SECTION 1 - SAFETY The Compact Plus Primary Conveyor Belt Cleaner is designed to be quickly and easily serviced by appropriate personnel. If appropriate safe visual access is provided, inspection and tensioning adjustments can be carried out whilst the belt is in operation.
The Compact Plus is a conveyor belt Primary Cleaner, designed for use on smaller conveyors where space is often restricted. The Compact Plus is suitable for use on conveyor belts that range from 200 to 1200 mm wide, and where belt speed is low to moderate.
Does the belt run true, or track off to one side? Is the Head Pulley out-of-round? Consult ESS if any UNUSUAL conditions are observed in the above. These conditions may result in recommendation of a different installation position or even a different cleaner.
For conveyors that do not have an enclosed chute, fabricate suitable mounting plates each side of the conveyor, or contact ESS for assistance. Measure radially A mm (see table following) from the face of the belt. From this point draw an arc using the pulley’s centre-line as the centre point.

The tensioner can be reverse assembled, as long as it is tensioning the blades in the correct direction – see diagram below. The tensioner assembly may be located on the opposite side of the conveyor, as long as access is available for maintenance. Once mounting position is confirmed, proceed.

SECTION 5 - OPERATOR TRAINING The decision to purchase ESS cleaning equipment has put within easy reach the reality of a clean plant. The next step is the correct training of personnel to maintain and service the equipment or contract ESS to maintain the cleaners so that they remain at optimum efficiency.
Thoroughly assess the job and jobsite before proceeding. Ensure that personnel and equipment are protected from injury or damage during maintenance. ESS recommends that a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) be conducted before proceeding with any installation or service work to identify and control hazards.
