CleanScrape® Primary Cleaner

Unique, diagonally-mounted belt cleaning system that requires minimal installation space. Equipped with high-durability tungsten carbide tips, it applies minimal pressure to the belt surface, making it the most versatile and belt-friendly primary cleaner on the market.

SPACE-SAVING DESIGN

Requires significantly less room for installation than traditional primary cleaners, as it is installed at an angle across the discharge pulley.

HIGH-DURABILITY TIPS

Utilises long-lasting tungsten carbide tips that provide superior cleaning life and maintain efficiency in the toughest conditions.

BELT AND SPLICE SAFE

Engineered to apply minimal pressure, ensuring it is safe for use on mechanical splices and various belt types without risking damage.

Product Overview

The Martin® CleanScrape® Primary Cleaner represents a fundamental shift in belt cleaning technology. Unlike standard cleaners that sit perpendicular to the belt, this system is installed diagonally across the face of the discharge pulley. This orientation, combined with its unique carbide-tipped cleaning matrix, allows it to remove carryback with exceptionally low blade-to-belt pressure.

This low-pressure approach significantly reduces the risk of belt wear and makes the system fully compatible with reversing belts and mechanical splices. It is designed to withstand corrosive environments and is certified for use in underground applications, providing a robust solution for a wide range of industrial bulk handling needs. Its compact footprint makes it the ideal choice for retrofitting into chutes with restricted internal clearance where traditional pre-cleaners simply cannot fit.

Applications

The Martin® CleanScrape® Primary Cleaner is specifically engineered for high-performance discharge pulleys in demanding mining and industrial settings, including underground and corrosive environments.

This versatile system is designed to operate reliably in service temperatures ranging from -34°C to 82°C and remains fully functional during reversing cycles or roll-back conditions. It provides high-efficiency cleaning for belt widths up to 2400 mm and is rated for extreme belt speeds of up to 7.5 m/s on pulley diameters exceeding 1200 mm.

How the CleanScrape™ Primary Cleaner Works

The CleanScrape® system operates by tensioning a flexible scraper chain diagonally across the discharge pulley at a specific angle. As the belt passes over the pulley, the tungsten carbide tips integrated into the scraper matrix maintain light but consistent contact with the belt surface.

This diagonal orientation allows the cleaner to “slice” through carryback material rather than simply scraping it, which effectively diverts debris into the discharge stream with minimal friction. Because the system applies significantly less pressure than traditional cleaners, it can safely remain in contact with the belt during reversing cycles or roll-back events without the need for retraction.

The tensioning system automatically compensates for tip wear, ensuring the cleaner remains effective throughout its entire service life with very little manual intervention.

Operational Benefits

  • Reversing Belt Compatible

    Remains in constant contact with the belt during reversing or roll-back without risk of damage.

  • Underground Approved

    Certified and safe for use in underground mining applications.

  • Corrosion Resistant

    Materials and construction are specifically selected to withstand highly corrosive industrial conditions.

  • Mechanical Splice Friendly

    Low-pressure cleaning matrix glides over mechanical splices safely, preventing snagging or premature blade wear.

FAQs

Yes, the system is fully compatible with reversing belts and roll-back conditions, as its low-pressure diagonal design does not require retraction during reverse travel.

Absolutely. Because it applies minimal pressure to the belt, it is engineered to be safe for use with mechanical splices, providing versatile cleaning without damaging the belt surface.

The CleanScrape® is specifically designed for restricted areas and requires minimal space compared to traditional primary cleaners due to its diagonal mounting across the discharge pulley.

The system is high-performance rated and can effectively clean belts travelling at speeds up to 7.5 m/s.
