Incorporates arms with blades offset at a 30° angle, allowing the cleaning edge to ripple over belt cleats for continuous contact.
Features elastomer blades composed of 14 half-inch (12 mm) wide fingers that act independently to clean textured surfaces.
Specifically designed for applications where stringy materials like vines, wire, or bark tend to catch on conventional cleaner arms.
The Martin® Chevron Cleaner provides a high-performance solution for belts where traditional secondary scrapers are unsuitable due to surface textures or cleats. By employing shock-absorbing torsion arms, the cleaner maintains steady pressure while adapting to the belt’s profile.
The system utilises elastomer blades with individual “fingers” that independently step over ribs and chevrons, ensuring material is removed from the recesses of the belt. This design is particularly effective in agricultural or industrial settings where stringy contaminants often foul standard cleaning equipment. The unit is available with various blade materials and tensioning systems to ensure a tailored fit for specific site conditions.
The Martin® Chevron Cleaner is engineered for medium to heavy-duty applications on belt widths ranging from 450 mm up to 2400 mm (18 to 96 inches).
The system is rated for conveyor belts with a maximum cleat height of 9.5 mm (3/8 inch). The cleaner maintains efficient operation at belt speeds up to 3.8 m/s (750 fpm) and is designed for service in temperatures ranging from -34°C up to 82°C (-30°F to 180°F).
The system functions by mounting a series of torsion arms across the return side of the conveyor belt. Each arm is fitted with an elastomer blade featuring 14 half-inch (12 mm) wide fingers. As a cleat or rib passes the cleaner, the fingers and torsion arms deflect, allowing the cleaner to “step over” the obstruction without losing contact with the rest of the belt surface.
The blades are offset at a 30° angle, which creates a rippling effect across the cleats, ensuring that carryback is intercepted even in the crevices of textured belts. The system can be fitted with a Martin® Twist™ Tensioner or a Reversing Mount Spring Tensioner to maintain the optimal radial pressure required for thorough cleaning.
