Martin Belt Cleaners Eliminate Carryback

Siam City Cement in Saraburi, Thailand was having trouble with excessive carryback and spillage along the length of their conveyor path. This posed a potential workplace hazard and required workers to be assigned for regular cleanup. Rolling components also needed frequent replacement, which led to expensive downtime and increased the cost of operation.

Cement Plant Gets Extensive Conveyor System Overhaul

Like most cement manufacturing sites, GCC Dakotah employs an extensive conveyor system to handle raw materials and move finished product. GCC determined that significant upgrades could be made on conveyor transfer points to reduce spillage and dust emissions in the South Dakota facility. The upgrade included six transfer points on four conveyors.

Martin^® Belt Cleaners Minimize Downtime For Cleanup

PT Antam Mining of Indonesia had inadequate belt cleaners causing belt damage, spillage and carryback on a reversing belt within the mine. The previous equipment did not keep a seal across the belt profile. Incomplete cleaning caused excessive carryback and spillage along the return belt path, increasing the need for cleanup.

Primary And Secondary Belt Cleaners Reduce Excessive Spillage

A cement factory uses belt conveyors to transfer limestone and clay. The factory workers had to clean up the excessive spillage daily on the return belt. The labor intensity got very high when the spillage mixed with water on rainy days. The factory was replacing the blades frequently at a great expense as well as creating additional exiting safety hazards.

Martin^® Belt Cleaners Save Client Over $55,000 Per Year

An aluminum recycling plant was unhappy with the performance of a competitor’s belt cleaners, and thought replacement blades were too costly. As a result of poor cleaning performance, plant employees were required to vacuum fugitive material from the conveyor pits two to three times per week, at a cost of $1,500 to $2,500 per vacuuming.

Belt Cleaners Improve Safety and Efficiency At Cement Plant

A cement plant was having trouble conveying gravel, gypsum, slag and other materials on the main conveyors feeding the clinker. Previously, they used less expensive brush-type cleaners, which were ineffective. They had to stop once a day for manual cleaning, and there was significant spillage, creating dust and security risks.

Belt Cleaner Minimizes Need For Difficult Manual Cleaning

This cement plant produces one million tons per year. The plant uses a total of nine weigh feeders to move the raw materials—limestone, sand, shale and iron ore—from hoppers to the belt that conveys the material to the roller mill to be ground for kiln feed. To contain the cargo, these feeders use corrugated sidewall belts. Given their wall height, these belts are difficult to clean.

Inadequate Belt Cleaners Replaced With Martin^® Products

At a cement plant in Iowa, a 42-inch (1067 mm) wide belt carries material to the stockpile from the quarry’s primary crusher. But poor performance by the conveyor’s homemade “slab” belt cleaner left piles of carryback under the conveyor, interfering with its ability to move to the stockpile, while shortening component life.

Client Tests Martin Belt Cleaners In Side-By-Side Comparison

At an agglomeration plant in Peru, plant management wished to compare the performance of competitive belt cleaning systems. The plant operates parallel (redundant) conveyor systems that carry approximately the same material load on the same operating schedule. Installing competing belt cleaners on the side-by-side conveyors allowed the plant to compare belt cleaning results.
