ABSTRACT:
A conveyor belt cleaning assembly (10) including at least one generally transversely extending cleaning member (20), engaging, in an operative position, a conveyor belt (14) surface to be cleaned. The cleaning member (20) is characterized in that over at least a short portion of its length, a lead-in surface is provided on its leading end (20A), such that it makes an acute angle with the belt. The belt cleaning member (20) is constructed of an abrasion resistant material and is flexible. In one embodiment, the flexible belt cleaning device (20) is resiliently biased in frictional engagement with the curved surface of the conveyor belt by a tension spring (30). In other embodiments, yieldable tension is developed by a counterweight (34) and alternatively, by a compression spring assembly (48).
