Motorised belt cleaner
The motorised belt cleaner is a complete brushing unit based on a motorized cylindrical brush.
The belt cleaner is one of Sacema’s most versatile and demanded products, as it is a motorization of a cylindrical brush to complete a brushing unit that is easy to integrate and install in the industrial process.
Initially, it is a product designed and conceived for cleaning conveyor belts, as it is installed on their return. If complemented with traditional scrapers, it facilitates the cleaning and evacuation of excess material that would otherwise adhere to the belt.
It is especially suitable for wet materials that tend to adhere easily to the rubber of conveyor belts, and the belt cleaner’s brush scrapes the surface to dislodge and clean it.
Due to its versatility, with an appropriate brush mounted, the belt cleaner is also used for all kinds of applications in industrial processes, including the food industry, for various tasks where a cylindrical technical brush is to be integrated: piece movements, surface cleaning, fluid application, etc.
Additionally, the food industry version is commonly manufactured, where the main components are made of stainless steel, the brush complies with food standards, and it is up to the customer whether the gear motor remains standard, is encapsulated, or the certified versions for the food industry are chosen.
At Sacema, we have the material means, technological tools, and skilled human resources to develop the turnkey project for the motorized belt cleaner, design its customization, as well as manufacture, install, and commission it with the necessary instrumentation.
If you have any questions about this or any other brush, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The belt cleaner is a motorized brushing unit of an industrial cylindrical brush composed of the following components:
- Support plates made of powder-coated carbon steel 5 mm thick.
- Solid shafts from 25 mm chrome bar.
- 25 mm UCFL bearings.
- M20 height positioning spindles.
- 1 HP gear motor that rotates at approximately 285 rpm.
- An electrical box that incorporates a speed controller that drives the motor and adjusts the rotation speed to the desired process.
Due to the needs arising from users of the belt cleaners and the diversity of applications, the following have been developed:
- Supports
Pillars are available to support the belt cleaner on the floor, designed for those belts that are at floor level. In this way, the cleaner is not modified or supported on the belt, but rather a small pillar is added on each side of the belt.
Supports are also available to fix the cleaner to a beam or structural element adjacent to the belt.
- Aspiration
It is a need that arises after the belt cleaner’s commissioning, where its installation generates dirt or dust, which is material and dirt that was adhered to the belt, that the brush removes from the surface, and it is necessary to add dust aspiration.
Hoods or covers are integrated to prevent dust diffusion, and aspiration hoses are connected to them for dust capture.
Depending on the amount of dust generated, the required aspiration flow is calculated, and the filter size and necessary vacuum power are dimensioned to avoid clogging and ensure sufficient aspiration capacity while working.
- Height Position Motorization
When performing a cleaning or surface treatment in an industrial process with significant variation in piece height, it is essential to include height automation for the brushing unit’s working brush.
For this, it is necessary to replace the supports with a ball screw system, with independent motorization, which, together with a position encoder and a control PLC, indicates the appropriate working position.
Additionally, the working position can be adjusted by programming according to the wear of the brush filaments.
