Eliminate Costly Carryback: High-Performance Primary Conveyor Belt Cleaners

Carryback isn’t just messy—it’s a major source of belt wear, material loss, and safety hazards. Our Primary Conveyor Belt Cleaners are engineered to solve this problem at its source. Installed at the head pulley, our cleaners aggressively remove residual material from the belt surface using durable, wear-resistant polyurethane scrapers. This dramatically reduces spillage, prevents pulley buildup, and protects your belt from damage, leading to a cleaner site, lower maintenance costs, and extended equipment life. Custom-designed for your specific material and operating conditions.

The First and Most Important Defense Against Costly Carryback

When bulk materials stick to your conveyor belt past the discharge point, they create a cycle of inefficiency and expense. This carryback falls off along the return strand, creating piles of wasted product, environmental hazards, and accelerated wear on idlers and pulleys. Our Primary Conveyor Belt Cleaners are mounted directly at the head pulley—the point of maximum effect—to break this cycle, protect your investment, and maintain a clean, safe, and efficient operation from the start.

How Our Primary Cleaner Delivers Immediate Value:

  • Drastically Reduce Spillage and Cleanup Costs

    • Feature: Precision-engineered polyurethane scraper blades (straight, curved, or serrated) that conform to the belt.

    • Advantage: Effectively dislodges a wide range of materials, from sticky clay to abrasive ores, right at the discharge point.

    • Benefit: Prevents material from being carried down the return side, eliminating the primary source of spillage and the associated labor for cleanup.

  • Protect Your Belt and Components from Premature Wear

    • Feature: The scraper material is tough yet flexible, designed for effective cleaning without gouging or damaging the belt carcass.

    • Advantage: Removes abrasive particles that would otherwise grind against idlers and pulleys.

    • Benefit: Extends the service life of your most expensive components—the belt, idlers, and pulleys—significantly lowering your replacement costs.

  • Custom-Engineered for Your Unique Application

    • Feature: Tailor-made solutions for specific challenges, including high-temperature zones, corrosive materials, or explosive atmospheres.

    • Advantage: Whether you handle sharp aggregates, hygroscopic grains, or sticky cement, we provide the optimal scraper profile and material.

    • Benefit: You get a cleaner that works effectively from day one, with no compromise on performance for your specific material and operating environment.

  • Enhanced Cleaning with Optional Brush Systems

    • Feature: Optional secondary cleaning brush with nylon or steel wire bristles.

    • Advantage: Provides a final, thorough cleaning to remove fine, dusty particles that scrapers may miss.

    • Benefit: Achieves near-total carryback removal, which is critical for protecting product purity in food and chemical processing and controlling dust.
