Secondary belt cleaner with modular, torsional tensioned arm and replaceable blade tips
A secondary belt cleaner system for cleaning the surface of the return side of an endless conveyor belt. The system includes a plurality of blade devices that are rotatably biased against the return side surface using a respective torsion spring therein. Each blade device includes a head portion formed by a blade support and a replaceable blade tip that is releasably secured to the blade support.

PRIMARY BELT CLEANER TENSIONING SYSTEM WITH INTERNAL TORSION SPRING
A primary belt cleaner tensioning system that permits the adjustment of contacting force of a scraper blade on a conveyor belt surface. The system utilizes a torsion spring contained within a mounting tube and rotatable shaft which not only protects the torsion spring from the environment but also allows the spring length to be sufficiently long to have enhanced deflection during tensioning. As the blade wears and tension is released, a significant amount of the initially-applied tension is retained in the system, thereby eliminating the need to retension the system over the life of the blade as is required for prior art blade tensioning systems. A tension applicator allows the user to initially tension the system and use of shaped retainers and end caps allow one end of the torsion spring to be fixed to different types of hollow shafts while the other end is coupled to the tension applicator.
A belt cleaner system for cleaning the return side surface of an endless conveyor belt. A plurality of blade devices are rotatably biased against the return side surface using a respective torsion spring therein. Each blade device includes a head portion having a blade support and a replaceable blade tip that is releasably secured to the blade support. The head portion connects to one blade arm end and the other blade arm end couples to a rotatable shaft inside a housing that is fixedly secured to a support shaft having mounting brackets at each end for system mounting transversely to the conveyor belt frame. Adjacent blade devices have different blade arm lengths to implement blade coverage overlap with no gaps in between. The respective torsion springs in adjacent blade devices are pretensioned to different angular amounts for different blade arm lengths and for maintaining blade tip contact to the return side surface.

A support for a conveyor belt is provided. The support has a series of frames that may be installed beneath the underside of the conveyor belt to support the underside of the belt in a trough-shaped arrangement. Each frame supports a guide element, such as a roller, slider bar or bearing block, that permits the belt to ride over the frames. The frames may be installed beneath the belt and removed from beneath the belt from one side of the conveyor belt. Installation and removal of the components require minimal side clearance beneath the belt. As a result, the support may be installed and removed with minimal interference from adjacent structures or fixtures beneath the belt.
