Types and specifications of conveyor belt cleaner

In the process of conveying materials, materials may stick to the working and non working surface of conveyor belt . If the conveyor belt is not cleaned, the adherent materials may enter the bearing of the idler and the pulley, adhere to the surface of pulley and idlers, causing to tear the conveyor belt and wear the covered rubber of belt. In practical operation, we should use a belt cleaner to clean the material adhered on the surface of the conveyor belt. So what are the types of belt conveyor cleaner?

Belt conveyor cleaner types

Belt cleaner is an essential cleaning tool for conveyor and conveyor system. It can be roughly divided into: brush cleaner, electric roller brush cleaner, unpowered cleaner, passive cleaner ,No power cleaner, polyurethane cleaner, alloy cleaner, alloy rubber cleaner, empty section cleaner, mine heavy duty belt cleaner, also known as: primary level polyurethane belt cleaner, secondary level polyurethane conveyor belt cleaner, belt cleaner, head polyurethane cleaner, tail cleaner, rubber cleaner, pulley cleaner, etc.

Function of belt conveyor cleaner

The belt cleaner plays an important role in the conveyor. The materials on the conveyor belt often contain viscous substances, such as coal dust, mud and powdery materials. Some of them will stick to the working surface of the conveyor belt, which cannot be completely unloaded when is charging. With the belt running, they will stick to the idler, which will cause serious consequences for a long time. In operation, if the sticked materials on the tail pulley is removed artificially, it is easy to cause serious casualties.

1. Prevent materials from entering the idler

The material enters into the shell of the idlers, thus increasing the bearing wear. The material adhered to the shell of the idlers will damage and roughen the surface glue of the conveyor belt, accelerating the damage of the conveyor belt.

2. Prevent the material from adhering to the pulley surface

The material adheres to the surface of the tail return pulley, and the more it adheres, the more it will cause the conveyor belt to deviate, increase the wear of the conveyor belt, and lead to adverse consequences. If the material sticks to the driving pulley and increases the friction to the pulley, the rubber on the conveyor belt surface and the rubber coating on the pulley will be damaged.

3. Reduce dust and other environmental pollution

If the materials are not removed in time, a blanking area will be formed in the whole working channel, which will cause environmental pollution, increase the amount of cleaning labor, affect the physical and mental health of employees, and increase the cost of the enterprise.

Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the belt conveyor, it is necessary to clean the attachments on the conveyor belt. If the cleaning device is good, the service life of idler and conveyor belt can be prolonged.
