BYE-BYE MATERIAL LOSS

HOW STARCLEAN® SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES SYSTEM EFFICIENCY THROUGH SPILLAGE CONTROL

Challenge

In gravel and sand plants, the properties of the conveyed material lead to caking on the belt surface. Some of the adherent material falls to the ground while it is being conveyed. This quickly leads to enormous material losses, very high cleaning costs, and premature wear of the conveyor belt and other components such as idler pulleys. If this loss is extrapolated to the quantities conveyed by all belts in a plant, this results in an extremely low overall plant efficiency.

Solution

STARCLEAN® conveyor belt cleaners gently clean the conveyor belt and remove material residues from the belt surface. The STARCLEAN® Seal and the STARCLEAN® Impact Bars form an optimized material guide and dust seal to prevent material from escaping at the transfer point. The two-part design of the Seal not only prevents material from escaping but also guides the material efficiently on the conveyor belt. Currently, 43 scrapers, 32 meters of Seal and 6 impact tables have been installed.

Advantages

  • Residue-free cleaning of the material from the belt
  • Efficient sealing and material conveyance
  • High system efficiency and economy
  • Enormous cost savings
