COVERS & CLEANERS

Item#01

Other components: belt cleaners and covers
In the project design of a belt conveyor, after having defined the components of primary importance, it is important to consider other accessories such as belt cleaners and covers for the conveyor.

Covers
The necessity to protect belt conveyors may arise from the weather, from the volatile characteristics of the conveyed material, or from the type of works plant, and also from European norms that require the covering of the total length of a belt conveyor. 
Rulmeca covers do not require maintenance and are very easy to install and move around. There are two styles of covers that are proposed : those in preformed PVC and those in corrugated galvanised sheet steel.

Belt cleaners
The use of cleaning equipment has become an indispensable requirement to assure general plant efficiency and to reduce the periods of service needed for maintenance.
There has been a notable development of this equipment in recent time for differing reasons: prolonging the life of the conveyor; limiting the deterioration of the belt, improving the energy efficiency of the installation, reducing loss of material thereby increasing the load capacity, eliminating a major cause of wear on the return rollers.
