DT2S Reversing Cleaner
Troubleshooting/Installation Checklist
Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing problems with belt cleaner, see below:
NOTE
Conveyor equipment such as conveyor belt cleaners are
subject to a wide variety of bulk materials characteristics and
often have to perform under extreme operating or
environmental conditions. It is not possible to predict all
circumstances that may require troubleshooting. Contact
Martin Engineering or a representative if you are
experiencing problems other than those listed in the
“Troubleshooting” chart above. Do not return the equipment
to operation until the problem has been identified and
corrected.
Installation
checklist
If after taking corrective actions suggested under “Troubleshooting” you are
still experiencing problems, check for the following:
Symptom
Corrective Action
Blades pop out of track.
Tension is set too high. Reduce pressure or tension.
High blade wear rate.
Tension is set too high. Reduce pressure or tension.
Insufficient cleaning and carryback.
• Tension is set too low or too high. Increase or decrease
pressure or tension.
• Check blades for excessive wear and replace if necessary.
Blades vibrate.
• Incorrect installation angle. Check installation, ensuring
cleaner mount is perpendicular to belt.
• Belt deflected upward on tensioning of cleaner. Install an
idler roller over the belt near the belt contact point.
• Belt vibration being transferred to cleaner. Install an idler
roller over the belt near the blade contact point.
Mainframe bent.
• Mainframe undersized. Stiffened mainframe required.
Contact Martin Engineering for assistance.
• Excessive tension. Relax blade tension to maximum
tension recommended in installation instructions.
• Increase frequency of inspection and service once a week.
• A small amount of deflection is considered normal. Contact
Martin Engineering if excessive deflection occurs.
Installation Checklist
-
Mainframe is parallel to pulley.
-
Blades are perpendicular to belt.
