Product Description
3 Product Description
3.1 Design and Function
The XHD QC™#1 belt cleaner (VHD = eXtra Heavy Duty) is de-
signed for extremely heavy-duty applications; it can be used on con-
veyor belts with a width of up to 3000 mm and a belt speed of up to
6 m/sec. Placing the installation position of the primary cleaner at
the head drum and the primary cleaner (e.g. QC™#2) just after the
head drum ensures that scraped-off material is again added to the
material flow.
The pre-cleaner and the primary cleaner can be used individually,
but for optimum cleaning results it is recommended to install a com-
bined system of pre- and primary cleaners.XXX
3.2 Tensioners
The MARTIN®XHD QC™#1 belt cleaner and the Martin Engineering
tensioners, specifically developed for it, provide the best results and
conform to the general state-of-the-art technology.
Martin Engineering recommends the following tensioners for the
MARTIN®XHD QC™#1 belt cleaner:

5.2 Installation procedure
5.2.1 Determining the installation position
Determining the position of the mainframe and the tensioner of the
MARTIN®QC™#1 primary cleaner must be done on both sides of
the chute wall. In the process, those positions are determined where
the mainframe of the MARTIN®XHD QC™#1 primary cleaner pass-
es through the chute wall or where the tensioner is installed on the
chute wall.
The MARTIN®XHD QC™#1 primary cleaner is operated along with
a tensioner. This is disassembled at the factory before delivery and
is reassembled during the installation along with the primary clean-
er.
The installation of the MARTIN®XHD QC™#1 primary cleaner and
the spring tensioner is described in this manual and the installation
manual of the tensioner.
There follows an overview of the installation steps:
There may be different local conditions that require different working
steps, which are shown below:
Installation on an encapsulated delivery system
• Carry out the instructions given in section 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 section 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.
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.
