The safety aspects of an inspection with equipment operating must be observed, as the H-Type®
cleaner operates at the discharge end of the conveyor and is in direct contact with the moving
conveyor belt.
No attempt should be made to physically handle any section or element of the H-Type® cleaner
which is inside the chute area.
A visual inspection of the cleaners’ performance can be made from outside the chute, if closer
inspection is required the conveyor must be shut down and locked out.
When any of the above conditions are observed, a determination should be made of the neces-
sity for the interruption of production to complete needed repairs, that is, the condition serious
enough to warrant stopping the conveyor, or can it wait until the next maintenance period.

HF: Polyurethane Tipped Cleaner
9 Check all tips for mechanical damage such as wear, or grooving of the Polyurethane
9 Inspect gap between the tip and pulley face for material entrapment
ALL:
9 Check the rubber cushions of the cleaner for corrosion and indications that the metal plates
of the cushion are separating from the rubber blocks
9 Ensure there are no tips bent away from the belt. If so, this could mean:
♦ Material buildup between the tip and belt
♦ The cushion is damaged
♦ The cleaner pole cushion plate is bent
9 Inspect the pole of the cleaner for corrosion, erosion and straightness
9 Inspect the cleaner to ensure that all nuts are secure and that wear is not occurring,
particularly to the nuts which secure the tips
9 Check the cleaner pole for correct positioning in the X, Y or C coordinates
9 Replace all worn or damage components
9 Tension the cleaner to the belt
♦ Adjust the cleaner tension using the tension chart below, until the recommended
load is achieved
♦ Test run the conveyor and check for any abnormal noise or vibrations from the
cleaner

STEP 1 Choose the position on the conveyor where the cleaner will be installed (Fig. 1)
The P-Type® Belt Cleaner may be installed at any position on the beltline starting from a point
100mm from where the belt leaves the head pulley and continuing on down the conveyor. The
optimum positions are 100mm from the head pulley (Position A) or 150mm to 200mm in front of a
snubber or return roller (Position B). If either of these positions is not possible, a hold down roller
may be required to provide adequate tension for the tips. (If a hold down roller is required, the
optimum cleaner position is 150mm to 200mm in front of the roller (Position C). A hold down roller
is also required on conveyors where light belt tension makes constant tip contact unobtainable.
Downward pressure is not required; the roller simply restricts any upward movement of the belt.

4. Set the tip tension:
Turn the height adjustment bolts until the tips lightly contact the belt across the entire width of the
cleaner. Add 1-1/2 turns to both height adjustment bolts and lock nuts. Tighten all clamp block lock
bolts. NOTE: If the belt is cupped, do not overtension the tips to contact the belt. A hold-down roller
should be installed to flatten the belt (Fig. 4a & 4b).
Pull back on the outer tip in the direction of belt travel until the tip breaks contact with the belt. Let go
of the tip. With correct tension the full thickness of the adjacent tip should be visible in front of the
outer tip (Fig. 5). Also check centre tip in same manner. Add tension in 1/2-turn increments on the
height adjustment bolts until view of full thickness of the adjacent tip is obtained.

and release. The total tip thickness of the adjacent tip must be
visible (Fig. 6). Add or reduce tension by 1/2 turn until full thick-
ness is obtained.

If vibration occurs or more cleaning efficiency is desired, increase tip tension by making a 1/2 turn
on each adjusting bolt.

200-350mm 200-350mm (Fig. 1). Place the DeflectorTM on the belt to check
for any clearance or obstruction problems and
BELT BELT position it on the beltline as specified above.
STEP 2
Position the mounting brackets in either a horizontal
Fig. 2b or vertical position. The centre line of the pole must be within
MAIN
a range of 200mm to 350mm above the return belt to ensure
LINKAGE proper performance (Fig. 2a).
ASSEMBLY
45°
IMPORTANT: The main linkage assembly must be operated
10° in a range between a minimum of 10° and a maximum of 45°
(Fig. 2b). This allows the plough to float on the belt.
