Figure 1:Belt Cleaner Mounting Orientation
Inspect belt cleaner mounting area for possible obstructions that could interfere
with proper mounting. Refer to following guidelines:
 Ensure cleaner does not lie in path of material unloading from conveyor
belt.
 The top side of cleaner should be no less than the 2 o'clock position.
Material could strike the back of the cleaner causing wear which will lead
to premature failure.
 The ideal installation angle is 17°–18°. Installation angles of 15°–21° are
acceptable. Higher angles are normally utilized in cleaning material that
tends to adhere to the belt, these higher angles lead to increased wear
on the blade.
