Belt Cleaning

There are several types of conveyor belt cleaners designed to address specific cleaning needs in various industries. The Lutze Group offering consists of many different belt cleaners:

• Primary belt cleaners: These are the first line of defense against material buildup on the conveyor belt. They are typically located at the head pulley and use a scraper to remove the bulk of the material residue. Primary belt cleaners are mainly made of polyurethane or tungsten-carbide.
• Secondary belt cleaners: Positioned after the primary cleaner, these cleaners provide a secondary cleaning action to ensure any remaining material is removed.
  • Brush cleaners: These cleaners use rotating brushes to scrub material residue from the belt surface, making them effective for applications with sticky or adhesive materials.
  • Air knife cleaners: These cleaners use compressed air to blow away material residues from the belt's surface. They are suitable for applications with lightweight materials or when water or chemicals cannot be used for cleaning.

• Tertiary belt cleaners: These cleaners are positioned at the tail pulley and provide a final cleaning pass to ensure minimal material carryback. They are particularly useful in high-speed and high-tonnage applications.
• Plow scrapers: Belt plows are used to divert material off the conveyor belt before it can accumulate. They are particularly useful for controlling material flow and preventing spillage.
• Blade cleaners use a blade or scraper to remove material buildup from the belt. They come in various designs, including urethane blades, tungsten carbide blades, and more, depending on the specific application.
