摘要

Belt cleaning apparatus includes a scraper blade (120) mounted to a blade holder (110) and urged against a belt (12) for moving and/or removing material carried thereby. The blade (120) include s a pair of flexible legs (130) or skirts that engage the blade holder (110) in snap-on/snap-off fashion. A tensioner (200) includes inner (220) and outer collars (230) engaging the blade holder (110) and a housing (250) and a torsion spring (210) between the collars tensions the blade (120). The housing (250) engages one of the collars such as by a locking handle (260) for fixing the spring tension and also serves to shield the tensioner from debris. The apparatus may be easily and quickly disassembled and assembled without tools, may be constructed of food-grade materials, and is "open" for ease of cleaning. <IMG>
