IPS Belt Cleaner 6 19/11/2021
SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION
The IPS Belt Cleaner is a conveyor belt secondary cleaner, and is usually used in conjunction
with a head pulley primary cleaner such as the ESS XHD, DT or TM DOCTOR BLADE
Primary Cleaners.
The
IPS is normally mounted such that the cleaning blades contact the belt as it leaves the
head pulley or other accessible position on the return belt. The blades of the IPS , when
tensioned, lay in the direction of belt travel, contacting at a negative angle and presenting no
snag or danger to the belt or splices. (See figure 1.)
