A new, high-quality cleaning blade for use on vulcanized conveyor
belts features a special polyurethane blend and tungsten carbide
tip to deliver service life two to three times longer than
conventional urethane blades.
Designed to provide excellent cleaning performance
immediately, avoiding any break-in period, the Quick
ChangeTM (QCTM) #1 MT precleaner
from Martin Engineering maintains consistent tension without
frequent adjustment, requiringretensioning just twice a year
in most applications.
The new pre-cleaner was developed specifically for vulcanized belts with
no mechanicalsplices, and can be used at belt speeds up to 900 feet per minute
(4.6 metres per second). The heavy-duty blade is well suited for
wet, sticky material applications, and there is no limitation to the
type of material on which it can be used.
Customers will find a familiar mounting design on the new
product, with the same mounting dimensions and tensioning
pressures as the company’s popular QCTM #1 heavy-duty
pre-cleaner. Utilizing both spring and twist tensioners, the QCTM
#1 MT fits both 1- and 3-piece mainframes.
The MARTIN® QCTM #1 family of belt cleaners combines
effective carry-back removal with ‘quick-change’ one-pin
replacement of the long-lasting, one-piece blade. To introduce
product back into the product flow, the QCTM #1 MT is installed
on the face of the head pulley. On a dual cleaner system, the
new pre-cleaner is installed immediately in front of the
secondary cleaner. For applications involving
enclosed pulley chutework, the company recommends
that one of its steel, inspection doors be
installed.
