Rugged, effective pre-cleaner provides maximum performance at competitive prices

The latest addition to the company’s line of quick-change belt cleaners, the cleaner provides maximum performance and durability across a wide range of applications, all at competitive prices, according to the manufacturer. The new cleaner features a more-rugged steel mainframe, a low-maintenance spring tensioner, and a high-volume urethane blade that extends life while maintaining cleaning performance. The belt cleaner uses a one-piece urethane blade featuring the company’s patented Constant Angle Radial Pressure (CARP) design for consistent cleaning across all stages of blade life. The blade features 20% more urethane than competitor blades, yielding a longer life in even the most challenging applications. To stand up to large pulleys, large lumps, and high belt speeds, the new cleaner uses a large, one-piece mainframe fabricated from 2.875 OD (73 mm) Schedule 80 steel pipe. The blade is mounted on a steel rib that allows “one-pin” blade replacement to minimize maintenance labor and downtime. The new cleaner is supplied with a rugged spring tensioner that provides consistent blade-to-belt pressure with minimal need for adjustment. When service is required, re-tensioning the pre-cleaner is a simple, easy operation. The pre-cleaner is suited for applications on belts from 18- to 72- inches-wide, operating at speeds up to 900 fpm (4.6 m/sec).
