CONVEYOR PRODUCTS

ABOUT US
Brelko® designs and manufactures conveyor belt cleaning equipment for a trouble-free flow of materials at transfer and load points.
This is backed up by an installation and maintenance package. We have served as a supplier and advisor on spillage control to the
bulk materials handling industry, since 1987 and offer proactive and ongoing maintenance for preventative spillage control and
optimum belt cleaning. We are accredited with ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications, and are members of
the Institute of Materials Handling and Conveyor Manufacturers Association of South Africa Limited. We have branches in the United
Kingdom and the United States, our master distributors in Australia, Chile, Greece, and agents located in more than 40 countries.

PRODUCT RANGE
BRELKO® BELT SCRAPERS:
A complete range of primary and secondary scrapers, V and Angle ploughs. Scrapers feature the patented “V” double arm blade
and torsion holder mounting. The system is designed for stability and makes maintenance and blade changing as quick and simple
as possible.

BRELKO® CHUTE SEALING SYSTEMS


(KEYSKIRT®):
This patented chute sealing system is available in four sizes, each designed for a specific range of applications.
Size 1: This is a self adjusting flexible skirt sealing strip featuring the patented Brelko® multiple lip seal, designed to be used with
smaller conveyor belts. Specially formulated compounds ensure maximum seal life. It’s also available in a non-toxic rubber grade
with stainless steel mounting track for the food industry. Compounds cover normal industrial, heat resistant, and F.R.A.S.O.R. (Fire
Retardant, Anti Static & Oil Resistant).
Size 2: This is a self adjusting flexible skirt sealing strip featuring the patented Brelko® multiple lip seal, designed for rugged
transfer applications. Specially formulated compounds ensure maximum seal life. It’s also available in a non-toxic rubber grade
with stainless steel mounting track for the food industry. Compounds cover normal industrial, heat resistant, and F.R.A.S.O.R. (Fire
Retardant, Anti Static & Oil Resistant).
Size 3: A highly abrasion and cut resistant polyurethane sealing strip mounted in the patented Brelko® track system which
features simple adjustment to allow for skirt wear. The system is designed to provide optimum containment of large lumpy material
and is especially effective when used in conjunction with Brelko® Feedboots. Available in standard & F.R.A.S.O.R. (Fire Retardant, Anti
Static & Oil Resistant) polyurethane.
Size 4: Similar to Size 1&2, but for larger wider belts.

BRELKO® BELT SUPPORT SYSTEMS:


Brelko® Feedboots are designed to be used at load points to support the conveyor belt, preventing belt sag between idler rolls and
thereby ensuring maximum skirt sealing and spillage control. UHMW Polyethylene material is used to line the load surfaces and
therefore dramatically reducing friction and wear.

UNIVERSAL FEEDBOOT
This model features adjustable wing plates to allow the belt troughing angle to be accurately accommodated, thereby assisting in
maintaining correct belt tracking and effective skirt sealing.

COMBINATION FEEDBOOT
This model features load surfaces that have been mounted on rubber spring units allowing deflection under load conditions while
still maintaining a form seal line for the skirt system. It is used where variable load conditions with relatively small particles and
average impact are encountered.

HI-IMPACT IDLER: (BTA)


This system has been developed to be used in conjunction with garland idlers to absorb large impact loads due to the transfer of
very large lumps of material. Mechanical damage to conveyor belting conveyor idlers, cradles and supporting structure are thus
greatly reduced or eliminated.

BRELKO® BLOCKAGE REMOVAL and BULK FLOW MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS:


Brelko® Air Cannons use the patented Brelko® diaphragm discharge system. The only moving part is a flexible rubber diaphragm
which ensures trouble-free operation even in extremely dirty and hostile environments. Used in conjunction with the Brelko® Air
Lance discharge nozzle, the build up of fine material in chutes, hoppers etc. can be prevented thus avoiding blockages and flow
stoppages.

BRELKO® BELT TRACKING SYSTEMS


Brelko® belt tracking systems, can be installed on the troughing and return side of the belt, to quickly and effectively centralise
misaligned belts, prevent belt edge damage, structural damage and spillage, decrease downtime and maintenance.

