Clean Scrape Belt Cleaner Reduces Need for Manual Clean up
Question
A conveyor at a coal mine has a material return issue. The system transports hundreds of tons of coal slurry on a 48-inch wide (1200mm) conveyor belt at a speed of 300fpm (1.524 m/s) from the mine to the surface facilities. Although the outdoor part of the belt is covered, it is still exposed to extreme weather, causing material to adhere to the return side of the belt, accumulate around the main unit, and make the rollers sticky, requiring downtime for maintenance and increasing operating costs.
Solution
Bai-ott demonstrated the innovative belt cleaning technology to the managers, namely the "RIT Primary Cleaner." Technicians only need to install the primary cleaner on the conveyor frame according to the instructions, ensuring that the polyurethane blade of the cleaner is closely fitted to the belt with a certain pressure, while still effectively removing adhered materials. It is suitable for belt speeds of up to 1500fpm (8m/s) for vulcanized splices and 800fpm (4m/s) for mechanical joints, allowing the cleaner to safely glide over the joints while effectively removing materials and reducing residue.
Results
After installing the RIT belt cleaner on the conveyor system and immediately obtaining measurable results, the operators promptly installed the cleaner on three additional conveyors and ordered eight replaceable polyurethane blades. A company executive said, "We are very satisfied; this is the best belt cleaner we have used, with a particularly noticeable reduction in material return issues." The operators stated that the RIT belt cleaner reduced the labor required for cleaning and improved system efficiency, and they expect its lifespan to be longer than that of previous cleaners.
