Introduction
GeneralThe Martin
pulley primary cleaner such as the Martin
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.

Installation
Locating Cleaner
Centerline
Solid backing of the blade is essential to ensure proper
operation and efficient cleaning. Install the cleaner adjacent to
the head pulley or a flat pressure roller to obtain best cleaning
results. See Figures 1a and 1b.
For installation on enclosed head pulley chutework, draw all
dimension lines on chute wall. In applications where head
pulley is not enclosed, use the best available field resources
and/or methods to ensure that these critical dimensions are
followed for a proper installation.
1. On the return side of the belt, locate the tangent point at which the belt
leaves the head pulley. Measure a distance 2 in. (50 mm) and draw a line
perpendicular to the belt at this point. See Figures 1a and 1b.
2. Note: For installation below pressure rollers, mark the vertical line 2 in.
(50 mm) from the centerline of the roller. See Figure 1a.
