The QC #1 MT pre-cleaner from Martin
Engineering is a new cleaning blade for
use on vulcanized conveyor belts, and
features a special polyurethane blend
and tungsten carbide tip to deliver service
life claimed to be two to three times
longer than conventional urethane
blades. Designed to provide excellent
cleaning performance immediately,
avoiding any break-in period, the precleaner
is designed to maintain consistent
tension without frequent adjustment,
requiring re-tensioning just twice
a year in most applications. This precleaner,
according to the supplier, was
developed specifically for vulcanized
belts with no mechanical splices, and
can be used at belt speeds up to 900
ft/min (4.6 m/sec). The heavy-duty
blade is well suited for wet, sticky
material applications, and there is no
limitation to the type of material on
which it can be used.
The new model uses the same
mounting dimensions and tensioning
pressures as the company’s popular QC
#1 heavy-duty pre-cleaner. Utilizing
both spring and twist tensioners, the
QC #1 MT fits both one- and threepiece
mainframes. To introduce product
back into the product flow, the QC #1
MT is installed on the face of the head
pulley. On a dual cleaner system, the
pre-cleaner is installed immediately in
front of the secondary cleaner.
