Conveyor belt cleaning systems are an integral part of your belt conveyor system because of their ability to remove carryback from conveyor belt. Carryback is a leading issue on many belt conveyors, requiring frequent clean-up while wearing our conveyor components prematurely and causing other conveying problems like belt mistracking. Using conveyor belt cleaning systems can reduce carryback, improve worker safety, increase operating efficiency, and enhance productivity.
Primary cleaners are belt cleaners that are designed to scrape material off the conveyor belt. Primary cleaners are mounted to the head pulley, below the material flow. They are ideal for removing large pieces of material – typically about 60-70 percent of initial carryback. SKE primary cleaners are available in a variety of widths and blade types that can tackle even the toughest materials.
Conveyor Belt Cleaning Systems on Return Side of Belt Secondary cleaners are belt cleaners that are built to scrape materials left on the belt beyond the head pulley. Secondary cleaners are located just past where the belt leave the head pulley, and anywhere else down the belt line. Secondary cleaners are especially good at removing fines and can increase cleaning efficiency to more than 90 percent. SKE secondary cleaners handle a variety of applications, with polyurethane, carbide, and brush options available.
Some operators want their belts as clean as possible; others are comfortable with a certain amount of renegade material. SKE recommends a primary and one or more secondary cleaners to achieve maximum cleaning efficiency and form a comprehensive cleaning system. In some cases, a single cleaner can be mounted to target a specific area like the head pulley, for the greatest effect.
