Martin

HD QB1™ Cleaner
Introduction
Introduction
General
The Martin
®
HD QB1™ Cleaner combines effective removal of carryback
with a long-lasting, one-piece blade. To introduce product back into the
product flow, the Martin
®
HD QB1™ Cleaner is installed on the face of the
head pulley. On a dual-cleaner system, a Secondary Cleaner is installed
immediately following the Pre-Cleaner to remove stubborn material left on
the conveyor belt. If a Pre-Cleaner cannot be used because of space
limitations, Secondary Cleaners can be installed alone. Multiple Pre-Cleaners
and/or Secondary Cleaners may be required to clean the belt. If the material-
handling process or product could be affected by contamination from the use
of these belt cleaners, the user is responsible for taking the necessary steps to
prevent contamination. Consult Martin Engineering or a representative for
alternate belt cleaners or belt cleaner locations to use where contamination
may be an issue.
Installations
without chutework
These procedures were written for equipment that is being installed on
enclosed pulley chutework. If the pulley is not enclosed, the equipment should
be installed using the best available field resources and methods to ensure that
the critical dimensions are followed for proper installation.
Belt cleaner
inspection access
If the belt cleaner is installed on enclosed pulley chutework, at least one
Martin
®
Inspection Door should be installed. Martin
®
Inspection Doors are
available from Martin Engineering or a representative.
