V-Plough Conveyor Belt Cleaner

Key Features

V-Shaped Cleaning Design

The V-shaped blade structure effectively directs residual material away from the return belt, preventing accumulation in critical conveyor areas.

Return Belt Protection

Installed on the return side of the conveyor, the cleaner helps prevent material buildup that may cause belt damage, component wear, or operational problems.

Wear-Resistant Blade

The cleaner can be equipped with polyurethane, rubber, or metal blades according to different operating conditions, providing reliable wear resistance.

Adjustable Cleaning Pressure

The adjustable blade pressure ensures stable contact with the conveyor belt while reducing excessive friction and wear.

Simple Installation and Maintenance

The compact structure allows convenient installation and adjustment, reducing maintenance requirements during operation.

Product Advantages

Prevents material buildup: Removes residual material from the return side of the conveyor belt.

Protects conveyor components: Reduces accumulation around tail pulleys and return rollers.

Extends belt service life: Helps prevent damage caused by trapped materials.

Reliable cleaning performance: V-shaped design improves material removal efficiency.

Low maintenance requirements: Simple structure allows easy adjustment and replacement.

Suitable for harsh environments: Designed for demanding bulk material conveying conditions.

Applications

The V-Plough Conveyor Belt Cleaner is mainly used on the return side of belt conveyor systems to remove residual materials before they reach the tail pulley.

Typical applications include:

Mining and Quarrying: Used for conveyors transporting ores, aggregates, crushed stone, and abrasive bulk materials.

Coal Handling: Helps prevent coal buildup around return components and tail pulleys.

Cement and Building Materials: Suitable for dusty conveying environments requiring continuous belt cleaning.

Steel and Metallurgy: Used for removing residual materials in heavy-duty conveying systems.

Ports and Bulk Material Handling: Helps maintain cleaner conveyor operation and reduce material carryback.

General Industrial Conveying: Suitable for belt conveyor systems requiring return-side belt protection.

Ordering & Quotation Information

Information Required for Quotation

Please provide the conveyor belt width, belt speed, return-side installation position, conveyed material, carryback condition, available installation space, required quantity, and operating environment. Photos or drawings of the return belt area are useful.

Technical Confirmation & Lead Time

We will confirm the V-plough cleaner according to belt width, belt speed, return-side arrangement, material characteristics, carryback conditions, installation space, and belt operating conditions. Lead time depends on configuration, quantity, material preparation, and purchased components.

Packaging, Delivery & Quality

Packaging and delivery are arranged according to cleaner dimensions, quantity, transportation method, and destination. Dimensions, configuration, quantity, and packaging completeness are checked before shipment.

FAQ

What is a V-Plough Conveyor Belt Cleaner?

A V-Plough Conveyor Belt Cleaner is a return-side belt cleaning device designed to remove residual material from the non-carrying side of a conveyor belt.

Where is a V-plough cleaner installed?

It is usually installed on the return belt section before the tail pulley to prevent material from reaching and accumulating around conveyor components.

What is the purpose of a return belt cleaner?

A return belt cleaner helps remove residual material, reduce carryback, protect conveyor components, and improve overall conveyor reliability.

What blade materials are available?

Depending on operating conditions, V-plough cleaners can use polyurethane, rubber, or metal blades.

How is a V-plough cleaner different from a primary belt cleaner?

A primary belt cleaner is installed at the discharge pulley to clean the carrying surface, while a V-plough cleaner works on the return side to prevent residual material from reaching the tail pulley.

What industries use V-plough belt cleaners?

They are commonly used in mining, coal handling, aggregates, cement, steel, ports, and other bulk material handling industries.
