### Problem

A large steel company developed a new facility on a former dairy processing site. The conveyors were equipped with belt cleaners with segmented carbide blades from Sandwick. The [belt cleaners had not performed well](https://foundations.martin-eng.com/learningcenter/material-carryback-and-belt-cleaning). The site has had problems with carryback under the conveyor rollers causing offsets and blockages. Additionally, maintaining and servicing the belt cleaners was very difficult.

### Solution

After consulting with Martin Engineering, the plant opted to install several [Martin® QC1+™ Cleaner XHD](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/product/16698/qc1plus-cleaner-xhd) to tackle the tough jobs. Designed for rugged conditions, this sturdy cleaner makes replacing a worn blade quick and easy, simplifying service and maintenance.

### Results

One month after the installation of the new belt cleaners, the steel plant was completely satisfied and had replaced the remaining belt cleaners originally supplied on the site. Additionally, Martin has scheduled [ongoing maintenance](https://www.martin-eng.com/content/page/544/conveyor-system-specialized-ongoing-maintenance) visits to service the belt cleaners.
