Polyurethane sweepers are used in belt conveyors

Thread Content

For polyurethane cleaners, the material used for the cutting head is polyurethane. Such cleaners are typically used as the first stage of cleaning process to remove large particles and debris; the physical properties of polyurethane determine its widespread use in the cutting heads of these cleaners. Polyurethane cleaners are primarily used to remove adhesive substances and debris from both sides of the belt. Cleaners play a role that cannot be ignored on conveyors; the production and transportation equipment in companies in industries such as coal mining, electricity, steel, and petrochemicals relies on them for cleaning. Cleaners were introduced in China relatively late; with the gradual development of the Chinese market, and thanks to the progress of the industry in recent years, the quality and technical standards of some companies’ products have now reached or come close to international levels, reflecting the strength and direction of this industry. During the process of transporting materials using belt conveyors, if residual material gets into the bearings of the drums or idlers, it accelerates bearing wear. Moreover, when material adheres to the surface of the drums or idlers, it can cause damage and scarring to the rubber coating on the conveyor belt, thereby accelerating its wear and degradation. If the material adheres to the surface of the redirecting drum or the vertical tensioning drum at the end of the conveyor belt and forms clumps, it can cause the conveyor belt to deviate from its path, increase wear on the belt, and even lead to the tearing of the rubber coating on the drums, resulting in serious consequences. If the cleaning equipment performs well, the service life of idlers, conveyor belts, drums, and similar components can all be extended ； Therefore, the cleaning done by the cleaner plays a crucial role in improving the operational efficiency and reliability of belt conveyors, reducing equipment failure rates, and lowering maintenance costs. A useful cleaning system can remove deposits adhered to the surface of the drum and the bottom of the conveyor belt, helping to prevent the conveyor belt from drifting out of alignment, extending the service life of the conveyor belt and its accessories, and avoiding accidents. It is an essential accessory for conveyor belts. The cleaner is a key component of belt conveyors, widely used in industries such as steel, mining, ports, and power plants. Compared to other cleaning tools, polyurethane cleaners have three key advantages: first, they have excellent wear resistance. Polyurethane is a special wear-resistant material synthesized from ultra-high molecular weight compounds; it possesses high mechanical strength and excellent wear resistance. Its service life is 4 times longer than that of the commonly used alloy cutting edges, making it a innovation of domestic origin. II. It has a good cleaning effect. The body uses a spring mechanism to actively adjust the cutting edge, ensuring that the cutting edge plate maintains optimal close contact with the surface of the tape and thus enabling effective removal of any adhesive residues on the tape. III. The equipment is user-friendly, with flexible mounting options that allow for easy installation regardless of the rack’s width or the height at which it is located.
