List of Tables
Introduction
General The MARTIN® QC™ #1 Belt Cleaner combines effective removal of
carryback with “quick-change” one-pin replacement of a long-lasting, one-
piece blade. To introduce product back into the product flow, the MARTIN®
QC™ #1 Belt Cleaner is installed on the face of the head pulley. On a dual-
cleaner system, the 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, the Secondary Cleaner is
installed alone. 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 These procedures were written for equipment that is being installed on
without chutework 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.
The MARTIN® Hanger Mount Assembly, P/N 27382, can be used for
installations without chutework.
Belt cleaner If the belt cleaner is installed on enclosed pulley chutework, a MARTIN®
inspection access CYA™ Inspection Door should be installed. MARTIN® CYA™ Inspection
Doors are available from Martin Engineering or a representative. See “Part
Numbers” for a list of MARTIN® CYA™ Inspection Doors and part numbers.
Belt cleaner blades MARTIN® QC™ #1 Standard and Heavy-Duty Belt Cleaner Blades are
available in four different materials (see Table I for specifications). Only
MARTIN® QC™ #1 Standard (orange) Belt Cleaner Blades are made of
materials that meet Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
requirements under “Interim Fire and Toxicity Criteria for Products Taken
Into Underground Mines,” March 22, 1977 (MSHA acceptance number
MSHA-IC-95/1, MSHA IC-95/7).
Safety All safety rules defined in the above documents, and all owner/employer
safety rules, must be strictly followed when working on the belt cleaner.
Materials required Only standard hand tools are required to install and service this equipment.
