Factory Direct Conveyor Belt Cleaner for Efficient Bulk Material Handling

Head Pulley Cleaning

The primary cleaning position is normally located at the conveyor discharge area where the largest amount of residual material remains after unloading. YUFENG primary cleaners use high-performance polyurethane blades with adjustable tension systems to maintain continuous contact with the belt surface.

The floating tension structure allows the blade to absorb temporary impact from large material particles while reducing the risk of belt surface damage. It is widely used in coal mines, aggregate plants, crushing systems and bulk material conveyors.

Secondary Surface Cleaning

After primary cleaning removes larger particles, fine materials such as wet slurry, mineral powder and sticky dust may still remain on the belt surface. Secondary cleaners use fine-contact polyurethane blades to improve cleaning efficiency.

The combined use of primary and secondary cleaning systems provides better results for mining applications where material carry-back can affect return rollers and conveyor stability.

Return Belt Protection

Material falling onto the return side can enter the tail pulley area and create mechanical problems. YUFENG V-plough return cleaners are installed on the non-working side of the belt to push unwanted debris away before it reaches sensitive conveyor components.

The V-shaped structure helps guide foreign materials toward the belt edges while reducing the risk of tail pulley blockage and belt damage.

Polyurethane Cleaning Series

Polyurethane blades provide a balanced combination of wear resistance, flexibility and belt protection. They are suitable for general bulk materials including coal, limestone, aggregates and industrial minerals.

The elastic blade structure maintains stable contact with conveyor belts while adapting to surface changes caused by belt joints or minor irregularities.

Tungsten Carbide Series

For highly abrasive materials such as sharp ore and heavy mining products, YUFENG supplies tungsten carbide tip cleaners. The hard alloy inserts provide improved wear resistance under extreme abrasion conditions.

These cleaners are suitable for long-distance mining conveyors with high throughput where frequent blade replacement can increase maintenance workload.

Rotary Brush Series

Rotary brush cleaners use motor-driven nylon brush rollers to remove fine particles without damaging sensitive belt surfaces. They are suitable for patterned conveyor belts, chevron belts and materials that are not suitable for direct scraping.

Mining Applications

Underground and open-pit mining conveyors usually face heavy material impact and high abrasion. Primary polyurethane cleaners and tungsten carbide cleaners are commonly selected according to ore hardness and conveying capacity.

Port and Aggregate Applications

Ports and aggregate plants often handle large volumes of bulk materials where material carry-back can affect conveyor efficiency. YUFENG cleaners help reduce material accumulation and improve housekeeping conditions around conveyor lines.

Cement and Industrial Plants

Sticky powder materials require efficient surface cleaning to prevent buildup on return rollers. Secondary cleaners and rotary brush systems can be customized for fine particles and moisture-sensitive applications.

Blade Material Selection

Customers can select polyurethane blades, tungsten carbide tip blades or nylon brush rollers according to material abrasiveness and belt surface requirements.

Frame and Tension Design

The support frame can be manufactured with painted Q235 steel or hot-dip galvanized anti-corrosion steel for outdoor, coastal and chemical environments.

Spring tension systems and manual adjustment assemblies are available to maintain suitable blade pressure during operation.

Equipment Compatibility

YUFENG supports customized frame dimensions and blade lengths according to conveyor belt width. The cleaners are compatible with common conveyor systems including DTII and CEMA standard conveyor structures.

Stable Contact Performance

The floating tension mechanism keeps the scraper blade in continuous contact with the belt surface while allowing temporary movement when hard particles pass through. This design helps prevent excessive pressure that may damage the conveyor belt.

Multiple Cleaning Technologies

Different materials require different cleaning approaches. Polyurethane blades are suitable for general applications, tungsten carbide tips provide extended service life under severe abrasion, and rotary brushes offer gentle cleaning for special belt surfaces.

Reduced Maintenance Requirements

The quick-release blade design allows operators to replace worn components without removing the complete cleaner assembly. This reduces maintenance time and helps improve conveyor availability.

Corrosion Resistant Structure

For outdoor, coastal and chemical environments, YUFENG provides hot-dip galvanized support frames to improve corrosion resistance and maintain long-term structural stability.

Wide Compatibility

YUFENG cleaners are suitable for various conveyor belt types including fabric belts, steel cord belts, solid woven PVC/PVG belts and chevron patterned belts. They can be integrated with different conveyor systems according to project requirements.

Primary Cleaner Installation

The primary cleaner should be installed near the head pulley discharge area. The blade pressure should be adjusted to achieve effective contact with the belt surface without excessive compression.

Over-tightening may accelerate blade wear and increase friction against the conveyor belt. Proper tension adjustment ensures effective cleaning while protecting both belt and scraper components.

Return Cleaner Installation

The V-plough return cleaner should be installed on the return belt section before the tail pulley area. The blade position should allow debris to move toward the belt sides without creating unnecessary running resistance.

Rotary Brush Adjustment

For rotary brush cleaners, the brush roller should be aligned parallel with the pulley axis. Operators should confirm motor rotation direction and protective cover installation before commissioning.

Maintenance Recommendation

Regular inspection helps maintain cleaning performance. YUFENG recommends checking blade wear conditions periodically, adjusting tension when necessary and replacing components when cleaning efficiency decreases.

Conveyor Belt Products

Supporting products include fabric conveyor belts, steel cord conveyor belts, solid woven PVC/PVG belts and chevron patterned belts for mining, quarry and industrial applications.

Conveyor Equipment

YUFENG supplies conveyor idlers, impact beds, return rollers, self-aligning idlers and other supporting components used in complete conveying systems.

Rubber Accessories

Additional products include conveyor skirt rubber, wear-resistant rubber sheets, belt repair kits, impact slider bars and mining belt fasteners.

Scraper Materials

Polyurethane blades use high-quality cast PU materials with excellent abrasion resistance, elasticity and tear resistance. Tungsten carbide tips use high-hardness alloy inserts designed for severe wear environments.

Brush and Frame Materials

Rotary brush cleaners use high-strength wear-resistant nylon filaments. Support frames are manufactured from Q235 steel with optional hot-dip galvanizing treatment for improved corrosion protection.

Component Testing

Each batch of scraper blades undergoes abrasion resistance and resilience testing before shipment to ensure consistent cleaning performance.
