Professional Spring-Loaded Polyurethane Conveyor Belt Cleaner | Efficient Cleaning, Belt Protection
Professional Spring-Loaded Polyurethane Conveyor Belt Cleaner | Efficient Cleaning, Belt Protection
Introduction: The Cleaner – An Indispensable "Guardian" of the Conveyor System
In continuous conveying operations across industries such as coal, mining, ports, power, and cement, fine particles (like coal dust, mineral powder, dust) often adhere to the belt's carrying surface after discharge. If not removed promptly, these residues lead to a series of issues: material carryback causing environmental pollution and waste, belt misalignment, accelerated wear on rollers and idlers due to material buildup, and even damage to the expensive conveyor belt cover. Therefore, an efficient and reliable conveyor belt cleaning system is not an accessory but a core component ensuring smooth, clean, and economical operation of the conveying line.
Chapter 1: CoreAdvantages – Why Choose a Spring-Loaded Polyurethane Cleaner?
Our cleaner's design philosophy is to achieve a precise balance between maximizing cleaning power and minimizing belt wear. Here are its seven standout features:
1.Effective Cleaning & Belt Protection
The spring mechanism maintains consistent pressure, automatically adjusting to belt wear or movement. Polyurethane blades offer strong scraping action without damaging the belt surface.
2.Easy Installation & Wide Compatibility
Designed to fit most conveyor frames. Mounts directly to the frame with high-strength bolts, requiring minimal adjustments.
3.Automatic Tension Adjustment
The spring system compensates for belt wear and vibration, ensuring continuous blade contact without manual intervention.
4.Durable Polyurethane Construction
High-wear resistance and flexibility extend service life, even in tough conditions like moisture, dust, and abrasion.
5.Compact & Streamlined Design
Lightweight yet robust, with a clean industrial appearance that integrates seamlessly into existing systems.
6.Simple Maintenance & Interchangeable Parts
Wear parts are easy to replace and designed for quick service, reducing downtime and maintenance effort.
7.Safer & Cleaner Operation
Reduces material carryback, prevents buildup on rollers and idlers, and helps maintain a cleaner, safer workspace.
Chapter 2: Full Model Explanation – How to Choose the Right Cleaner Based on Location?
The effectiveness of a cleaner is closely related to its installation position. We offer a full range of standardized models covering all critical cleaning points on a conveyor:
1.H-Type Cleaner (Primary Head Cleaner)
Installation Position: Installed near the drive pulley (head pulley), at the tangent point approximately 15 degrees above the horizontal centerline of the pulley.
Core Function: Serves as the first line of defense, responsible for removing the bulk of material still adhering to the belt after it passes over the curved pulley. Material scraped off at this position falls directly into the discharge chute.
2.P-Type Cleaner (Secondary Head Cleaner)
Installation Position: Installed after the H-type cleaner, on the steady carrying side of the belt near the underside of the head pulley.
Core Function: Acts as the fine-cleaning stage, removing the thin layer of fines remaining after the H-type cleaning. H-type and P-type are typically used together, forming a "primary + secondary" cleaning, capable of removing over 95% of adhered material.
3.N-Type Cleaner (Reversible Carry-Side Cleaner)
Installation Position: Specifically designed for reversible conveyors, installed on the steady carrying side of the belt.
Core Function: Its structural design allows for effective cleaning during both forward and reverse belt operation. Suitable for systems requiring bidirectional material conveying, ensuring consistent cleaning performance regardless of travel direction.
4.O-Type Cleaner (Return-Side / Non-Carry Side Cleaner)
Installation Position: Installed on the return side (non-carry side) of the belt, in front of the tail pulley or in front of the vertical gravity take-up unit.
Core Function: Removes material that has fallen from the carry side and adhered to the belt's return side, preventing this material from being carried back to the tail pulley or take-up unit, which could cause pulley buildup, belt misalignment, and damage. It is a key device for protecting the return section.
Chapter 3: Application and Value Summary
Selecting the appropriate cleaner and installing it correctly is a highly rewarding investment for any conveyor system. It directly delivers:
Improved Operational Efficiency: A clean belt prevents slippage and misalignment, ensuring designed capacity.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: Protects the conveyor belt, pulleys, and idlers replacement costs for core components.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: Minimizes manual cleaning effort, and automated cleaning reduces downtime.
Enhanced Workplace Environment and Safety: Maintains site cleanliness, reduces dust, and eliminates related safety hazards.
By understanding the working principle and model classification of spring-loaded polyurethane cleaners, you can configure the most scientific and economical cleaning solution for your conveyor system.