BRELKO® PRODUCT & SCRAPER ACCESSORIES:


For additional options, including stainless steel mounting components, special paint requirements, drop-over “v-track” mounting
options, chute sealing and inspection doors, mounting hardware etc. consult your Brelko® Conveyor Products representative.

BRELKO® CADD DRAWINGS:


Make use of our complete range of product drawings in 2D and 3D format. File formats are DWG or DXF for two dimensional
drawings and SAT for 3D models. It significantly reduces design time by direct insertion into existing designs. All product drawings
are available on various forms of electronic media.

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 E101 Primary Scraper 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
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the standard mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from the standard mounts (7).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the standard mount (7) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are four
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate standard mount (7) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on standard mount (7) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blade’s to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
15. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
16. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper one further turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until
all blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
17. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
18. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
19. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the torsion mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from torsion mounts (8).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the torsion mount (8) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are four
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate torsion mount (8) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on torsion mount (8) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight. Adjust set screws (13) until they just touch the torsion arm. Pre-tension the torsion mount and
tighten set screws (13) four full turns.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blades to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper one further full turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. The blades should now rest on the belt surface.
• Note: - Check that the set screws (13) are not touching the torsion arm. If they are still in contact with the arm continue
to adjust the scraper towards the belt in increments of half a turn of the lock nuts until the set screw (13) just clears the
torsion arm.
16. Slacken the set screws (13) four full turns and tighten the lock nuts.
17. Check that the complete scraper assembly can move freely up and down on the torsion mounts, and that all blades can
move freely.
18. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
19. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
20. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper one further turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until
all blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
21. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
22. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
23. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko polyurethane blades have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

E151 PRIMARY
BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ As a primary scraper to ensure maximum removal of wet and fine carryback.
ƒƒ Specifically designed for use on belts using metal fastener systems.
ƒƒ Ideally suited for conveyors where belts of different thicknesses have been joined together.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt on both the front and back rows.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Specially formulated polymeric blades give maximum life, and keep the possibility of damage to belt
repairs, splices and metal fasteners to a minimum.
ƒƒ Patented blade design ensures optimum combination of flexibility and stiffness to adapt to belt profile.
ƒƒ Patented V-base blade mounting makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Brelko self adjusting torsion mountings allow the scraper to maintain a constant pressure on the belt and
greatly extends adjustment intervals, also available is the standard adjustable mounting.
ƒƒ Positioning of blades in an overlapping configuration ensures that any material passing between the
blades of the first row is removed by the second row.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.

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 E151 Primary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko polyurethane blades have been designed to break out of the support v-track to
protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt and conveyor belt
equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/damaged splicing,
belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If polyurethane damage occurs follow the steps
below to replace individual or all of the blades:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

E205 SECONDARY
BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ Universal choice for all normal cleaning applications.
ƒƒ Not suitable for mounting directly onto the head pulley.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt.
ƒƒ Selection of correct blade material gives optimum blade life under all operating conditions and conveyed
materials.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Patented V-base torsion holder makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Fully sealed construction of torsion holder prevents material build-up or ingress into the spring unit.
ƒƒ Twin arm design of the torsion holder prevents radial and lateral blade oscillations and only allows
longitudinal blade movement thus ensuring uniform and constant blade contact with the belt, irrespective
of variations in belt thicknesses and surface conditions.
ƒƒ Pre-tensioned blades restrict forward movement and reduces belt contact pressure for optimised cleaning,
and extends belt life.
ƒƒ Lightweight polymeric material used for the torsion holder ensures ease of handling, corrosion protection
and minimum impact on belt surface after deflection.
ƒƒ Patented blade torsion holder and blade design incorporating a deflector skirt ensures accurate assembly
and a clean running scraper.
ƒƒ Brelko self adjusting torsion mountings allow the scraper to maintain a constant pressure on the belt and
greatly extends adjustment intervals, also available is the standard adjustable mounting.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.
ƒƒ Robust construction for longer life.

