MARTIN® Belt Cleaning Systems
Martin Engineering's THINK CLEAN® Philosophy
As the world's leading developer of engineered belt cleaning systems, Martin Engineering has developed fundamental principles for cleaner design and per¬formance. This philosophy notes that:
For Efficiency, Multiple Cleaners |
Keep the Pressure On |
A Complete System for Effective Belt Cleaning Performance under Tough Conditions.
Used individually or together, MARTIN® ORION BELT CLEANING SYSTEMS' provide an effective method of removing material and mois¬ture, to leave a clean and dry belt surface.
The optional water spray system can be fit to all MARTIN® ORION BELT CLEANING SYSTEMS® to improve cleaning and control dust.

As the first stage in a multiple cleaner system, the pre-cleaner removes the majority of material adhered to the belt, leaving only a thin layer of sticky fines.
Pre-cleaners are generally tensioned at low pressure-roughly 2 psi (13.8 kPa)-against the belt. Low blade-to-belt pressure allows the pre-cleaner to be positioned at a peeling angle against the belt. The use of higher pressure at this angle would endanger the belt, splice, or cleaner itself.
Pre-Cleaners are typically installed on the face of the head pulley, just below the material trajectory. Cleaner should be constructed to avoid material buildup, and installed so it is out of the material stream.

Secondary Cleaners remove the residual fines or slime that has remained on the belt past the pre-cleaner. More than one secondary cleaner may be required to reach the desired
level of cleaning.
A secondary cleaner is typically installed at the point where the belt is leaving the discharge pulley. This is typically close enough to the material trajectory that the cleanings will return to the main material stream.
Sometimes a secondary cleaner(s) must be positioned farther from the discharge point; an extended dribble chute or scavenger conveyor may be required to return the carryback to the main material stream.
Tertiary Cleaners
Additional cleaners can be installed to provide final cleaning. These cleaners can be the same model as the secondary cleaner, or of a different design to allow efficient cleaning and
maintenance within the available space.
As these cleaners are typically installed away from the pulley, they should be installed at or near a point where the belt is against a roller. Firm support will prevent cleaning pressure from raising the belt line and reducing cleaning efficiency. It may be necessary to add a roller to provide this support.
The MARTIN® SQC2™ Secondary Scraper uses individually-cushioned tungsten carbide blades for effective cleaning without risk to belt, splice or blade. Installed in the secondary cleaner position, the MARTIN® SQC2™ Secondary Scraper incorporates rubber blade buffers to cushion impact and maintain cleaning pressure. |

The QC® #2 System combines unique teardrop-shaped, tungsten carbide-tipped blades with linear spring tensioners for effective cleaning performance. Tensioners and cleaner are engineered as a system to limit need for adjustment to one time at midpoint of blade life. Suitable for belt speeds up to 1000 fpm (5.1 m/sec); available for belts from 18- to 96-in. (400- to 2400-mm) wide. |

MARTIN® Chevron Secondary Cleaner The MARTIN' Chevron Belt Cleaner uses rubber or urethane blades with one-half inch wide fingers to remove carryback yet gently step over belts with ribs, chevrons, and cleats. The MARTIN® Standard Chevron Belt Cleaner incorporates arms with blades offset at a 30° angle to allow the edge to ripple over belt cleats. Use the MARTIN® IN-LINE Chevron Belt Cleaner where stringy material like vines, wire or bark can catch on cleaner arms. Cleaners are available for belts from 18- to 96-in. (400- to 2400-mm) wide and operating at speeds up to 500 fpm (2.5 m/sec). |
MARTIN® Brush CleanerPowered by a small electric motor, MARTIN® Brush cleaners turn against belt motion to remove residual material. Rotation is supplied by a 1 HP motor for belts from 18- to 42-in. (450- to 1200mm) wide or a 2 HP motor from 48- to 96-in. (1200- to 2400-mm) wide. Standard motor is 230/460 Volt, 3-Phase, 60-Hertz, TEFC Explosion-Proof. The brush is 10 in. (250 mm) in diameter. Polypropylene bristles are standard; other materials are available.
MARTIN® TRAC-MOUNT T™Brush Cleaner allows slide-in replacement of its spiral cleaning brush. Available for belts from 24- to 96-in. (600- to 2400-mm) wide. |
