General NOTE Before starting work on the cleaner or the conveyor, these operating instructions must be read and understood completely! 1.1 About these operating instructions These operating instructions apply solely for cleaners and are intended for those persons who install cleaners, commission them, and monitor their usage. The operating instructions must be kept for the lifetime of the cleaners and must be made available in an orderly condition to all persons entrusted with work with and on the cleaners.
1.2 General information on cleaners Cleaners are used in the discharge area of the belt conveyor to remove adhering bulk material from conveyor belts. The cleaning result is increased by using multiple cleaners. Pre-cleaners are installed at the head pulley, below the discharge parabola of the bulk material.
1.4 Use in hazardous areas according to the ATEX directive The standard version of the cleaner is NOT suitable for use in hazardous areas. Martin Engineering offers special product variants that are suitable for use in ATEX zones 22 and 21 under certain circumstances. These product variants...
Personnel qualification Only authorised and qualified personnel may be entrusted with work with and on the conveyors and cleaners. Persons are considered qualified if they have the qualification of a skilled worker and meet all the following requirements: • completed professional training or at least 5 years of professional experience in the field, •...
1.6 Technical data Operating parameter Size S 400 … 1000 mm Belt widths: 300 … 550 mm Pulley diameter: 4 m/s for conveyor belts with mechanical splices Belt speed: 6 m/s for conveyor belts with vulcanised splices -25 … +80°C Temperature range: Reversing operation: Can remain in use, but no cleaning function...
Safety 2.1 General safety instructions DANGER Entanglement in conveyor belt Clothing or body parts can become entangled in the conveyor and cause serious or fatal injuries. Tensions may be released in the conveyor belt and cause movement of the bulk material without prior detection.
2.2 Personal protective equipment Persons carrying out work on cleaners must wear suitable personal protective equipment. Minimum requirements: Symbol Meaning Wear head and eye protection. Wear at least ankle-high foot protection. Use gloves. Use fall protection. 2.3 Safety markings on the system The safety markings on the cleaners must be always kept in good condition and clearly visible.

Installations with Wide Chute Walls 150 mm ( 6 in.) Maximum 150 mm ( 6 in.) Maximum Figure 4: Installations with Wide Chute Walls NOTE The maximum distance between chute wall and edge of blade is 150 mm (6 in.). Excess free cable causes too much vibration resulting in damage to cleaner and components.
Installing Belt Cleaner & Tensioner DANGER Entanglement in conveyor belt Clothing or body parts can become entangled in the conveyor and cause serious or fatal injuries. Tensions may be released in the conveyor belt and cause movement of the bulk material without prior detection.
Figure 5: Belt Cleaner Location & Chute Wall Cutouts 4.1 Locating belt cleaner On both sides of chute, find pulley center point (A). Measure radius of head pulley including lagging and belt thickness (B). On the far side of chute, start from center point (A), measure the total distance calculated in step 2 ( B + 13 mm [1/2 in.]), and draw an arc on chute wall.
Page 20
On the far side of chute: a) If bolting fixed point bracket to chute wall, do the following: (1) Position fixed point bracket on far side chute wall as shown in Figure 5. Align bolt hole on bracket with head pulley center line. (2) Mark bracket hole locations.

4.2 Installing tensioner mount plate IMPORTANT Tensioners used with CleanScrape® Small Cleaners can be installed on either the inside or the outside of the chute wall. Tensioners are shipped with the inside mounting plate (E) installed. If the application requires tensioners to be mounted on the outside of the chute wall, the outside mounting plate (C) must be used.
Page 23
WARNING The correct mounting plate must be used or damage to cleaner will result. Using the incorrect mounting plate results in cable being cut by roller and ultimately cleaner failure. Figure 9: Installing Tensioner on Outside Chute Wall (Standard Installation) M4082E ZA 2022-07 CSP1 S...
4.3 Installing tensioner on outside chute wall 1. For installations on the outside of the chute wall: a) Mark chute wall cutouts as shown in Figure 5. b) Make sure centerline of tensioner intersects axis of pulley. c) Cut holes in chute wall. Remove burrs and sharp edges. d) Install outside mounting plate on tensioner.

4.4 Installing tensioner on inside chute wall 1. For installations on the inside of the chute wall: a) Make sure centerline of tensioner intersects axis of pulley. b) Position tensioner in desired location free from obstructions as shown in Figure 9. c) Mark location of tensioner mounting plate.
Figure 11: Multi-Functional Tensioner 4.5 Installing tensioner mount plate IMPORTANT ® When the multi-functional tensioner is used with CleanScrape Small Cleaners, tensioner must be installed on the inside of the chute wall. Tensioners are shipped with the inside mounting plate (C) installed.

4.6 Installing tensioner on inside chute wall 1. For installations on the inside of the chute wall: a) Mark chute wall as shown in Figure 5. b) The inside mounting plate is factory installed on the tensioner. NOTE Tensioner can be rotated up to 180 degrees. Tensioner may be mounted with cables facing downward, but this is not the preferred position as it can allow material to build up inside the spring caps and around the springs.
Figure 13: Measure Cleaner Angle 4.7 Tensioning cleaner 1. Measure angle of cleaner. 2. Determine tension required according to tensioning chart. 3. Tighten tensioners. Install and tighten jam nut against tensioning nut on each tensioner. 4. Make sure outer two elements on each side are away from belt. Belt Width Upper Rope Lower Rope...
