Conveyor Cleaner Introduction

I. Working Principle

The conveyor cleaner is a device used to clean the adhering substances on the surface of the conveyor belt and plays an important role in industrial production. The main working principles are as follows:

1. Scraper cleaner:

Utilizes the friction between the hard scraper and the surface of the conveyor belt to scrape off the adhering materials. The scraper is usually made of wear-resistant materials such as polyurethane or rubber.

2. Brush cleaner:

Adopts a soft brush to contact the conveyor belt. Through the rotation or swing of the brush, the materials are brushed off. The materials of the brush include nylon, steel wire, etc.

3. Air blow cleaner:

Uses the airflow generated by compressed air to blow off the impurities on the conveyor belt.

II. Types and Characteristics

1. Head cleaner:

Installed at the head pulley of the conveyor. It is mainly used to remove most of the adhering materials on the conveyor belt.

Usually has strong cleaning ability and wear resistance and can withstand large pressure and friction.

Common types of head cleaners include counterweight type, spring type, polyurethane scraper, etc.

2. Empty section cleaner:

Installed near the tail pulley of the conveyor or in the empty section between the return idlers.

Used to remove a small amount of residual materials on the surface of the conveyor belt when it returns, preventing materials from spilling and accumulating during the return journey.

Generally in the form of rubber scraper or brush, with a relatively simple structure.

3. Combined cleaner:

Composed of a head cleaner and an empty section cleaner, it can achieve a more thorough cleaning effect.

Suitable for occasions with high cleaning requirements for conveyor belts, such as transporting viscous materials and wet materials.
