Product Description
3 Product Description
3.1 Design and Function
The MARTIN®QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner or MARTIN®PD
QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner with tungsten carbide (TC) inserts
enables effective elimination of return material and quick replace-
ment by loosening only one bolt holding the durable primary cleaner
cartridge.Bychoosingthe installationpositionoftheprimarycleaner
at the head pulley and the secondary cleaner just after the head pul-
ley it is ensured that thecleaned off is again fed to the material flow.
The primary and the secondary cleaners can be used individually,
but for optimum cleaning results it is recommended to install a com-
bined system of pre- and primary cleaners.
3.2 Tensioners
The MARTIN®(PD) QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner and the Martin
Engineering tensioners specifically developed for it give the best re-
sults and conform to the general state-of-the-art technology.
Martin Engineering recommends the following tensioners for the dif-
ferent versions:
MARTIN® QC™#1H primary cleaner with tungsten carbide (TC)
insert
Part no. QC1H-XXMXXXXXXX+E.
•MARTIN
®Twist spring tensioner:
Part no. 31443-I+E.
•MARTIN
®spring tensioning device:
Part no. 38180.
NOTE
A product that has not been installed properly or correctly may dis-
rupt the conveyance process and contaminate the bulk material to
be transported.
The operator is therefore responsible for implementing the neces-
sary counter measures.
When using with contaminants Martin Engineering or a represent-
ative can help with the positioning or customized solutions.

Installation Preparation
4 Installation Preparation
4.1 Prior to Installation
4.1.1 Materials and tools required
In addition to the standard tools, the following special instruments
may be needed for the installation and maintenance of the
product.
• Lifting device with a capacity greater than the weight of the
conveyor belt cleaner (note the weight on the delivery
note).
4.1.2 Preparatory measures
1. Check the delivery with respect to the following:
• Is the delivery complete? Is the number of pallets/cases/
containers the same as the number on the delivery note?
• Doesallthetransportpackagingappeartobeundamaged?
Is there damage which may indicate that the contained
products may be damaged?
NOTE
Pay attention to the following checks and carry them out carefully
and completely.
The freight forwarder is responsible for any transport damage!
For any damage claims, please contact the freight forwarder.
NOTE
A product that has not been installed properly or correctly may dis-
rupt the conveyance process and contaminate the bulk material to
be transported.
The operator is therefore responsible for implementing the neces-
sary counter measures.
For applications involving dirt or impurities, please contact Martin
Engineering or
one of its representatives for advice.

Installation Preparation
2. If the delivery is incomplete or there is any transit damage,
make sure that this isdocumented and have the freight forward-
er confirm the same.All damaged products should be saved for
inspection.
3. Depending on the scope of the order, the delivery should con-
tain the following parts:
•MARTIN
®QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner or MARTIN®PD
QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner with tungsten carbide
inserts,
• any accessories as ordered,
• two warning labels for conveyor belt products, part no.:
23395G.

5.1 Safety Instructions
NOTE
Read this chapter thoroughly prior to commencing any work!
WARNING! DANGER OF INJURY!
Body parts and/or clothing may get caught and pulled in by rotat-
ing parts or by the moving conveyor belt.
Before any installation or maintenance work is carried out, ensure
that all power sources to the conveyor belt system and its acces-
sories are switched off and secured against inadvertent switching-
on. Use warning signs!
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
In enclosed areas there is an increased risk of explosion when
using a cutting torch or welding equipment!
Before use, check the level of gas and dust in the air.
NOTE
The chute wall on which the spring tensioner shall be installed is
referred to as ‘operator side’. The other chute wall is called the
‘opposite side’.
When installing dual spring tensioners, the most accessible side is
the "operator side".

Installation
5.2 Installation procedure
5.2.1 Determining the installation position
The position of the mainframe and the tensioner of the MARTIN®
(PD) QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner must be determined on both
sides of the chute wall. In doing so, the positions are determined
where the mainframe of the MARTIN®(PD) QC™#1 HD MT primary
cleaner passes through the chute wall or where the tensioner is in-
stalled on the chute wall.
The MARTIN®(PD) QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner is operated in
conjunctionwithatensioner.Thisisde-installedatthefactorybefore
delivery and is reinstalled during the installation along with the pri-
mary cleaner.
The installation of the MARTIN® (PD) QC™#1 HD MT primary clean-
er and the tensioner is described in this manual and the installation
manual of the tensioner.
There follows an overview of the installation steps:
It is possible to have different local conditions at the time of installa-
tion; these require different working steps, which are illustrated be-
low:
Installation on an encapsulated delivery system
• Carry out the instructions according to chapter 5.2.2
onwards.
Installation on an encapsulated delivery system with existing instal-
lation openings and brackets for belt cleaners.
• Carry out the instructions given in chapter 5.2.3 onwards.
Installation on an open delivery system
• Use the local resources to ensure that the dimensions for
the installation are correctly maintained.

Installation
1. Before starting with the work of installing the conveyor belt sys-
tem, switch off all accessories and secure them against being
switched on again inadvertently.
2. Determine the midpoint position of the mainframe as described
below for the primary cleaner.
3. Mark the vertical and horizontal centre line of the driving drum
to determine the midpoint (1, Fig, 1) of the driving drum. The
vertical line must run at right angles to the conveyor line.
4. Determine or measure the radius (measurement A) of the driv-
ing drum including the thickness of the covering and the con-
veyor belt.
NOTE
The MARTIN® (PD) QC™#1 HD MT primary cleaner is installed
only in the front lower quarter of a head pulley. The specified
installation measurements must be strictly observed.
Fig. 1: Marking the installation radius
NOTE
Martin Engineering recommends the installation of a MARTIN®
inspection door for better access during maintenance and repair.

5. Add measurement X from table 2 to measurement A.
6. On the chute wall, mark a circular arc around the midpoint with
the measurement determined in step 5 (1, Fig. 1).
7. Mark a horizontal line below the horizontal centre line of the
headdrum atadistanceofZ(seetable3).Theintersectionwith
the arc marked in step 5 is the midpoint of the mainframe (3,

5.2.2 Installing the tensioner
Observe the respective instructions on installing the spring tension-
er in the respective installation manual of the spring tensioner used.
(See chapter 2.1.4).
NOTE
This is the best possible installation position recommended by
Martin Engineering for the MARTIN®(PD) QC™#1 HD MT primary
cleaner to achieve optimum cleaning results. Should this not be
possible for structural reasons, the primary cleaner can, in consul-
tation with Martin Engineering, also be installed at an angle of 20°
above or below, but the installation radius must be adhered to in
every case.

Installation
5.2.3 Installing the primary cleaner
1. First remove the primary cleaner cartridge from the mainframe
as described below:
• Open the pin hitch (1, Fig. 3) and pull it out for this purpose.
• Then pull the primary cleaner cartridge (4, Fig. 3) from the
hollow spring dowel sleeve (2, Fig. 3).
2. Remove the two spring bushings of the spring tensioners from
the flange brackets.
Fig. 3: Installing the primary cleaner Figure QC#1H)
NOTE
Observe the following steps when using the spring tensioning
device. Observe the relevant steps in the installation manual of the
tensioner when using the MARTIN®TWIST™tensioner.
