Diagonal Plough

Unlike conventional Veetype ploughs, ESS Diagonal Plough suits single-directional or reversing belts, where fugitive material must only be deposited on one side of the belt. 

The Bulk Materials Handling industry has been facing a persistent issue of fugitive material escaping from the carry-side of conveyor belts and ending up on the inside return strand of the belt, causing damage and wear to crucial components like Tail Pulleys, Take Pulleys, and Carry Idlers.


The ESS Diagonal Plough has been developed to effectively remove fugitive material from the inner side of the return strand of a conveyor belt to tackle this problem. The ESS Diagonal Plough is designed to remove fugitive material from the inner side of the return strand of a conveyor belt.

Features and Benefits

Versatile

The ESS Diagonal Plough, unlike conventional Veetype ploughs, is suitable for use on either single directional or reversing belts. It is also particularly useful on single direction belts where fugitive material needs to be deposited on one side of the belt only.

Safety

Safety chains are fitted to prevent damage in the event of fastener failure.

Fabrication Options

Cleaner frame and pipes can be fabricated from standard mild steel or optional stainless steel. 

Urethane Blade

The ESS Diagonal Plough features a urethane blade for long life and efficient cleaning, and can also be supplied in FRAS urethane for underground Coal and similar applications.

  • How does it work?

    The ESS Diagonal Plough 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, causing damage or wear to the belt, pulley or pulley lagging.


    The ESS Diagonal Plough is suspended from brackets attached to each side of the conveyor

    structure. The Plough blade is set at approximately 45° to the belt direction and rides on the belt

    removing material without needing adjustment. The Plough blade will self-adjust until the wear

    limits are reached, preventing any contact between the plough frame and the belt
