Troubleshooting
Check the following items if excessively high wear on the blades
and/or unsatisfactory cleaning performance are/is noticed following
installation:
NOTE
The product is exposed to highly diverse bulk materials and is
often used under extreme operating and environmental conditions.
Malfunctions other than those listed below can therefore occur.
In this case, either Martin Engineering or one of its representatives
can assist with the positioning or with special solutions. Do not
start up the conveyor system again until the fault has been recog-
nised and cleared.
Symptom
Cause
Remedy
High wear on the
blades.
The cleaner is too tightly
tensed on the conveyor belt.
Reduce the tension. (Tension
values can be found in the
tensioner's installation manual)
Cleaner installed in the
material flow.
Install the cleaner in a different
place.
Insufficient cleaning
performance and
material
accumulation.
The cleaner is not tensed
enough or is tensed too
tightly on the conveyor belt.
Increase or reduce the tension.
The blades are worn.
Inspect the blades and replace if
necessary. (Sec. 6.2 "Weekly
maintenance").
The cleaner is installed too
high up on the head pulley
and impairs the material
flow.
Install the cleaner at a lower level.
Unusual pattern of
wear or damage to
the blade.
Damaged conveyor belt or
connection points.
Inspect the conveyor belt's
connection points and repair or
replace as needed.
Cleaner installed in the
material flow.
Install the cleaner in a different
place.
Different tension values of
the In-line-Reversing
tensioner.
Check the tension values and
possibly re-tighten.
