Cleaning Equipment for Conveyor Belts

What is the Conveyor Belt Cleaning System?

The Conveyor Belt Cleaning System is a steam cleaning device that has been developed to improve various standards associated with traditional conveyor belt cleaning methods.

Attaching to a range of Tecnovap steam vacuum machines the Conveyor Belt Cleaner uses the power of continuous superheated dry steam and vacuum to hygienically clean and dry conveyor belt systems.The Conveyor Belt Cleaning System can be used as either a permanently fixed intergrated unit or a portable mobile unit. This setup usually depends on whether there is a single conveyor belt or multiple conveyor belts that require cleaning. Most commonly portable units are required as many single conveyor belts do not have space for a permanently fixed unit and larger conveyors often have multiple change over points.

Technology Parts of Conveyor Belt Cleaning

The Conveyor Head

The System combines brush agitation whilst at the same time introducing the cleaning agent through the core of the brush.

The conveyor belt travels over an underbelt tray to ensure that the belt is presented parallel to the cleaning head. In some applications where more moisture is required for the cleaning process, the unit can be used with hot water washing systems. In the majority of cases steam and agitation is quite sufficient but if required chemical dosing or an after-clean sanitiser can be introduced. Units are built in widths, starting from 300mm and increasing in 100mm increments to 2 metres.

The Control Panel

To extract moisture while cleaning to help eliminate the need for towels required by conventional steam cleaners that include no extraction capability.

Belt Types

The Conveyor Cleaning system can be used to clean Smooth (PV or metal band) belts or modular belting.

Belts with small flights can also be cleaned but in these cases drying is not guaranteed. Where a modular belt is required to be cleaned a food grade fusion bonding is applied to the tray to avoid the chemical reaction often found between stainless steel and modular belt material.

Brush Core

A range of brush cores are available, ranging from soft bristle for modular belting through increasing stiffness grades and culminating in stainless bristles for wire mesh belting.

How to Clean Conveyor Belts

Conveyor Belt Cleaning Simplified

Overcomes traditional, time-consuming manual cleaning

Eliminates the need for system shutdowns

Offers a fast, efficient, chemical-free solution by Tecnovap

The Conveyor Cleaner by Tecnovap uses a combination of superheated 94% dry steam vapour, a motorised scrubbing brush, water/detergent injection, and a wet vacuum to treat conveyor belt systems as they run.

To Clean Simply:

(if portable system) Attach the Conveyor Cleaner to the appropriate position on the conveyor system.
Connect the steam generator and vacuum system of the JetVac or SteamBox.
When steam is ready adjust the Conveyor Cleaner squeegee and brush onto the belt so there is contact.
Run the conveyor and turn on the steam and vacuum to start cleaning. The steam will emulsify soiling, the brush will break down and the vacuum will remove simultaneously.
Once the belt is clean (usually a few cycles) simply raise and turn off the Conveyor Cleaner system.
The conveyor system is now clean and sanitised. All with minimal physical effort, very little water, no chemicals, and no mess. The Conveyor Cleaner can also be permanently fixed to the conveyor belt system.

Features

165-180°C Dry Steam

165-180°C superheated dry steam is great for sanitising the conveyor belt surface and cutting through hard to clean soiling like oils and fats.

Portable or Integrated

The Conveyor Belt Cleaning System can be used as a fixed system to reduce downtime while performing continuous cleaning process, or as a portable system for cleaning multiple conveyors.

Vacuum Extraction

Machines with a vacuum can extract soiled grimes and oily residues during production and ensure your belts dry for next use to reduce downtime.

Continuous Steam

The steam generators that power the Conveyor Belt Cleaning System all feature continuous steam production and have large water capacities.

Customised Solution

Allow customisation so it can adapt to your factory and permits you to implement "inline" cleaning for production efficiency.

Control Panel

The electronic Control Panel enables you to control the cleaning system - from turning on the vacuum to regulating the amount of steam released onto the conveyor belt.
