New Pre-Cleaner Can Extend Life of Vulcanized Conveyor Belts

Dec. 14, 2010
New pre-cleaner was developed specifically for vulcanized belts with no mechanical splices and can be used at belt speeds up to 900 feet per minute

Martin Engineering's new cleaning blade for use on vulcanized conveyor belts features a polyurethane blend and tungsten carbide tip designed to deliver service life two to three times longer than conventional urethane blades.The QCTM #1 MT maintains consistent tension without frequent adjustment, requiring retensioning just twice a year in most applications. 

The new pre-cleaner was developed specifically for vulcanized belts with no mechanical splices and can be used at belt speeds up to 900 feet per minute (4.6 meters per second). 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. 

Customers will find a familiar mounting design on the new product, with the same mounting dimensions and tensioning pressures as the company's QCTM #1 Heavy-Duty Pre-Cleaner. Utilizing both spring and twist tensioners, the QCTM #1 MT fits both one- and three-piece mainframes.
