Conveyor belt scraping apparatus

摘要

A conveyor belt scraping apparatus comprises a blade having a blade edge biased against a conveyor belt. The blade is supported at its base and has a blade body extending from the base to support the blade edge. The scraper blade body has a substantially rectangular recess in the base adapted for frictional mounting on a flange for engaging the surface of a conveyor belt for scraping material therefrom. A blade assembly of the present invention includes a mounting having a plurality of radial flanges and one or more scraper blades each having a blade body with an edge distal from its base and at least one substantially rectangular recess in the base frictionally mounted on at least one of the plurality of flanges, but not in mechanical locking engagement thereto.
