When the carryback has been scraped off, soil and residues get stuck in every notch and groove of the belt, on the external surface as well as the internal. Bacteria will quickly build up and getting rid of it manually is a major challenge. Manually operated cleaning of conveyor belts is a time-consuming and difficult task, and what appears to be a clean belt rarely is.
CHENGGANG are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
We have created an automated cleaning system specifically aimed at conveyor belt cleaning and sanitation in the food and beverage industry. A controller operates the pre-programmed cleaning sequences and ensures effective and systematic cleaning with the same cleaning result every time.
Nozzle bars are placed in strategic places internally and externally on the conveyor to ensure that every inch of the belt is cleaned and sanitised to prevent microbial growth. The system is modular and can be combined to match the requirements of all conveyors.
The Norwegian seafood company Lerøy has integrated automated conveyor belt cleaning in their production to optimize their cleaning processes.
300 tonnes of salmon are processed here every day, and during the peak season production only stops for 2.5 hours in a 24-hour period.
This provided a great challenge for the cleaning team, which used a purely manual system and therefore had difficulty in carrying out the task within the limited time frame. The solution was to automate part of the cleaning and set up a central System Cleaners installation.
Our automated cleaning systems for conveyor belt cleaning consist of standard products combined to match the requirements you have for optimizing the cleaning and sanitation processes in your food or beverage processing plant.
The design is hygienic and intuitive, and they are made from high quality materials. By applying stainless steel for the vast majority of the components, we ensure that our products are solid and with a long lifespan.
The conveyor belt is the workhorse of the load zone. It serves production goals with great endurance and resilience in moving tons of bulk material nonstop over long distances for extended periods.
As it continues performing within often demanding conditions, the conveyor belt will inevitably develop and encounter obstacles that can affect it as well as other system parts and areas.
To get greater service and life from the conveyor belt, operators need to be vigilant about keeping it clean. In particular, they must prevent carryback, the fugitive material that sticks to the belt beyond the discharge point and remains on the bottom side of the belt, rollers, or pulleys.
In addition to creating multiple health and safety risks, carryback can form a crown or raised portion on a pulley, making the belt misalign. As the mistracked belt keeps drifting, it will induce even more-serious spillage and dust. This will further increase hazards while demanding more company resources for housekeeping and maintenance.
Operators can avoid the problems of material build-up with a well-engineered conveyor belt cleaning system.

Different operations face different carryback challenges according to their applications. Steel, gold, aggregate, and fertilizer, to name but a few, will often require their own belt cleaning strategies.
Whatever the bulk material might be, well-engineered conveyor belt cleaners keep the belt as clean as possible by removing excess material that builds on and clings to it. An optimal conveyor belt cleaning system will usually include two conveyor belt scrapers: a primary belt cleaner and a secondary belt cleaner.
BEP1 – Our best selling primary belt cleaner
Mounted to the head pulley below the material flow, the primary belt cleaner – also referred to as a pre-cleaner – scrapes excess material from the conveyor belt. In particular, it removes the larger pieces that constitute two-thirds of initial carryback.
Ideally, the primary belt cleaner will be made of a durable material such as urethane, which will act similarly to a metal blade–type scraper without metal’s risk of damage to the belt. The belt cleaner should offer adaptable mounting with a modular, compact design as well. Its profile will provide a varying attack angle to reduce blade-edge bull-nosing. A torsion tensioner also will self-adjust to maintain steady cleaning as the blade wears.
BES1 – Our best selling secondary belt cleaner
Located right past where the belt leaves the head pulley and anywhere else down the belt line, secondary belt cleaners scrape whatever material remains on the belt beyond the head pulley, especially fines.
Like the primary belt cleaner, the secondary blade can be made of material such as tungsten carbide or rubber. To avoid build-up, the correct secondary cleaner selection will depend on the conveyor belt’s characteristics.
With a secondary belt cleaner installed, the conveyor belt scrapers can achieve a cleaning efficiency of greater than 90%. By eliminating carryback and keeping belts clean, high-performing belt cleaners make conveyor systems both safer and more productive.
Belt cleaner blades (including replacement blades) can be customized to a bulk material handling system’s distinctive variables, including:
An effective conveyor belt cleaner system might also include specialty cleaners such as:
