If moving material down a conveyor line is key to your operation’s success, making sure that material moves off your conveyor cleanly is key to your efficiency.
When dust, dirt and even larger particles stick to your belt, carryback accumulates under the conveyor, wastes valuable material and builds up on your return rollers and pulleys. That leads to expensive downtime, maintenance and repairs.
But Binkelman and Continental have a ready-to-install solution: ContiClean.
Unlike other belts with a coating applied only to the top layer, ContiClean’s non-stick properties are baked into the belt. So, even as ContiClean wears, its ability to transport materials cleanly won’t.
Watch the video to the right. The first belt is a 3/375 Plylon Plus Defender Plus cover that’s conveying material to a system utilizing the ContiClean 3/374 Plylon Plus Defender Plus. Notice that material is sticking to the first belt, but not on the ContiClean belt.
“The issue on this system was that the material was sticking to the conveyor belt on both conveyors after the screen,” said Dave Grana, Binkelman’s Vice President of Sales. “That build-up was causing a loss of product. It was being dumped on the ground due to the carry back.”
Dave pointed out the safety issue at that site, and the need to clean up the area at the end of each shift to prevent the pile from reaching the conveyor. “That would’ve caused an entirely new set of problems,” Dave said.
Switching to the ContiClean belt reduced operating costs by eliminating the manpower needed to remove the material under the conveyor and increased production by eliminating the waste caused by the carry back problem.
Binkelman is one of the few suppliers in the area that consistently has ContiClean in stock, and our expert team is ready to install it on your line.
Whether your bread and butter is coal, limestone, sand, gravel, iron ore, aggregate or just about any other material, ContiClean is the non-stick option that stands up to your demanding workload.