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 E205 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole for damage.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: E205-S-006


1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the standard mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from the standard mounts (7).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the standard mount (7) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are four
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate standard mount (7) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on standard mount (7) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blade’s to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
16. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
17. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until all
blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
18. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
19. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
20. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

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 E251 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. All scrapers will be wrapped and clearly marked with the model number, scraper blade grade and belt width.
• Note: - Scrapers will be supplied with all nuts and bolts to complete the assembly and installation.
2. Referring to the parts list and installation data sheet check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for
the model and belt width of scraper ordered.
3. Normally scrapers are supplied with blades (3), torsion holders (4) and end stops (5) assembled on the carrier shaft (1). If
not, assemble as shown using a lithium base grease as a lubricant to ease future removal of blades. If necessary, use a
rubber mallet to tap the blades into the “V” track. Do not over-tighten end stop (5) set screws.
4. Check that the blades (3) are free to deflect forwards and backwards. If any blades foul those adjacent, slightly slacken
end stop (5) set screws, and tap the torsion holders (4) sideways until the blades (3) clear each other. Tighten end stop (5)
set screws.
• Note: - There should be 0,5mm gap between blades (3).
5. Depending on the installation access (see Installation Guide paragraph-1) an optional three piece shaft may be required,
then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces may now be attached.
• Note: - Three piece carrier shafts are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
6. Check whether the optional offset plates (10) are to be used, and if so; ensure that they are correctly assembled. Ensure
that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
7. Proceed with the installation as per the installation guide.

1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the standard mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from the standard mounts (7).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the standard mount (7) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are four
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate standard mount (7) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on standard mount (7) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blade’s to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
15. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
16. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper one further turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until
all blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
17. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
18. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
19. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. All scrapers will be wrapped and clearly marked with the model number, scraper blade grade and belt width.
• Note: - Scrapers will be supplied with all nuts and bolts to complete the assembly and installation.
2. Referring to the parts list and installation data sheet check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for
the model and belt width of scraper ordered.
3. Normally scrapers are supplied with blades (3), torsion holders (4) and end stops (5) assembled on the carrier shaft (1). If
not, assemble as shown using a lithium base grease as a lubricant to ease future removal of blades. If necessary, use a
rubber mallet to tap the blades into the “V” track. Do not over-tighten end stop (5) set screws.
4. Check that the blades (3) are free to deflect forwards and backwards. If any blades foul those adjacent, slightly slacken
end stop (5) set screws, and tap the torsion holders (4) sideways until the blades (3) clear each other. Tighten end stop (5)
set screws.
• Note: - There should be 0,5mm gap between blades (3).
5. Depending on the installation access (see Installation Guide paragraph-1) an optional three piece shaft may be required,
then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces may now be attached.
• Note: - Three piece carrier shafts are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
6. Check whether the optional offset plates (10) are to be used, and if so; ensure that they are correctly assembled. Ensure
that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
7. Proceed with the installation as per the installation guide.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: E251-T-007


1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the torsion mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from torsion mounts (8).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the torsion mount (8) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are four
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate torsion mount (8) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on torsion mount (8) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight. Adjust set screws (13) until they just touch the torsion arm. Pre-tension the torsion mount and
tighten set screws (13) four full turns.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blades to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper one further full turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. The blades should now rest on the belt surface.
• Note: - Check that the set screws (13) are not touching the torsion arm. If they are still in contact with the arm continue
to adjust the scraper towards the belt in increments of half a turn of the lock nuts until the set screw (13) just clears the
torsion arm.
16. Slacken the set screws (13) four full turns and tighten the lock nuts.
17. Check that the complete scraper assembly can move freely up and down on the torsion mounts, and that all blades can
move freely.
18. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
19. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
20. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper one further turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until
all blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
21. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
22. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
23. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

