power plants, belt cleaners help maintain the conveyor systems that transport fuel and other materials.
Other Conveyor Components
Belt Conveyor
A belt conveyor is a continuous loop of material that transports goods or materials from one point to another. It is essential in various industries for efficient material handling.
Conveyor Metal Detector
Conveyor metal detectors are used to detect metal contaminants in materials transported on the conveyor belt, ensuring product quality and safety.
Magnetic Separator
A magnetic separator removes metallic impurities from materials transported on the conveyor, improving product purity and protecting downstream equipment.
Mechanical Sampling
Mechanical sampling systems collect samples of materials transported on the conveyor belt for quality control and analysis.
Coal Sampler
A coal sampler collects samples of coal transported on the conveyor belt, ensuring consistent quality and adherence to industry standards.
Belt Scale
A belt scale measures the weight of materials transported on the conveyor belt, providing essential data for process control and inventory management.
Rubber Skirt
Rubber skirts are installed along the edges of the conveyor belt to contain material and prevent spillage.
Impact Cradle and Bed
Impact cradles and beds support the conveyor belt at loading points, reducing damage and wear from heavy material impact.
Safety Conveyor Switches
Pull Cord
Pull cord switches allow operators to stop the conveyor belt in case of an emergency, ensuring worker safety.
Belt Sway
Belt sway switches detect misalignment of the conveyor belt and can trigger alarms or shut down the system to prevent damage.
Speed Switch
Speed switches monitor the speed of the conveyor belt, ensuring it operates within safe and efficient parameters.
Chute Switch
Chute switches detect blockages or material flow issues in chutes, preventing system downtime and material loss.
Alarm Horn
Alarm horns alert operators to potential issues with the conveyor system, allowing for quick response and resolution.
Paddle Switch
Paddle switches detect the presence of materials on the conveyor belt, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation.
Limit Switch
Limit switches monitor the position of moving parts in the conveyor system, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Level Switch
Level switches detect the level of materials in hoppers or bins, preventing overflows and ensuring consistent material flow.
Belt Alignment Switch
Belt alignment switches ensure the conveyor belt remains aligned, preventing damage and ensuring efficient operation.
