ABSTRACT:
The conveyor belt cleaner serves as a mechanical cleaner for an endless conveyor belt entrained about a pair of pulleys and includes a vertically movable support adapted to be mounted on the frame of the conveyor transversely of the belt, with the support carrying a plurality of independently operable wiper blade assemblies for removing from the conveyor belt abrasive and other objectionable materials. A pair of manually operable jack screws are interposed between the conveyor frame and the support and which are effective upon rotation thereof to vertically move the support and wiper blade assemblies relative to the conveyor belt thus pressurizing the wiper blades of the assemblies against the belt. Each wiper blade assembly is independently mounted on the support by a mounting means including a spring interposed between the support and the corresponding wiper blade assembly for biasing the blade towards the belt. Adjustment means are provided for varying the biasing force or the effectiveness of the spring to insure proper pressure contact between the blade and the belt. If required, each wiper blade assembly may be adjusted independently of the others through the adjustment means associated with the spring of each wiper blade assembly.
