A family of primary conveyor belt cleaners has been engineered by bulk materials handling cleaner manufacturer Martin Engineering for the world’s fastest, most heavily-loaded conveyor belts.

The belt cleaners feature industrial-strength construction that delivers effective cleaning, minimal maintenance and long service life, even under punishing conditions.

The Martin SHD Cleaners have been proven on belts up to 305 cm wide, with speeds as high as 10 m/sec, carrying loads up to 300 000 tpd. Designed with patented ‘CARP’ technology to achieve constant angle geometry to match pulley diameter accurately across all stages of service life, the massive urethane blades deliver up to 271 cm2 of wear surface – more than seven times the wearable surface of standard cleaner designs.

With a broad range of color-coded, high-performance blade choices available, the cleaners can be specified to suit a wide variety of materials and performance requirements.

The SHD Series was developed for super heavy-duty applications, with structural steel components to prevent bending of the main frame. The extremely durable construction helps eliminate carryback, reduce emergency outages and minimize unscheduled downtime. In some applications, it has been shown to be the only design that can withstand the severe operating conditions.
