SCRAPER FOR CONVEYOR BELT

摘要

A scraper assembly is pivotally supported for biased engagement with the outer surface of a moving conveyor belt to clean the surface of the belt. The scraper assembly includes a plurality of scraper elements spaced along the length of an elongate carrier which extends transversely of the side edges of the belt. Each scraper element is removably mounted on the carrier and at an inclined angle with respect to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt to displace material clinging to the surface of the belt outwardly towards the edges of the conveyor belt. The scraper element consists of a resilient body with a fixedly vulcanized assembly profile with an outwardly open undercut groove for a bolt. The undercut groove extends at an inclined angle towards the scraping edges of the scraper element. The elongate carriers of the carrier device have a curved carrying surface facing the scraper elements. The opening edges of the undercut groove abut against this carrying surface for orientation of the groove parallel with the carriers and thereby for orientation of the scraper elements obliquely with respect to the direction of travel of the conveyor belt.
