2 Product Description

2.1 Design and Function

The MARTIN® QC™ #1 heavy-duty conveyor belt scraper is designed for extremely heavy-duty applications; it can be used on conveyor belts with a width of up to 3000 mm and a belt speed of up to 5 m/s. The cleaner blade is replaced by pulling out one single pin hitch with the help of a clip lock. Placing the installation position of the primary cleaner at the head drum and the primary cleaner (e.g.

™

#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 combined system of pre- and primary cleaners..

NOTE

A product that has not been installed properly or correctly may disrupt the conveyance process and contaminate the bulk material to be transported. The operator is therefore responsible for implementing the necessary counter measures. When using with contaminants Martin Engineering or a representative can help with the positioning or customized solutions.
