Mining Conveyor Belt Scrapers & Cleaner Blades

Mining Conveyor Belt Scrapers & Cleaner Blades

TUFFLEX Mining Conveyor Belt Scrapers are engineered for heavy-duty material handling systems where abrasive ore, sticky fines and continuous production create severe conveyor carryback.

Designed for mining, quarrying, coal, aggregate and cement applications, our belt cleaning solutions include Conveyor Belt Scrapers, Primary Belt Cleaners, Secondary Belt Cleaners, Polyurethane Belt Cleaner Blades, Tungsten Carbide Scraper Blades, Segmented Cleaner Blades and V-Plow Cleaners.

From crushing and screening plants to stockyard and overland conveyors, TUFFLEX provides cleaning components designed around actual operating conditions.

Belt Cleaning for Harsh Mining Conditions

Mining conveyor systems operate under conditions that can include abrasive ore, impact loading, moisture, dust and long operating hours.

When discharged material remains attached to the belt, this carryback can be transported into the return conveyor system and accumulate around idlers, pulleys, frames and working areas.

A heavy-duty Conveyor Belt Scraper removes this residual material near the discharge pulley and helps keep the return side cleaner.

Primary Cleaners for Bulk Carryback

The Primary Belt Cleaner / Pre-Cleaner provides the first cleaning stage and is normally positioned against the belt around the head pulley.

Polyurethane is widely suited to this application because the blade must combine wear resistance with sufficient flexibility to maintain belt contact.

TUFFLEX Polyurethane Belt Cleaner Blades can be produced in different hardness grades, widths and profiles according to the material and conveyor.

Secondary Cleaners for Fine Material

After primary cleaning, a thin layer of fines may remain attached to the belt.

A Secondary Belt Cleaner provides additional cleaning after the belt leaves the head pulley.

For highly abrasive applications, Tungsten Carbide Belt Cleaner Blades can provide a durable cleaning edge. PU-supported and segmented structures can also allow individual blade sections to respond to belt variations.

V-Plow Belt Cleaner

Material falling onto the inside surface of the return belt can be carried toward the tail pulley.

A V-Plow Belt Cleaner or diagonal plow diverts this material away from the belt before it reaches the pulley.

This provides an additional protection measure for tail-pulley areas in mines, quarries and bulk-material handling systems.

Segmented Scraper Design

Segmented cleaning blades provide multiple independent contact points across the conveyor belt.

This configuration is particularly useful where the belt surface is not perfectly uniform or where localized wear occurs.

Individual segments can be replaced separately, simplifying maintenance and reducing unnecessary replacement of the entire cleaning edge.

Technical Options

Typical Mining Applications

Iron Ore Conveyors: Abrasion-resistant scraper systems for crushing, screening and beneficiation plants.

Coal Handling: Cleaning solutions for wet fines and coal carryback in mines and preparation plants.

Copper & Gold Ore: Heavy-duty cleaning for crushing circuits, processing plants and stockpile conveyors.

Quarry & Aggregate: Belt scrapers for crushed stone, sand, gravel and screening operations.

Cement & Limestone: Continuous belt cleaning for limestone, raw meal and other bulk materials.

Customized Replacement Scraper Blades

Mining operators often use different cleaner brands and structures across the same processing plant.

TUFFLEX therefore provides customized Replacement Polyurethane Cleaner Blades according to drawings, samples and existing blade profiles.

When searching for an alternative replacement, send us the original blade photographs and dimensions. Our engineers can evaluate the blade cross-section, mounting profile, cleaning width and application conditions before production.

Information Required for Quotation

Please provide:

• Conveyor belt width and speed
• Head pulley diameter
• Material and particle size
• Wet/dry material condition
• Conveyor capacity
• Belt splice type
• Cleaner installation position
• Existing cleaner/blade photographs
• Blade dimensions and cross-section
• Required quantity

Providing detailed operating information allows us to recommend a more suitable blade material, hardness and cleaning structure instead of selecting a scraper only according to belt width.

TUFFLEX Mining Conveyor Wear Solutions

In addition to Conveyor Belt Cleaners & Scraper Blades, TUFFLEX supplies wear components for mining conveyor and screening systems, helping mines, quarries, processing plants and maintenance contractors source multiple wear-part categories from one supplier.

Whether you require a complete cleaner assembly or only a regularly replaced Polyurethane Scraper Blade, TUFFLEX can manufacture solutions according to your conveyor and operating conditions.
