HD RBC™ Return Belt Cleaning

Polyurethane support straps are lightly pre-tensioned to keep the cleaner in place. This eliminates chatter and allows the cleaner to move with the belt.

For years, the Bulk Materials Handling industry has been plagued by the problem of fugitive material escaping from the carry-side of conveyor belts and finding its way onto the inside return strand of the belt. This results in damage and wear to vital components such as Tail Pulleys, Take up Pulleys and Carry Idlers. The return of the Conveyor Belt now has a genuine Belt Cleaner. The ESS HD RBC™ is a return belt cleaner designed to remove fugitive material from the inner side of the return strand of a conveyor belt.

Features and Benefits

No Belt Damage


The HD RBC™ Return Belt Cleaner utilises Polyurethane support straps, lightly pre-tensioned, to hold the cleaner against the belt. Chatter is eliminated, as the cleaner floats and responds to every belt movement.

Efficient Cleaning


The ESS HD RBC™ features a urethane blade for long-life and efficient cleaning. Interlocking left and right blade wings mean easy blade replacement. The shovelnose cone, common to all belt widths ensures unsurpassed belt cleaning efficiency.

Filter Arrangement


The Filter Arrangement allows for flushing of the filter at the installation location, for easy cleaning.

Fabrication Options


Cleaner frame and pipes can be fabricated from standard mild steel or optional fully stainless steel. The urethane type can be changed to suit the conditions.

Safety


The Laser cut body means that weld failure is eliminated. The Safety chain is used for total protection of the conveyor system.

Heavy-duty Unit


The HD RBC™ is a heavy duty unit (ESS HD RBC™). This unit has similar design features as the RBC™ but is more robust in all aspects. It is suitable for the biggest and fastest conveyor belt systems in operation today. 

  • How does it work?

    The HD RBC™ is normally located before the tail pulley; gravity take up; mid-drive unit or any other position where fugitive material can become trapped between the belt and pulley, thus, causing damage or wear to the belt, pulley or pulley lagging. 


    The HD RBC™ is held lightly against the belt surface and ‘floats’ with the belt movement, eliminating the ‘chatter’ commonly associated with gravity-type Vee Ploughs. 


    The main feature of the ESS HD RBC™ is the unique urethane torsion strap suspension. This suspension arrangement allows pre-tensioning of the HD RBC™ onto the belt by simply rotating the support pipes. By maintaining constant belt contact, the rugged polyurethane blade, with its unique shovelnose, can effectively remove even very fine material and water from the belt surface.
