V plow cleaner is a device specifically designed for cleaning non working surfaces of conveyor belts, usually installed at the tail or end of the belt conveyor. Its main function is to remove dust, debris, and residual materials on the return section (non working surface) of the belt, prevent these substances from entering the next production process, and ensure the smooth operation of the entire system.
Working principle and structure
The V plow cleaner is usually composed of a scraper, scraper frame, support, and heavy hammer or spring components. The scraper is designed in a "V" or "I" shape, using the force of a heavy hammer or spring to effectively balance and achieve thorough removal of viscous materials on the conveyor belt. Its working principle is to easily remove dust particles and other small objects accumulated in this area through simple mechanical structure design, such as rotating brushes or other forms of scraping devices.
Application scenarios and effects
The V plow cleaner is mainly used in the return section of the belt conveyor, especially at the tail end of the belt conveyor. It can effectively remove debris on the return belt, prevent these debris from entering the structure below the return roller and belt, thereby protecting the equipment, extending its service life, and keeping the environment clean. Due to its simple structure, easy installation and maintenance, and low manufacturing cost, it is suitable for wide application in various types of belt conveyors.
Different types
There are various types of the V plow cleaner, including V type cleaners and straight type cleaners. The V type cleaner is a widely used type, usually installed on the non working surface of the tail pulley belt, and is called an V plow cleaner or an plow V type cleaner.
