EFFICIENT CONVEYOR BELT CLEANING

PREVENTS MASSIVE MATERIAL LOSS

Challenge

In this application in a cement and lime works, the belt is used to convey large quantities of material every day and cannot cope without professional cleaning. The adherent material causes permanent damage to the belt surface, which means that the belt must be replaced after a short time. In addition, large quantities of bulk material stick to the belt conveyor and fall to the floor during the return pass.

 

Consequences of these problems:

  • Complex and time-consuming cleaning work
  • Long downtimes during cleaning
  • Employees must be deployed to perform cleaning tasks
  • Heavy soiling of the conveyor belt, massively reducing its service life
  • Extreme material loss

Solution

Use of the STARCLEAN® conveyor belt cleaner guarantees optimum cleaning of the conveyor belt, prevents material loss, and saves time-consuming cleaning work and high costs. The scrapers are gently folded against the conveyor belt and adapt perfectly to the belt surface thanks to the individually adjustable contact pressure. The type 830 tensioning device is easy to operate and enables quick and simple pre-tensioning of the conveyor belt cleaner to the belt surface. The type 53Sn blades are real all-rounders and ensure lasting cleaning reliability.

Advantages

  • Overlapping blades do not let any material past
  • High-quality material selection ensures low blade wear
  • The pre-scraping function removes coarse material in advance
  • Innovative TWIST-SWING® function allows each blade to adapt individually to surface irregularities on the conveyor belt and maintain its cleaning performance at all times, while at the same time being gentle on the conveyor belt

Reduced cleaning costs:

  • the reduction in cleaning costs led to higher productivity and profitability of the plant.
