Martin Engineering M3722-11/12 1Martin®QC1™ Cleaner XHD with Metal Tipped Blade
Introduction
General To introduce product back into the product flow, a Pre-Cleaner is installed on
the face of the head pulley. On a dual cleaner system, the Secondary Cleaner
is installed immediately following the Pre-Cleaner to remove stubborn
material left on the conveyor belt. If a Pre-Cleaner cannot be used because of
space limitations, the Secondary Cleaner is installed alone. If the material-
handling process or product could be affected by contamination from the use
of these belt cleaners, the user is responsible for taking the necessary steps to
prevent contamination. Consult Martin Engineering or a representative for
alternate belt cleaners or belt cleaner locations to use where contamination
may be an issue.
Installations
without chutework
These procedures were written for equipment that is being installed on
enclosed pulley chutework. If the pulley is not enclosed, the equipment should
be installed using the best available field resources and methods to ensure that
the critical dimensions are followed for proper installation.
Belt cleaner
inspection access
If the belt cleaner is installed on enclosed pulley chutework, a Martin®
Inspection Door should be installed. Martin®Inspection Doors are available
from Martin Engineering or a representative. See “Part Numbers” for a list of
Martin®Inspection Doors and part numbers.
Belt cleaner blades
Martin®QC™ Pre-Cleaner with Metal Tipped Blade should
NOT be used on belts with mechanical fasteners. It is intended
to be used only on Vulcanized Belts. When used on belts with
mechanical fasteners, damage may occur to both the belt and
the cleaner assembly. The cleaner should NOT be used on a
belt that contains gouges, holes, or other belt imperfections, as
the cleaner may cause further damage to the belt.
