CleanScrape® Cleaner Improves Operations At Coal-Fired Power Plant
A coal-fired power plant was experiencing massive amounts of carryback on the belt conveyor, which runs 24/7. Bottom ash and water requiring constant cleanup, and the wet, abrasive material caused premature component wear and presented a potential hazard of slips and falls. Standard belt cleaners lasted only days, and ceramic-reinforced models delivered just two weeks' service.
CleanScrape® Cleaner Improves Operations At Rock Quarry
A rock quarry was experiencing carryback on one of its conveyors. Leading from the quarry to the interior of the facility, the outdoor portion of the belt was exposed to extreme weather, even though it is covered. Material adhered to the return side of the belt, collected around the mainframe and gummed up rollers, requiring downtime for maintenance and raising the cost of operation.
Chute Clogging And Spillage Corrected With CleanScrape® Cleaner
A coal-fired power plant was having chute clogging and spillage issues. The existing primary and secondary cleaners allowed uneven discharge of material, which clung to chute walls and caused clogging, requiring periodic downtime for adjustment. The blade edges wore quickly, causing enough carryback and spillage to encapsulate the cleaners.
New Belt Cleaner Saves 24 Hours Per Week In Cleanup Time
An aggregate facility handles 1.5 million tons of limestone per year. After experiencing excessive carryback on their existing conveyors, they wanted to make sure to address the issue when adding a new conveyor. The plant spent 16 to 24 hours per week cleaning up. There was also excessive damage to the conveyors.
CleanScrape® Cleaner Eliminates Extensive Carryback On Conveyors Carrying Slag
A cement plant located in Western Ukraine was experiencing extensive carryback on conveyors carrying slag. Fugitive material built up on floors and encapsulated rolling components, causing excessive downtime for maintenance and cleaning. Increased operational costs for labor and replacement parts inspired managers to seek alternatives.
CleanScrape® Cleaner Eliminates Excessive Carryback on Conveyor Carrying Wood Chips
A producer of Medium Density Fiberboard and Chipboard was experiencing excessive carryback on the conveyor system transporting wood chips to the screening process. During this process the wood is damp and sticky, causing smaller particles to cling to the return side of the belt. This required extra labor to clean the area 2 hours per day, raising operating costs and affecting workplace safety.
