Belt cleaning begins with primary scrapers, which are essential for removing material residues from the belt. The scrapers act tangentially on the head pulley area and constitute the fundamental first step to ensure the efficiency of the conveyor system. Their main function is to remove residues and direct them toward the discharge zone, contributing significantly to belt cleanliness.
One of the main advantages of these devices is their adaptability to belt widths between 400 mm and 2,000 mm, making them suitable for multiple plant configurations. The tensioning system has been designed to be easy to adjust and is equipped with a visual blade wear indicator, which facilitates routine maintenance.
The blades are available in various materials, each suited to specific operating conditions. Polyurethane is ideal for materials with a low degree of abrasion, while tungsten is designed for high-abrasion applications. For extreme environments characterized by very high abrasiveness, a carbide version is also available, ensuring superior resistance and durability.
Each scraper is equipped with a sturdy metal shaft, designed to ensure stability and long life. For applications in particularly harsh environments, stainless steel versions are also available, offering corrosion resistance.
From a functional standpoint, these devices operate with tangential action on the head pulley of unidirectional conveyor belts. They allow for the effective removal of most residues on the belt and help direct material toward the discharge zone, significantly improving the overall cleanliness and operational efficiency of the system.
In summary, these scrapers represent an effective and versatile solution for every cleaning need, thanks to their dimensional flexibility and the variety of blade materials available, allowing for use in work environments with very different abrasive conditions.
