Description of the product
3 Description of the product
3.1 Design and function
The product is provided especially for cleaning difficult profile belts,
e.g. chevron or slatted belts, and baked-on material. It is largely
used as a single cleaning system; can however also be used in
combination with a main cleaner.
The product installation is centred below the head pulley so as to
feed the bulk solid back into the material stream. If by the use of this
product, the material handling process is interrupted or the product
contaminated, the user is responsible for taking any counter
measures necessary.
Various bristle materials can be selected for a very large range of
applications. For this, there are two different materials (polyester
and brass) availablethat are specified in more detail in thetechnical
data sheet. These are available for selection inthree different bristle
patterns (full, spiral-shaped and straight).
Only the same material and bristle pattern type can be used
together. A mixture of different material and bristle pattern is not
intended and must be checked in any individual case.
NOTE
An unfavourably or improperly installed product can disrupt the
conveyor process or contaminate the bulk material to be
transported.
The owner-operator is responsible for taking the required
countermeasures.
In the case of applications with contaminants, Martin Engineering
or one of its representatives can assist with the positioning or with
special solutions.

5.1 Safety information
NOTE
Read this section completely before starting any kind of work!
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Body parts and/or clothing may get caught and pulled in by
rotating 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
accessories are switched off and secured against unauthorised
reactivation. Use warning signs!
WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Increased risk when using a cutting torch or welding device in
closed rooms!
Check the gas and dust content of the air before usage.
NOTE
The chute wall on which the angular geared motor is installed is
designated in the following as the "operator side". The opposite
chute wall is referred to as the "opposite side".

Installation
5.2 Installation process
5.2.1 Determination of the installation position
The position of the axle and the tensioning device of the secondary
cleaner must be determined on both sides of the chute wall. In this
process, the positions are therefore determined for where the shaft
of the secondary cleaner is routed through the chute wall and/or
where the tensioner is installed on the chute wall.
The secondary cleaner is delivered jointly with a tensioner. This is
delivered as a work´s dismantled unit and will be installed together
with the secondary cleaner during the general installation.
The installation process forthe secondary cleaner and the tensioner
is described in the supplied installation instructions.
An overview of the installation steps follows:
Various on-site conditions requiring different work steps are
possible for the installation. These are presented as follows:
Installation on an encapsulated transfer system
• Follow the instructions given in Section 5.2.2.
Installation on an encapsulated transfer system with pre-existing
installation openings and air line brackets for belt cleaners.
• Follow the instructions given in Section 5.2.3.
Installation on an open transfer system
• Use the equipment provided at the site to comply with the
dimensions for correct installation.

Installation
NOTE
Martin Engineering recommends installing a MARTIN®inspection
door for the purpose of better accessibility for maintenance and
repairs.
NOTE
The secondary cleaner should ideally be installed near a head
pulley or a counter-pressure roller. The clearance should not be
more than 200 mm.
NOTE
The installation position is to be so selected that sufficient space is
available for the installation of the MARTIN®brush cleaner.
This distance should lie at least 350 mm outside the chute wall on
the operator side and at least 100 mm on the opposite side.

Installation
1. Deactivate the conveyor system and all accessories before
starting the installation work and secure them against
inadvertent reactivation.
2. Mark the vertical and horizontal centre line of the driving drum
on the operator side of the chute wall to determine the centre
point (B, Fig. 2) of the driving drum. Extend the vertical
centreline to determine the point C.
3. Mark a position (F, Fig. 2) at a distance from 50 to no more than
200 mm in the conveying direction (A, Fig. 2) from the point at
which the belt leaves the head pulley (C, Fig. 2).
4. Draw a vertical line at this position (F, Fig. 2) going downwards
at a right angle to the conveyor belt.
5. Use the dimensions from Figure 2 to mark the installation holes
for the tensioner.
6. Create the slot-shaped cut-out and installation holes as shown
in Figure 2.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 on the opposite side of the chute wall.

4. Insert the feather key into the axle, if not already done.
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
The secondary cleaner is heavy and can cause serious injuries if it
is dropped during lifting or moving.
Always use a suitable lifting device or engage the help of several
persons when lifting the brush cleaner. Do not stand under
hanging loads.
