Modifications to Parts
Do not attempt to make any modifications or alterations to the device regarding the configuration,
installation, operation and maintenance without written approval from HOSCH. Unauthorised modifi-
cations or alterations to the device could lead to serious damage to property and personnel.
General Danger Notice
During operation, unexpected deflection movements may occur. Danger of entrapment exists. The site
operator should guard the mountings (railings, danger signs, etc).
The wearing of scraper parts may cause sharp edges. The risk of injury during installation or
maintenance exists.
Prevent the scraper from unintentional pivoting.
Due to the friction that occurs during operation, the blades or module tips are likely to become very
hot. Touching them immediately upon stopping the belt can lead to serious burns.
The contact between the blades or modules and the running conveyor belt can create static electricity.
Be cautious when touching the device! Attention: Sparking may occur through discharge.
Mineral or metallic particles may collect on the belt surface and, in exceptional cases, cause sparking
when passing the blades or modules.
The weakened structures of worn parts are likely to break. To guarantee personal and conveyor safety,
these parts have to be replaced with new ones.
Safety precautions during installation and maintenance work
Carry out installation or maintenance work on the scrapers only after the conveyor belt has been
stopped and "locked-out". The working area has to be isolated. Do not begin any work that has not
been previously authorised by a responsible person.
Protective clothing, in particular safety boots, gloves, helmet and protective glasses are mandatory.
An authorised work permit from the relevant manager must be obtained prior to any welding and
cutting work.
When working at heights, provide safety devices, for example scaffolds, railings, guard nets, safety
harnesses. The devices must have been inspected and released as fit for work.
Prior to operating the scraper, ensure that the site is completely cleared. All equipment or parts, such
as scaffolds, lifting gears, tools etc. should be removed from the area prior to restarting the conveyor
belt. Safety devices (hoods, guards etc.) that may have been dismantled must be refitted.
All screwed connections are to be checked and secured before each stage of commissioning and after
each service. Security components (spring washers, counter nuts) should not be re-used. They must be
replaced with new parts. In case of mechanical damage, e.g. corrosion, new parts must be installed.
Only original, genuine HOSCH parts should be used.

DESCRIPTION (Continued)
Design
The HOSCH pre-scraper Type HD-PU-L is known as a head-pulley scraper. The characteristics of the scraper
are the single-row PU cleaning blocks. For belt widths up to 1,050mm, the assembly carrier is of a one-piece
design and is fitted with one single tensioning unit. For belt widths of more than 1,050mm, the scraper is
equipped with 2 tensioning units and the assembly carrier is divided into 3 parts.
Function
The centerpieces of the scraper are its cleaning blocks (A) made of highly abrasion-resistant PU material. During
operation, the cleaning blocks are kept in contact with the belt surface by the tensioning unit (D).
The assembly carrier is fixed within the mountings (D, E (up to1,050 mm)) and is turnable. These mountings are
bolted to the belt conveyor frame and the distance between them should be kept to a minimum to provide maxi-
mum support.
List of tools
For the scraper installation and maintenance the following tools are required as a minimum:
• 2 of ring/open-end spanner 19 mm
• 2 of ring/open-end spanner 24 mm
• 1 of assembly lever
• 1 of measuring tape 2 m
• 1 of fitter's square 160x250
• 1 of hand-brush
• 1 of wire brush
• 1 of one-hand right-angle grinder
• 1 of marker pen

INSTALLATION
The contents of this document may be subject to technical modifications
1. Determine the installation position
1. Find out the radius “R“.
2. Add the radius “R“ to the measurement “E“ (see illustra-
tion) and draw an arc of a circle with this measurement
around the pulley centre point.
3. Find out the assembly carrier centre point “PC“. With the
measurement “C”, draw a line horizontal to the centre
line of the pulley.
At “Cmin“, the tip of the cleaning block is located at
the “3 o’clock position”. HOSCH recommends
selecting “C” in such a way that the cleaning tip is
located between 0° (3 o’clock) and 30° (4 o’clock).
Pulley diameter øA [mm]
2. Determine the position of the mountings
1. Determine the position of the mountings from the assem-
bly carrier centre point “PC”.
2. The mountings should preferably be installed at solid
unbendable conveyor frame parts, e.g. beams.

INSTALLATION (Continued)
9. Secure the scraper
Secure the scraper with the clamp ring (1) to prevent
lateral movement of the assembly (only for scrapers with
a single tensioning unit).
10. Trial run
For checking the correct function of the scraper the following test runs are required:
1. Test the scraper function by running in an unloaded condition (min. 15 minutes).
Observe the scraper in particular during the passing of belt splices and belt patches. To obtain the best
possible control results, this test run should last for at least 15 min.
2. Test the scraper function, run with a loaded conveyor belt (min. 30 minutes).
Check the cleaning results, if necessary adjust the individual cleaning blocks again only after the conveyor
belt has been isolated. Due to the changing load of the belt or changes in the consistency of the conveyed
material this control should last for at least 30 min.
Make sure that there are no persons in the dangerous areas of the conveyor. Pay attention to the rules
on how to restart the conveyor belt safely.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
To maintain maximum efficiency and performance, the scraper unit needs to be serviced regularly.
Always pay attention to the necessary safety requirements during all service work on scrapers and
conveyor belts.
First inspection
After the first full day of operation, the scraper should undergo a visual inspection. Please check the
scraper function, the cleaning performance, the material flow and vibration-free operation.
Furthermore, the belt surface, the belt splice and belt patches must be inspected.
Scheduled maintenance
Follow-up inspections of the scraper should be made regularly. The inspection intervals are variable,
depending on the operating conditions of the scraper. The scope of the inspection is the same as the
first inspection. Additionally, the condition of the cleaning tips (PU or tungsten carbide) must be
checked and, if required, any material build-up must be cleaned off the scraper. Care should be taken
when handling the cleaning tips to prevent causing damage to the tips.
Attention: Damaged cleaning tips might damage the belt surface and reduce the cleaning
performance.
Maintenance
Under normal operating conditions carry out an inspection every 8 to 12 weeks. If necessary carry out
any maintenance work required. Please contact HOSCH for all questions about maintenance intervals
and required maintenance steps.
Maintenance steps
1. Clean all scraper components.
2. Check function of all components.
3. Check the corrosion protection and repair if required.
4. Check the wear of all components that are in the path of the materials on the conveyor belts.
5. Replace worn or damaged components by using original HOSCH spare parts.
6. Prior to reinstalling any used blades or modules with tungsten-carbide cleaning tips, be sure to
round off the sharp edges.
7. For installation or reinstallation, please follow the instructions in this manual.
8. Check all the hardware.
