Razor-Back ending carryback

ASGCO Manufacturing has released Razor-Back with spray bar, a secondary belt cleaner that uses a row of spray nozzles to spray a fine, sharp stream of water at a 30 degree angle onto the conveyor belt where carryback material is difficult to remove.

Water is applied to the belt in an overlapping spray pattern which places the particles into a fluid suspension, while moistening the belt. The blades of the Razor-Back with spray bar are then able to make consistent contact with the belt surface to remove nearly 98% or more of the coarse carryback.

The new product suits high speed and tonnage above ground and underground mining conveyor systems running in aggressive environments. It is also handy as a secondary cleaner on a single direction conveyor and where material needed to be removed is particularly sticky.
