Carryback from conveyor belts is an everyday occurrence, resulting in reduced operation efficiency, reduced safety, increased maintenance costs and increased environmental contamination.
Planned maintenance shutdowns of conveyor belts are necessary to achieve effective and continual bulk handling operations. However, while conveyor areas are down production time is lost, so it is important to safely and quickly perform blade change outs to assure optimum cleaning efficiency.

ESS offers a wide variety of blade materials and a range of different widths to suit many various purposes.

Features and Benefits
Blade Types
Modular blade design provides increased wear life and ability to change blade order or material. Constant Angle, Radial Pressure (CARP) blade profile assures that there is a consistent even blade to belt contact throughout the life of the blade. This provides effective and protective cleaning. Variety of urethane types allow blades to conform to the belt profile and conditions. The Patented “Keysafe” feature allows blade removable from outside the chute blade by blade. This eliminates the risk potential from both manual handling and confines space issues while servicing the cleaners. The reduced time needed to perform maintenance means that valuable downtime can be minimised. Urethane blade material protects the belt surface and splices from damage and is designed to fold back and pull through rather than damage the conveyor belts surface or splices if the belt reverses or experiences rollback.
The risk of conveyor belt damage or replacement and subsequent downtime to repair or replace is effectively reduced.
Mainframe
The mainframe is available in either mild steel or stainless steel constructions; this means that corrosive environments can be catered for. The mainframe can be customised to suit different sized stringer lengths.
Tensioning Devices
There are several typed of tensioning device available to maintain the blade to belt pressure throughout the life of the blade. This provides optimal cleaning performance while preserving blade wear rates removing material that would otherwise pass between the belt and the blade surface.
