We have Primary Cleaning Systems to suit most applications and providing easy and effective maintenance of industrial equipment conveyor belt systems.

  • MCP1 Air Bag Tension Pre Belt Cleaner

    The MATO MCP1 primary belt cleaner is an aggressive head drum cleaner consisting of multiple blade sections, in line, mounted just under the tangential centre line of the head pulley, to remove the bulk of the carryback material to return to the main flow of product being conveyed. The MCP1 cleaner is mounted underneath the head drum to ensure no material build-up occurs on the cleaner unit, and to eliminate the risk of damage from the cleaner to the belt. Each blade is individually mounted with a rubber tensioning cushion to ensure even blade pressure across the face of the head drum. Tungsten carbide blades are used for fully vulcanised belts and polyurethane blades are used for mechanically fastened belts.

    Polyurethane Blades

    There are a number of polyurethane blade grades to choose from. Polyurethane blades can be used in underground coal mines with stringent fire resistant, antistatic requirements, as well as surface applications with aggressive products being conveyed, to high temperature or even food grade applications. MATO has also incorporated a polyurethane blade suitable for very dry applications with an inbuilt lubrication element to reduce the chances of chattering whilst running on dry conveyor belts.

    Air Bag Tension

    The air bag end assembly is one of our latest designs in constant performance for belt cleaner tensioning devices. This unique design of the air bag system for primary and secondary cleaners is by far our most successful tensioning device in today’s market.
  • Spring Tension Pre Belt Cleaner

    Spring Tension

    The tension spring assembly allows for constant tension to be applied to the cleaner unit, to cater for blade wear or greater movement for the blade surface on the head drum. This reduces the maintenance frequency for adjustment.

  • Bolt Tension Tungsten Carbide Pre Belt Cleaner

    The MATO MCP1 Belt Cleaning Unit is an aggressive head drum cleaner consisting of a multiple blade section, in line, mounted just under the Tangential centre line of the head pulley, to remove the bulk of the carryback material to return to the main flow of product being conveyed. The MCP1 cleaner is mounted underneath the head drum to ensure no material build-up occurs on the cleaner unit, and to eliminate the risk of damage from the cleaner to the belt.

    Tungsten Carbide Blades

    MATO offers different grades of tungsten carbide to suit each application. For example, tungsten impact when used with aggressive products or belts, tungsten long life for high speed, abrasive, applications (not for use with mechanical fasteners).

    Bolt Tension

    The MATO standard bolt tension assembly allows for easy adjustment during the initial setup of the blade and for ongoing changes to the blade height as it wears. Bolt tension assemblies work very well with a cushioned or flexible blade system.
  • Air Bag Tension Polyurethane Primary Belt Cleaner

    The MATO MUP2 polyurethane primary belt cleaner is designed to be aggressive but friendly to the conveyor belt. The MUP2 returns up to 95% of the bulk material to the mainstream production flow being conveyed. The air operated end assembly offers a constant blade pressure to the conveyor belt’s surface for the entire life of the polyurethane blade, eliminating continuous blade adjustment and maintenance. Note, if air is not available the air bag end assembly can also be tensioned by using water pressure from the main supply line. See your local MATO representative for more details. The MUP2 polyurethane primary belt cleaner has two standard types of tensioning devices available. Spring tension assembly or air operated assembly, for the most reliable and effective tensioning methods available in today's market.

This unique design of the air bag system for primary and secondary cleaners is by far our most successful tensioning device in today’s market. When used on our MUP2 primary cleaners the blade contact remains at is today's 15 degrees set up for the entire blade, this improves the cleaning efficiency throughout the life of the polyurethane blade.