E255 - PREMIUM
SECONDARY HEAVY DUTY
BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ Universal choice for heavy duty cleaning applications. Specially suited for wider high speed belts.
ƒƒ Not suitable for mounting directly onto the head pulley.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt.
ƒƒ Selection of correct blade material gives optimum blade life under all operating conditions and conveyed
materials.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Patented V-base torsion holder makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Fully sealed construction of torsion holder prevents material build-up or ingress into the spring unit.
ƒƒ Twin arm design of the torsion holder prevents radial and lateral blade oscillations and only allows
longitudinal blade movement thus ensuring uniform and constant blade contact with the belt, irrespective
of variations in belt thicknesses and surface conditions.
ƒƒ Pre-tensioned blades restrict forward movement and reduces belt contact pressure for optimised cleaning,
and extends belt life.
ƒƒ Lightweight polymeric material used for the torsion holder ensures ease of handling, corrosion protection
and minimum impact on belt surface after deflection.
ƒƒ Patented blade torsion holder and blade design incorporating a deflector skirt ensures accurate assembly
and a clean running scraper.
ƒƒ Brelko self adjusting torsion mountings allow the scraper to maintain a constant pressure on the belt and
greatly extends adjustment intervals, also available is the standard adjustable mounting.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.
ƒƒ Robust construction for longer life.

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 E255 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the standard mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from the standard mounts (7).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the standard mount (7) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are four
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate standard mount (7) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on standard mount (7) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blade’s to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
16. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
17. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until all
blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
18. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
19. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
20. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the torsion mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from torsion mounts (8).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the torsion mount (8) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are two
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate torsion mount (8) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on torsion mount (8) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight. Adjust set screws (13) until they just touch the torsion arm. Pre-tension the torsion mount and
tighten set screws (13) one full turn.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blades to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. The blades should now rest on the belt surface.
• Note: - Check that the set screws (13) are not touching the torsion arm. If they are still in contact with the arm continue
to adjust the scraper towards the belt in increments of half a turn of the lock nuts until the set screw (13) just clears the
torsion arm.
16. Slacken the set screws (13) four full turns and tighten the lock nuts.
17. Check that the complete scraper assembly can move freely up and down on the torsion mounts, and that all blades can
move freely.
18. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
19. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
20. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until all
blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
21. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
22. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
23. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

4. General Information
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.
Secondary Scrapers 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.

E305 SECONDARY
BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ As a heavy duty Secondary Scraper when wet and sticky materials are conveyed, providing optimum
coverage of belt surface and therefore maximum removal of carryback.
ƒƒ Not suitable for mounting directly onto the head pulley.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt.
ƒƒ Selection of correct blade material gives optimum blade life under all operating conditions and conveyed
materials.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Positioning of blades in an overlapping configuration ensures that any material passing between the
blades of the first row is removed by the second row.
ƒƒ Patented V-base torsion holder makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Fully sealed construction of torsion holder prevents material build-up or ingress into the spring unit.
ƒƒ Twin arm design of the torsion holder prevents radial and lateral blade oscillations and only allows
longitudinal blade movement thus ensuring uniform and constant blade contact with the belt, irrespective
of variations in belt thicknesses and surface conditions.
ƒƒ Pre-tensioned blades restrict forward movement and reduces belt contact pressure for optimised cleaning,
and extends belt life.
ƒƒ Lightweight polymeric material used for the torsion holder ensures ease of handling, corrosion protection
and minimum impact on belt surface after deflection.
ƒƒ Patented blade torsion holder and blade design incorporating a deflector skirt ensures accurate assembly
and a clean running scraper.
ƒƒ Brelko self adjusting torsion mountings allow the scraper to maintain a constant pressure on the belt and
greatly extends adjustment intervals, also available is the standard adjustable mounting.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.
ƒƒ Robust construction for longer life.

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 E305 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer
to scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.

E351 COMPOSITE SECONDARY


HEAVY DUTY BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ As a heavy duty Secondary Scraper when wet and sticky materials are conveyed, providing optimum
coverage of belt surface and therefore maximum removal of carryback.
ƒƒ Not suitable for mounting directly onto the head pulley.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt.
ƒƒ Selection of correct blade material gives optimum blade life under all operating conditions and conveyed
materials.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Positioning of blades in an overlapping configuration ensures that any material passing between the
blades of the first row is removed by the second row.
ƒƒ Patented V-base blade mounting makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Specially formulated composite blades give maximum life, and ensure accurate assembly and a clean
running scraper.
ƒƒ Brelko self adjusting torsion mountings allow the scraper to maintain a constant pressure on the belt and
greatly extends adjustment intervals, also available is the standard adjustable mounting.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.

