Product Overview

ZOOMRY Belt Cleaning System – Water-Enhanced Multi-Scraper with Spray Bars is a comprehensive cleaning solution engineered for belt conveyor head sections. It effectively removes stubborn carryback — particularly from sticky or high-moisture materials — through a combination of water application and mechanical scraping. Suitable for mining, ports, power plants, and cement operations, it integrates seamlessly with Belt Cleaner systems at the head pulley.

The system is housed in a rugged steel enclosure, integrating multiple urethane scrapers, water spray bars, and a built-in hopper into a single, space-saving unit. This design replaces the traditional arrangement of multiple scattered cleaners with one centralized, easy-to-maintain system — reducing installation time and simplifying ongoing maintenance.

System Structure

• Multi-Blade Scraper Assembly: Several urethane scraper blades mounted inside the housing work in sequence to remove softened material from the belt surface. Tungsten carbide and stainless steel blade options available for abrasive or corrosive applications.
• Water Spray System: Strategically positioned spray bars apply water to the belt surface before the scrapers. The water penetrates and softens the carryback, making it easier for the scrapers to remove without excessive wear.
• Sealed Housing: The powder-coated steel or optional stainless steel housing contains dust and spray, preventing contamination of the surrounding area and improving plant cleanliness.
• Integrated Hopper: A funnel-shaped collection hopper at the bottom gathers all removed material and water, directing it to a discharge point for easy disposal or return to the process.
• Inspection Doors: Multiple access doors allow for quick visual inspection, scraper replacement, and routine maintenance without dismantling the housing.

Key Advantages

• Superior cleaning efficiency: The combination of water softening and multi-stage scraping removes up to 99% of carryback — significantly reducing belt wear, material loss, and carryback buildup on return idlers and Conveyor Pulleys.
• Integrated design, single installation: Replaces multiple scattered cleaners with one central unit — saving installation time and space.
• Centralized maintenance: All components are accessible through one housing, reducing maintenance time and labor costs.
• Dust suppression: The water spray and enclosed design help contain dust at the head section, improving workplace air quality.
• Protects downstream equipment: Minimizes carryback that would otherwise accumulate on return idlers, pulleys, and the conveyor structure — reducing unplanned maintenance and extending component life.

Integrated Belt Cleaning System vs. Traditional Scattered Cleaners

Comparison	Traditional Scattered Cleaners	ZOOMRY Integrated System
Number of units	2-3 separate cleaners	1 integrated unit
Installation points	Multiple locations	Single location
Maintenance access	Multiple scattered access points	Centralized through one housing
Water spray integration	Not integrated or separately added	Fully integrated spray system
Collection hopper	Requires separate chute	Built-in, ready to connect
Dust containment	Limited	Enclosed housing contains dust

Applications

• Mining & Quarries: Ideal for coal, ore, and aggregate conveyors where carryback is heavy and abrasive. Works alongside primary belt cleaners for maximum material removal.
• Ports & Terminals: Handles high-humidity, saltwater-exposed environments — stainless steel option recommended for corrosion resistance.
• Power Plants: Effective for coal conveyors where dust control is a priority and carryback can create fire hazards.
• Cement Plants: Suitable for sticky materials such as clinker and limestone — reduces buildup on conveyor rollers.
• Chemical & Fertilizer Plants: For corrosive or sticky materials requiring thorough cleaning — compatible with fertilizer handling environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the water spray system work?

Water is applied through spray bars positioned directly before the scraper blades. The water penetrates and softens the carryback material, reducing its adhesion to the belt and making it easier to scrape off without increasing blade wear. This is particularly effective for sticky materials like clay, wet coal, and mineral concentrates.

What belt widths and speeds can this system handle?

The system is available for belt widths from 400 mm to 2,200 mm and can handle belt speeds up to 3.8 m/s. Custom configurations for larger widths or higher speeds are available upon request. For reference, our primary belt cleaners cover similar belt width ranges for complementary installation.

How is carryback collected in an integrated belt cleaning system?

The system features a built-in funnel-type hopper at the bottom of the housing. All scraped material and spray water are collected and directed to a single discharge outlet, which can be connected to your existing chute or conveyor system — eliminating manual cleanup around the head pulley area.

How often do the scraper blades need to be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on material type, belt speed, and operating hours. Under typical conditions, urethane blades last 6-12 months. Tungsten carbide blades are available for highly abrasive materials and can last 18-24 months. The housing includes inspection doors for quick visual wear checks without dismantling.

What maintenance does this system require?

Routine maintenance includes periodic inspection of scraper blades for wear, checking spray nozzles for clogging, and cleaning the collection hopper. All maintenance is accessible through the housing's inspection doors — no dismantling required. Compared to maintaining 2-3 separate secondary belt cleaners at different locations, the integrated system cuts maintenance time by approximately 50%.
