Belt Washer/Cleaner System Flushes Carryback
Passing through a powder-coated steel box with top rollers, the belt is washed by multinozzle spray bars delivering 5 to 60 psi (0.34 to 4.14 bar) of pressure, using 5 to 54 gpm (20 to 204 L/min) of water. The belt is then scraped clean by a polyurethane blade and/or a urethane squeegee blade, set on a tensioner for a tight and consistent blade-to-belt seal. Residue drains through an outlet funnel below the box.
Operators concerned with the amount of moisture remaining on the belt have the option of adding a squeegee roller, which lifts the belt slightly and “flattens” the layer of water on the surface from an average of 50 microns in thickness to 20 microns. This facilitates evaporation on the return and is particularly useful on shorter conveyors.
Built for medium- to heavy-duty applications,
the Dual Cleaner System is
equipped with three rollers, four spray
bars, two inspection doors and two polyurethane
secondary cleaners. The Single
Cleaner System includes a roller, a secondary
blade and a spray bar, which are
accessed by inspection doors on either
side of the enclosure.
