PROBLEM
The drag chain conveyor under a slow-moving 60-inch (1524 mm) feed conveyor was inoperable. The Martin Engineering EPC Team was called in to engineer the existing system’s tear-out and design a new dribble chute with the installation of Martin® Belt Cleaners.
SOLUTION
Martin Engineering prepared and sent detailed drawings with a step-by-step procedure for the removal of the drag chain conveyor. Following removal and the construction of a new dribble chute by a local contractor, Martin Engineering's regional Martin® Service Technician installed a new belt cleaner system composed of a Martin® QC1+™ Cleaner XHD, a secondary belt cleaner, and inspection doors.
RESULTS
The new belt cleaning system works in combination with the new dribble chute to effectively remove carryback and return material to the main material stream.
