How does dual-direction rotation remove sticky materials 50% faster?

2025-06-30

        On the coal conveying belt of a large coking plant in Shanxi Province, the adhering coal tar once made the workers stop the machine for cleaning for 4 hours every day. Since the installation of the bidirectional rotating electric brush belt cleaner developed by Wuyun, the cleaning time under the same working conditions has been shortened to 1.5 hours, and the overall efficiency of the equipment has increased by 38%. This breakthrough technology is reshaping the belt maintenance standards in the heavy industry sector.

Bidirectional rotation is the core to solving the problem of cleaning viscous materials

        Most traditional cleaners adopt a unidirectional rotation design. When dealing with high-adhesion materials such as coal tar and wet clay, the bristles are prone to being flattened, creating "cleaning blind spots". The bidirectional rotation technology developed by Wuyun's engineering team over a period of two years ensures that the bristles always maintain the optimal contact Angle through the shear force generated by alternating forward and reverse rotations. "Just like alternately rubbing the back with a bath towel on both sides, the sticky material is peeled off before it has a chance to adhere." The project leader made a vivid analogy.

Wuyun has launched three core models to precisely match the working conditions and demands

        Second Constant Pressure Cleaner: It adopts a gas-liquid pressurization system to ensure a constant contact pressure between the bristles and the belt. In a coal mine in Shanxi Province, it has achieved continuous operation for 180 days without material leakage, and the wear rate of the brush head has decreased by 60%.

        Electric Rotary Brush Belt Cleaner: Equipped with a variable-frequency motor and adaptive pressure regulation, when processing iron ore powder in Hebei Iron and Steel Plant, the material carrying capacity of the belt's return stroke was reduced from 3.2kg/m to 0.5kg/m, saving 24,000 tons of cleaning water annually.

        Heavy-Duty dual-direction Cleaner: Specifically designed for the cement and chemical industries, it features Dual motor drive and ceramic composite bristles. On the clinker conveying line of Anhui Conch Cement, it successfully removes caked materials with an adhesion strength of up to 12N/cm².

From "Sea of People Strategy" to "Intelligent Cleaning"

        The sticky materials that previously required six people to take turns to clean can now be handled with just one piece of equipment and one inspection worker. The head of the equipment department of an aluminum factory in Inner Mongolia has done the math: Although the unit price of the Wuyun cleaner is 25% higher than the industry average, the annual savings in labor, water fees and belt wear costs exceed 800,000 yuan. What surprised him even more was that the Internet of Things module equipped on the device could automatically generate a cleaning efficiency report, "just like installing a 'health checkup instrument' for the belt sweeping."

Technological iteration has enabled the sweeper to learn to "think"

        At the recently held National Belt Conveyor Technology Summit, Wuyun disclosed its next-generation product plan: by embedding pressure sensors in the bristles and combining AI algorithms to analyze the adhesion of materials in real time, in the future, the sweeper will be able to independently adjust the rotation direction and pressure parameters. We are training the machine to understand the "language" of different materials, and ultimately achieve intelligent cleaning that "uses the appropriate method based on what materials are adhered to". The test data presented by the R&D director shows that this technology can increase the cleaning efficiency by another 22%.

Green upgrading is an energy-saving revolution in the cleaning process

        Facing the "dual carbon" goals, Wuyun has initiated an energy efficiency optimization project for its sweepers. The latest tests show that by recovering braking energy and optimizing the transmission structure, the unit cleaning energy consumption of heavy-duty bidirectional sweepers has been reduced by 19%. In the application case of a certain port in Shandong Province, the entire cleaning system reduces carbon dioxide emissions annually equivalent to the carbon sequestration of 1,200 fir trees.

        A good sweeper should be like a woodpecker - both precise and efficient, as well as quiet and environmentally friendly. General Manager Wuyun outlined his vision at the customer Open Day: "We are developing solar-powered wireless sweepers. In the future, every belt will have its own 'cleaner', making industrial production more decent and sustainable."

        From breaking through physical limits to redefining industry standards, Wuyun is proving through technological innovation that belt cleaning is no longer a headache-inducing "dirty and tiring job", but a key link in promoting the upgrade of intelligent manufacturing.
