Martin Engineering Secondary Cleaners provide the final precision cleaning to remove the carryback that has passed the pre-cleaners.

Depending on material and conditions, some applications may require more than one secondary cleaner, or even the installation of tertiary cleaning systems to remove the remaining fines and water from the belt.

One or more secondary cleaners should be installed at the point where the conveyor belt is leaving the head pulley. If that point is inaccessible, the cleaner(s) should be moved further along the conveyor return, to a point where the belt is firmly supported against a roller to allow the application of firm cleaning pressure.

For recommendations for a specific application, contact a Martin Engineering representative.
