The unit features a mounting plate that permits spring tensioning for the cleaning blade in either a pull-up or push-down position.

It was designed specifically for two different mounting configuration options that leave extra clearance above or below the bracket when needed.

ASGCO says other options exist for the new release, including a single spring tensioner that can make easy adjustments while maintaining consistent cleaning pressure between the blade tips and belt. Additionally, an integrated dust shield keeps both dust and fugitive material within the confines of the conveyor chute.

The Duo-Spring is available on both the Razor-Back and New Wave III cleaning systems, the company noted.

ASGCO was founded in 1971 and its products and services are classified into six divisions: service, lightweight, engineering, manufactured products, OEM and distributed products.
