A new conveyor belt-cleaner design, with cut-to-length
A new conveyor belt-cleaner has been designed with an innovative method of holding the urethane blade in place without the need to mill any slots for holding pins. Combining the benefits of previous designs into one product, the QC1+ Belt Cleaner (photo) can be cut to length to fit virtually any application, reducing the need for customers to stock multiple blade sizes to accommodate different belt widths. Operators simply trim the blade to the desired size from the stock 9-ft (2.74-m) length to match the material path, slide in the blade holders and lock them in position. The new blade can be retrofitted to virtually any of this company’s main frame and most competing designs. Five different urethane formulations are currently available for the QC1+. — Martin Engineering, Neponset, Ill.