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 E305 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. All scrapers will be wrapped and clearly marked with the model number, scraper blade grade and belt width.
• Note: - Scrapers will be supplied with all nuts and bolts to complete the assembly and installation.
2. Referring to the parts list and installation data sheet check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for
the model and belt width of scraper ordered.
3. Normally scrapers are supplied with blades (3), torsion holders (4) and end stops (5) assembled on the carrier shaft (1). If
not, assemble as shown using a lithium base grease as a lubricant to ease future removal of blades. If necessary, use a
rubber mallet to tap the blades into the “V” track. Do not over-tighten end stop (5) set screws.
4. Check that the blades (3) are free to deflect forwards and backwards. If any blades foul those adjacent, slightly slacken
end stop (5) set screws, and tap the torsion holders (4) sideways until the blades (3) clear each other. Tighten end stop (5)
set screws.
• Note: - There should be 0,5mm gap between blades (3).
5. Check whether the optional offset plates (10) are to be used, and if so; ensure that they are correctly assembled. Ensure
that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
6. Proceed with the installation as per the installation guide.

possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the optional offset plates (10) may be used as shown in
the Parts List Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate standard mount (7) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together.
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on standard mount (7) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blades to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
15. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
16. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper one further turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until
all blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
17. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
18. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
19. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

4. General Information
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.
Secondary Scrapers 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.

E355 PREMIUM SECONDARY


HEAVY DUTY BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ As a heavy duty Secondary Scraper when wet and sticky materials are conveyed, providing optimum
coverage of belt surface and therefore maximum removal of carryback.
ƒƒ Not suitable for mounting directly onto the head pulley.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt.
ƒƒ Selection of correct blade material gives optimum blade life under all operating conditions and conveyed
materials.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Positioning of blades in an overlapping configuration ensures that any material passing between the
blades of the first row is removed by the second row.
ƒƒ Patented V-base torsion holder makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Fully sealed construction of torsion holder prevents material build-up or ingress into the spring unit.
ƒƒ Twin arm design of the torsion holder prevents radial and lateral blade oscillations and only allows
longitudinal blade movement thus ensuring uniform and constant blade contact with the belt, irrespective
of variations in belt thicknesses and surface conditions.
ƒƒ Pre-tensioned blades restrict forward movement and reduces belt contact pressure for optimised cleaning,
and extends belt life.
ƒƒ Lightweight polymeric material used for the torsion holder ensures ease of handling, corrosion protection
and minimum impact on belt surface after deflection.
ƒƒ Patented blade torsion holder and blade design incorporating a deflector skirt ensures accurate assembly
and a clean running scraper.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.
ƒƒ Robust construction for longer life.

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 E355 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

E405
V-PLOUGH
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ The E405 V-Plough is designed to be easily installed in a trailing configuration on the inner surface of
a conveyor belt return strand just before any nip position, allowing it to remove and thus prevent any
material which has spilled onto the inner surface from being carried into the nip.
ƒƒ Where material can only be discharged on one side of the conveyor belt or the belt is reversible, use the
E505 Angle Plough.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Unique track mounted scraping blade facilitates very easy and quick blade change.
ƒƒ Parallel tri-link mounting allows the plough to move freely thus maintaining constant contact with the belt.
ƒƒ Specially formulated PU blades ensure maximum blade life and minimum belt wear.
ƒƒ Unique hinged assembly results in compact packaging for easy transport and installation.
ƒƒ Can be mounted on the top, bottom or inside of the stringers.
ƒƒ Interlocking blades ensure no blade distortion 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.: E405-004


1. 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.

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 E505 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.

6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole for damage.
• Inspect all fasteners for tightness and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
• Replace any worn or damaged components.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.

