PRIMARY BELT CLEANER
Tecnipak’s primary belt cleaner is designed to remove the thick layer of carry back material that remains stuck to the conveyor belt after its discharge. This is the sturdiest and toughest primary belt cleaner available, developed after years of experience in the harshest operational conditions in the Chilean mining industry. The cleaning blade is made out of a polyurethane formulation with the best combination of wear, tear, and corrosion resistance.
PROPIETARY PROFILE
Retains cleaning quality throughout the whole life of the blade.
BLADE REPLACEMENT NOTCH
Allows operators to determine at a glance if the blade needs replacement.
ONE-PIECE CLEANING BLADE
Prevents trapping of debris between segments, avoiding any compromise of the belt cover.
STAINLESS STEEL AND BRONZE TENSIONING MECHANISM
Allows for easy and comprehensive adjustment; never gets stuck nor corrodes, and does not require lubrication.
HIDDEN TENSIONER
Placed inside the frame, which protects it from the environment.
STAINLESS STEEL FRAME
Three-, four-, or five-inch square profiles available according to belt size, tonnage, and speed.
• Toughest cleaner available. The frame is made from a three-, four-, or five-inch stainless steel square profile with thicknesses from 1/4“ to 3/8”. Tecnipak guarantees that it will withstand even the most aggressive mine duty while delivering excellent cleaning performance.
• Single-side tension adjustment. The tensioner relies on a simple, easy-to-understand mechanism that is adjusted from just one side, reducing the time needed for cleaner setup.Built entirely in stainless steel and bronze, the mechanism doesn’t get stuck, corrode, or need lubrication.
• Installation closer to the pulley. Tecnipak’s proprietary blade profile allows for an installation closer to the head pulley, reducing the risk for the cleaner to flip over when the cleaning blade is wearing out.
• Wear-, tear-, and acid-resistant polyurethane. The formulation for our 83 Shore A hardness polyurethane blade offers the best compromise between wear, tear, and corrosion resistance. Tecnipak can also supply different formulations for specific conditions.
• All-around reliability. Every part has been designed and developed to perform with minimal maintenance and a wide tolerance to changes in the working conditions.

FAQs
Which blade length should I choose? The blade width normally ranges from 75% to 80% of the belt width. On occasions, a larger or smaller size should be used, matching the width of the ore path on the belt cover. A blade that is too small will let ore pass through the sides. A blade that is too large will wear only in the midsection and not on its edges.
As the blade wears out my belt cleaner flips over. What is the problem? The cleaner is installed too far away from the pulley. It is necessary to check the positioning, relocate and reinstall.
The cleaning blade lasts less than 15 days. What can I do? Contact Tecnipak. It is likely that you are facing a special condition where the ore does not fly off the belt when it reaches the head pulley, but rather sticks to the belt. In this particular case it might be necessary to install a Tecnipak precleaner above the primary cleaner.
