Synthesis of combined methods of cleaning belts and under conveyor space

Abstract

Reduction of contamination of belts and sub-conveyor space by transported cargo is achieved by application of preventive means reducing adhesion of adhesives of transported cargo to the belt; cleaning of conveyor belts, which allowed to reduce the number of adhesives on the working surface of the belt and, accordingly, the volume of sludge under the conveyor; double reversal of the belt on the idle branch, reducing the total volume of sludge in the sub-conveyor space and limiting the zone of contamination of the latter to areas in the head and tail parts of the conveyor; manual cleaning of conveyor belts, which allowed to reduce the number of adhesives on the working surface of the belt and, accordingly, the volume of sludge under the conveyor.
