Flexco has launched secondary belt cleaners with slide out cartridges.
It has released the Mineline MHS Secondary cleaner with service advantage cartridges.
The cleaner only needs one operator to remove the cartridge, which they can do from one side of the conveyor or the chute wall.
Following the removal of a pin, the cartridge slides out easily with the use of a cartridge removal tool, which stores in the pole for easy access.
Replacement can be completed in a matter of minutes and multiple cartridges can be replaced during the same maintenance period.
The cartridges can also be easily refurbished onsite.
The slide-out service makes this cleaner ideal for use in tight spaces, enhancing safety by deterring operators from crawling under the conveyor or getting into dangerous spaces.
During maintenance, the cartridge’s interface with the pole is minimal – reducing the possibility of corrosion and fusing with the pole.
The cartridge is equipped with hard-wearing carbide-tipped blades for use with mechanical belt splices.
V-tips are also available for use with vulcanised belts.
The PowerFlex segmented cushion design has two tensioning elements for independent control adjustment of each blade to the belt for thorough cleaning.
The “visual tension-check” feature of the spring tensioner makes it easy to check the blade tension and return the blades to optimal tension, if required.
Designed for used in a variety of applications, the cartridge and pole are built to withstand aggressive working environments, as well as the needs of high duty cycles and high speed beltlines.
