Martin Engineering’s new Performance Duty QC™#1 Belt Cleaner (PDQC#1) improves cleaning performance and extends life for low cost of ownership

A global leader in bulk materials handling has introduced a high-value pre-cleaner for conveyor belts, developed for extended performance and low cost of ownership. Martin Engineering’s new Performance Duty QC™#1 Belt Cleaner (PDQC#1) is the latest addition to the company’s line of “quick change” belt cleaners, designed with a steel rib that allows “one-pin” blade replacement to minimize labor and downtime.

The new cleaner features a rugged steel mainframe, low-maintenance spring tensioner and high-volume urethane blade that extends life while maintaining cleaning performance. The one-piece urethane blade employs Martin Engineering’s patented Constant Angle Radial Pressure (CARP) design for consistent cleaning across all stages of blade life. The PDQC#1 features 20% more urethane than competitive blades, yielding longer life in even the most challenging applications.

The PDQC#1 Pre-Cleaner is suited for applications on belts from 18 to 72 inches (~450 to 1800 mm)-wide, operating at speeds up to 900 fpm (4.6 m/sec). Blades are available in Martin Engineering’s color-coded high performance urethanes to suit specific applications.
