Slide-out Conveyor Cartridge Cleaner for Mining
Flexco says it has developed the mining
industry’s first true slide-out cartridge
cleaner—the MHS, designed for a variety
of applications including underground, surface
coal, hard rock, power plant and loadout
facilities. The MHS cartridge cleaner
can slid out from one side of a conveyor or
chute wall for inspection or replacement by
a single worker in only a matter of minutes.
Service also can be done from one side of
the conveyor or chute without special
equipment or permits. Flexco says the side
slide-out design is safer for workers
because it doesn’t require them to crawl
underneath the conveyor or be in tight
spaces within a chute to remove the cartridges.
Blade replacement can be accomplished
faster and easier without removing
the complete assembly pole or brackets
from the chute. Instead, changing the
cleaner blades is done by removing a pin,
sliding the blade cartridge out through the
side and replacing it with a new or rebuilt
blade cartridge. This provides maintenance
workers with the ability to replace multiple
blade cartridges during the same maintenance
job. The cartridges can also be easily
rebuilt on site.
