# Industrial Specification: Belt Cleaner

## 1. Technical Definition
A device that removes residual material from conveyor belts to prevent carryback and maintain belt cleanliness.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-1.5 MPa contact pressure, 0.5-3.0 m/s belt speed**. Failure boundary: **Contact pressure &lt;0.05 MPa (ineffective cleaning) or &gt;2.0 MPa (excessive wear), belt speed &gt;4.0 m/s (material ejection)**, Mechanism: **Abrasive wear exceeding material hardness (Blade: 60-65 HRC, Belt: 18-22 HRC) causes blade degradation; hydrodynamic lift at high speeds reduces contact efficiency**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| F | Total Tractive Resistance | Engineering Constant |
| v | Belt Speed | Engineering Constant |
| \eta | Efficiency | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Material hardness mismatch (abrasive material &gt;60 HRC vs blade 60-65 HRC) | 8 | Blade edge rounding &gt;2.0 mm radius, cleaning efficiency drop below 85% | Tungsten carbide blade inserts (85-92 HRC) with sacrificial wear indicators |
| Belt tracking deviation &gt;25 mm from centerline | 8 | Asymmetric blade wear &gt;3:1 ratio, localized belt cover damage &gt;1.5 mm depth | Pivoting mounting system with ±30° angular compensation and laser alignment sensors |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this belt cleaner and why?
**A**: Our belt cleaner uses polyurethane for flexible cleaning action, tungsten carbide for extreme abrasion resistance, and steel for structural durability. This combination ensures effective material removal while withstanding harsh industrial environments.

### Q: How does this belt cleaner prevent conveyor belt damage?
**A**: The tensioning system maintains optimal pressure on the cleaning blade, ensuring thorough cleaning without excessive force that could damage the belt surface. Proper installation prevents edge damage and extends both cleaner and belt lifespan.

### Q: What maintenance is required for this belt cleaning system?
**A**: Regular inspection of the cleaning blade for wear, checking tensioning system alignment, and ensuring mounting brackets remain secure. Replacement intervals depend on material abrasiveness but typically range from 6-24 months for blades.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 15236-1:2016 - STEEL CORD CONVEYOR BELTS
- ANSI/CEMA 576-2013 - CONVEYOR BELT CLEANERS
- DIN 22109-1:2018 - CONVEYOR BELTS WITH TEXTILE PLIES FOR BULK GOODS
