Automated Tensioner for Conveyor Belt Cleaners

This automated pneumatic tensioning system for belt cleaners delivers precise monitoring and tensioning throughout all stages of blade life, reducing the labor typically required to maintain optimum blade pressure and extending the service life of both the belt and the cleaner.  

Equipped with sensors to confirm that the belt is loaded and running, the system automatically backs the blade away during stoppages or when the conveyor is running empty, minimizing unnecessary wear to both the belt and cleaner. The result is consistently correct blade tension, with reduced power demand on start-up, all managed without operator intervention.

The Automated Blade System (ABS) can be supplied in two variations, for locations with or without an existing power source. For locations lacking convenient power access, the self-contained version uses the moving conveyor to generate its own electricity
