Conveyor Belt Scrapers are indispensable in ensuring the efficiency of conveyor systems,
which are the lifeline of plants and mines. By removing residual
materials from the conveyor belt, these tools prevent breakdowns,
reduce operating costs, and enhance productivity. Yanming, a leading manufacturer of Conveyor Belt Scrapers, offers solutions tailored to every budget and application.
The Role of Conveyor Belt Scrapers in a Conveyor Cleaning System
Conveyor systems transport products between production units, and Conveyor Belt Scrapers play a critical role in maintaining their smooth operation.
Effective belt cleaning prevents material accumulation along the
belt, minimizing unscheduled downtime and enhancing operational
efficiency.

Conveyor Cleaner Introduction
I. Working Principle
The conveyor cleaner is a device used to clean the adhering
substances on the surface of the conveyor belt and plays an
important role in industrial production. The main working
principles are as follows:
1. Scraper cleaner:
Utilizes the friction between the hard scraper and the surface of
the conveyor belt to scrape off the adhering materials. The scraper
is usually made of wear-resistant materials such as polyurethane or
rubber.
2. Brush cleaner:
Adopts a soft brush to contact the conveyor belt. Through the
rotation or swing of the brush, the materials are brushed off. The
materials of the brush include nylon, steel wire, etc.
3. Air blow cleaner:
Uses the airflow generated by compressed air to blow off the
impurities on the conveyor belt.
II. Types and Characteristics
1. Head cleaner:
Installed at the head pulley of the conveyor. It is mainly used to
remove most of the adhering materials on the conveyor belt.
Usually has strong cleaning ability and wear resistance and can
withstand large pressure and friction.
Common types of head cleaners include counterweight type, spring
type, polyurethane scraper, etc.
2. Empty section cleaner:
Installed near the tail pulley of the conveyor or in the empty
section between the return idlers.
Used to remove a small amount of residual materials on the surface
of the conveyor belt when it returns, preventing materials from
spilling and accumulating during the return journey.
Generally in the form of rubber scraper or brush, with a relatively
simple structure.
3. Combined cleaner:
Composed of a head cleaner and an empty section cleaner, it can
achieve a more thorough cleaning effect.
Suitable for occasions with high cleaning requirements for conveyor
belts, such as transporting viscous materials and wet materials.
