Pre-cleaner delivers improved blade life on vulcanized conveyor belts
Martin Engineering have introduced a new high-quality cleaning blade for use on vulcanized conveyor belts that features a special polyurethane blend and tungsten carbide tip to deliver service life 2-3 times longer than conventional urethane blades.
The QC #1 MT pre-cleaner from Martin Engineering maintains consistent tension without frequent adjustment, requiring re-tensioning just twice a year in most applications.
The new pre-cleaner was developed specifically for vulcanized belts with no mechanical splices, and can be used at belt speeds up to 4.6m/sec. The heavy-duty blade is suited for wet, sticky material applications, and there is no limitation to the type of material on which it can be used.
The new product has the same mounting dimensions and tensioning pressures as the company’s QC #1 heavy-duty pre-cleaner. Utilizing both spring and twist tensioners, the QC #1 MT fits both one- and three-piece mainframes.
The Martin QC #1 family of belt cleaners combines carry-back removal with ‘quick-change’ one-pin replacement of the long-lasting, one-piece blade. To introduce product back into the product flow, the QC #1 MT is installed on the face of the head pulley. On a dual-cleaner system, the new pre-cleaner is installed immediately in front of the secondary cleaner. For applications involving enclosed pulley chutework, the company recommends that one of its steel inspection doors be installed.