E705 COMPACT SECONDARY


BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ Specially designed for easy installation on all belts up to 750mm wide.
ƒƒ Can be installed where there is not enough space for other scrapers.
ƒƒ Not suitable for mounting directly onto the head pulley.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt.
ƒƒ Selection of correct blade material gives optimum blade life under all operating conditions and conveyed
materials.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Patented V-base torsion holder makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Fully sealed construction of torsion holder prevents material build-up or ingress into the spring unit.
ƒƒ Twin arm design of the torsion holder prevents radial and lateral blade oscillations and only allows
longitudinal blade movement thus ensuring uniform and constant blade contact with the belt, irrespective
of variations in belt thicknesses and surface conditions.
ƒƒ Pre-tensioned blades restrict forward movement and reduces belt contact pressure for optimised cleaning,
and extends belt life.
ƒƒ Lightweight polymeric material used for the torsion holder ensures ease of handling, corrosion protection
and minimum impact on belt surface after deflection.
ƒƒ Patented blade torsion holder and blade design incorporating a deflector skirt ensures accurate assembly
and a clean running scraper.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.
ƒƒ Robust construction for longer life.

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 E705 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

3. Normally scrapers are supplied with blades (3), torsion holders (4) and end stops (5) assembled on the carrier shaft (1). If
not, assemble as shown using a lithium base grease as a lubricant to ease future removal of blades. If necessary, use a
rubber mallet to tap the blades into the “V” track. Do not over-tighten end stop (5) set screws.
4. Check that the blades (3) are free to deflect forwards and backwards. If any blades foul those adjacent, slightly slacken
end stop (5) set screws, and tap the torsion holders (4) sideways until the blades (3) clear each other. Tighten end stop (5)
set screws.
• Note: - There should be 0,5mm gap between blades (3).
5. Depending on the installation access (see Installation Guide paragraph-1) an optional three piece shaft may be required,
then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces may now be attached.
• Note: - Three piece carrier shafts are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
6. Check whether the optional offset plates (10) are to be used, and if so; ensure that they are correctly assembled. Ensure
that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.

2. Remove the standard mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from the standard mounts (7).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the standard mount (7) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are four
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate standard mount (7) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on standard mount (7) as shown and fit bolts, washers

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. All scrapers will be wrapped and clearly marked with the model number, scraper blade grade and belt width.
• Note: - Scrapers will be supplied with all nuts and bolts to complete the assembly and installation.
2. Referring to the parts list and installation data sheet check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for
the model and belt width of scraper ordered.
3. Normally scrapers are supplied with blades (3), torsion holders (4) and end stops (5) assembled on the carrier shaft (1). If
not, assemble as shown using a lithium base grease as a lubricant to ease future removal of blades. If necessary, use a
rubber mallet to tap the blades into the “V” track. Do not over-tighten end stop (5) set screws.
4. Check that the blades (3) are free to deflect forwards and backwards. If any blades foul those adjacent, slightly slacken
end stop (5) set screws, and tap the torsion holders (4) sideways until the blades (3) clear each other. Tighten end stop (5)
set screws.
• Note: - There should be 0,5mm gap between blades (3).
5. Depending on the installation access (see Installation Guide paragraph-1) an optional three piece shaft may be required,
then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces may now be attached.
• Note: - Three piece carrier shafts are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
6. Check whether the optional offset plates (10) are to be used, and if so; ensure that they are correctly assembled. Ensure
that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) are not supplied as standard and must be ordered separately.
7. Proceed with the installation as per the installation guide.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: E705-T-010


1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and the Parts List Drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled. Depending on access space, it may be necessary to use an optional
3-piece carrier. Then one or both of the carrier shaft end pieces can be fitted once the scraper is in position.
2. Remove the torsion mount clamp piece (11), and green nylon bushes (12) from torsion mounts (8).
3. Check that the lock nuts move freely on the spindles.
4. Remove the torsion mount (8) from the spindles (6).
5. Referring to the dimensions given in the table, see the Installation drawing, select the optimum position for the scraper
and mark the location of the access apertures.
6. With reference to the Installation drawing, select the most convenient location for the mounting spindles. There are two
possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the 3 piece shafts may be used as shown in the Parts List
Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) and 3-piece shafts are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate torsion mount (8) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together (3-piece shaft only).
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on torsion mount (8) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight. Adjust set screws (13) until they just touch the torsion arm. Pre-tension the torsion mount and
tighten set screws (13) one full turn.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blades to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. The blades should now rest on the belt surface.
• Note: - Check that the set screws (13) are not touching the torsion arm. If they are still in contact with the arm continue
to adjust the scraper towards the belt in increments of half a turn of the lock nuts until the set screw (13) just clears the
torsion arm.
16. Slacken the set screws (13) four full turns and tighten the lock nuts.
17. Check that the complete scraper assembly can move freely up and down on the torsion mounts, and that all blades can
move freely.
18. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
19. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
20. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until all
blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
21. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
22. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
23. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

