E405V-PLOUGHPATENTED

APPLICATIONS The E405 V-Plough is designed to be easily installed in a trailing confi gurati on on the inner surface of a conveyor belt

return strand just before any nip positi on, allowing it to remove and thus prevent any material which has spilled onto the inner surface from being carried into the nip.

Where material can only be discharged on one side of the conveyor belt or the belt is reversible, use the E505 Angle Plough.

FEATURES Unique track mounted scraping blade facilitates very easy and quick blade change. Parallel tri-link mounti ng allows the plough to move freely thus maintaining constant contact with the belt. Specially formulated PU blades ensure maximum blade life and minimum belt wear. Unique hinged assembly results in compact packaging for easy transport and installati on. Can be mounted on the top, bott om or inside of the stringers. Interlocking blades ensure no blade distorti on at leading edge

6. Maintenance

Brelko belt scrapers are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However, to maintain superior performance some service is required. When the scraper is installed a regular maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the scraper operates at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the scraper stops working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment (stationary or operating) must be observed. The E405 Return Plough operates at the discharge end of the conveyor and is in direct contact with the moving belt. Only visual observations can be made while the belt is running. Service tasks can be done only with the conveyor stopped and by observing the correct lockout/tag-out procedures.

7. New Installation

After the new plough has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the plough is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.

7.1. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)

A visual inspection of the plough and belt can determine:

• If the arms are moving freely to maintain correct pressure for optimal cleaning.

• If the belt looks clean or if there are areas that are dirty.

• If the blade is worn out and needs to be replaced.

• If there is damage to the blade or other plough components.

• If there is cover damage to the belt.

• If there is vibration or bouncing of the plough on the belt.

• If a return pulley is necessary ahead and/or behind the plough to flatten the belt.

If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor can be stopped for plough maintenance.

7.2. Routine Physical Inspection (every 6~8 weeks)

When the conveyor is not in operation and properly locked and tagged out a physical inspection of the plough to perform the following tasks:

• Clean material build-up off the plough blade and pole.

• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.

• Check both blade pins for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.

• Ensure full blade to belt contact.

• Inspect the plough frame for damage.

• Inspect all fasteners for tightness and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.

• Replace any worn or damaged components

• Check the pressure of the plough blade to the belt.

When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is performing properly.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: E405-0041. The plough is intended for removing loose material on the inside of the return side of the conveyor belt ahead of take-ups, drives and

tail pulleys.2. Refer to the assembly instructions, parts list and DRW. No.: E405-003 to confirm that all the necessary parts have been supplied and

that the plough is correctly assembled.• Note: The plough mountings can be reversed giving three possible mounting positions on the conveyor stringers, to suit different

return belt positions relative to the stringers.3. If the return belt is not parallel to the stringers the nose or tail of the plough can be lowered by adjusting the front cross brace (3c)

and stringer mounting brackets (6). (Up to 10° from parallel can be accommodated).• Note: It may be necessary to install flat return idlers.

4. With reference to DRW. No.: E405-004, select the most suitable positions for the plough which should be with the connecting links near horizontal. Mark out and make the mounting holes - (to suit M12 bolts).

5. If mounting on the inside of the stringer is required the use of tapered washers may be required.6. Fix the front cross brace (3c) and stringer mounting brackets (6) firmly in position.7. Ensure that the plough is securely linked to its frame and that it is free to move up and down to follow the belt movement.8. Make an attachment point on the conveyor frame above and ahead of the plough. Attach the chain (7) to the conveyor frame and

allow only sufficient slack in the chain to accommodate wear of the plough blades, and to prevent the plough frame from touching the belt.

9. Check that the plough is central on the belt and free to move up and down and that all bolts, nuts, links and shackles are securely fastened.

10. Start the conveyor and check for even contact of the blades with the belt and that the plough is moving freely with the belt.11. The conveyor belt should be flat at the plough position.

• Note: If necessary, install flat return rollers ahead and behind the plough.

!!!WARNING!!!

General Safety ProceduresBelt conveyors and their transfer points can be dangerous. By their very nature, they feature many “pinch” points and speeding objects. They apply large amounts of mechanical energy to what is basically a loaded rubber band. Operations and maintenance personnel must always be aware of the power of a conveyor, and they must maintain a healthy respect for its potential to injure or kill an untrained or unwary individual.

General Safety GuidelinesThere are certain safety procedures that should be observed regardless of the design of the conveyor or the circumstances of operation.

They include:

1. Lock out/tag out all energy sources to conveyor belt, conveyor accessories, and associated process equipment before beginning any work-whether it is construction, installation, maintenance, or inspection in the area. Use a lock with one key for each piece of equipment. Only the person doing the work should hold the key to the lock.

2. Employees should be properly trained on the material handling System (including emergency warning signals and emergency stop controls) before they are allowed to work in the area or attempt to install any Brelko® equipment or system.

3. Employees and visitors should learn and observe all applicable company, local, state, and federal safety rules. It is recommended that a formal testing program covering the safety rules be conducted annually.

4. The recommended operating speed and capacity for the conveyor and chute should not be exceeded. If assistance for product selection is required, please contact your Brelko® representative.

5. All tools and work materials should be removed from the belt and chute before restarting a conveyor. A safety “walk around” is recommended prior to conveyor operation, making sure that all nuts and bolts are tightened on all Brelko® equipment or systems installed. Also ensuring that all other items adjusted during installation are tightened, safety guards replaced etc...

6. All emergency controls should be close to the system, easy to access, and free of debris and obstructions.7. A hard hat, safety glasses, and steel-toe shoes should be worn when in the area of the conveyor. Loose or bulky clothing should not

be allowed.8. Never poke, prod, or reach into a material handling system while it is in operation, to clean or remove foreign objects from the

Brelko® equipment or systems installed.The above guidelines are not intended to replace the safety guidelines of the industrial area, and must be used in conjunction with the industrial area’s safety regulations and those supplied by the manufactures of the specific systems.
