The function and maintenance method of conveyor belt cleaner

The main functions of a conveyor belt cleaner include cleaning adhesive materials on the conveyor belt, preventing damage caused by contact between the conveyor belt and the drum, and preventing materials from sticking to the surface of the drum and causing the conveyor to deviate. Specifically, the conveyor belt cleaner removes impurities and adhesive materials from the surface of the conveyor belt, keeping it clean and smooth, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and reducing the failure rate.

Types and Applicable Scenarios

There are various types of conveyor belt cleaners, including scraper type, grate type, roller type, brush type, vibration type, pneumatic type, and comprehensive type. The commonly used cleaning tools in China include scraper cleaners and grate cleaners, which are suitable for different working conditions and material characteristics. For example, alloy cleaners are suitable for high-speed return belts, especially for handling materials with high moisture content; The empty section cleaner is specifically designed to clean the materials on the empty section belt, preventing them from getting mixed between the conveyor belt and the tail drum.

Installation location and maintenance method

The installation position of the conveyor belt cleaner has a significant impact on its effectiveness. For example, a primary polyurethane cleaner is typically installed below the horizontal line of the discharge drum head at an angle between 45 and 60 degrees to ensure sufficient contact and efficient cleaning. In terms of maintenance, regularly checking the wear and cleaning effectiveness of the cleaner, replacing worn parts in a timely manner, and maintaining the good condition of the equipment are key to ensuring its long-term effective operation.