E805 COMPACT SECONDARY


BELT SCRAPER
PATENTED

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ Specially designed for easy installation on all belts up to 750mm wide.
ƒƒ Can be installed where there is not enough space for other scrapers.
ƒƒ Not suitable for mounting directly onto the head pulley.
ƒƒ Use in conjunction with torsion arm mountings to accommodate different belt thicknesses on the same
conveyor and excessive belt movement due to pulley eccentricity, thereby ensuring constant pressure with
the belt.
ƒƒ Selection of correct blade material gives optimum blade life under all operating conditions and conveyed
materials.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Positioning of blades in an overlapping configuration ensures that any material passing between the
blades of the first row is removed by the second row.
ƒƒ Patented V-base torsion holder makes blade changing quick and simple.
ƒƒ Fully sealed construction of torsion holder prevents material build-up or ingress into the spring unit.
ƒƒ Twin arm design of the torsion holder prevents radial and lateral blade oscillations and only allows
longitudinal blade movement thus ensuring uniform and constant blade contact with the belt, irrespective
of variations in belt thicknesses and surface conditions.
ƒƒ Pre-tensioned blades restrict forward movement and reduces belt contact pressure for optimised cleaning,
and extends belt life.
ƒƒ Lightweight polymeric material used for the torsion holder ensures ease of handling, corrosion protection
and minimum impact on belt surface after deflection.
ƒƒ Patented blade torsion holder and blade design incorporating a deflector skirt ensures accurate assembly
and a clean running scraper.
ƒƒ All metal components can be made from corrosion resistant materials.
ƒƒ Robust construction for longer life.

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 E805 Secondary Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

possible positions but in all cases ensure that the spindles remains at 90° (± 10°) to the belt surface. If no suitable location
can be found to attach the spindle foot to the conveyer structure, the optional offset plates (10) may be used as shown in
the Parts List Drawing.
• Note: - Offset plates (10) are not supplied as standard, and must be ordered separately.
7. Fix the spindles (6) firmly in position. Locate standard mount (7) on spindles as shown.
8. Check that carrier shaft end pieces and carrier shaft centrepiece are firmly bolted together.
9. Position carrier shaft underneath the conveyor belt centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley.
10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on standard mount (7) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blades to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
16. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
17. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until all
blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
18. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
19. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
20. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

10. Position carrier shaft and attached clamp piece (11) and bushes (12) on torsion mount (8) as shown and fit bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten finger tight. Adjust set screws (13) until they just touch the torsion arm. Pre-tension the torsion mount and
tighten set screws (13) four full turns.
• Note: - It may be necessary to adjust the location of the mount on the spindles by means of spindles nuts so that the
blades are clear of the belt surface.
11. Lay a straight edge on the top face of the carrier shaft end piece and rotate the assembled carrier shaft until the straight
edge is parallel to the belt surface.
• Note: - This step must be done carefully to ensure that the angle of the blades to the belt is correct.
12. Tighten bolts and nuts. Do not over tighten!
13. By means of spindle nuts adjust the scraper towards the belt surface until all the blades contact the belt surface.
14. Adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt.
15. The blades should now rest on the belt surface.
• Note: - Check that the set screws (13) are not touching the torsion arm. If they are still in contact with the arm continue
to adjust the scraper towards the belt in increments of half a turn of the lock nuts until the set screw (13) just clears the
torsion arm.
16. Slacken the set screws (13) four full turns and tighten the lock nuts.
17. Check that the complete scraper assembly can move freely up and down on the torsion mounts, and that all blades can
move freely.
18. Check that all nuts and bolts are firmly fastened.
19. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
20. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are moving freely and scraping in full contact with the belt surface. If further
adjustment is required, stop the conveyor and adjust the scraper half a turn of the spindle nuts towards the belt until all
blades are scraping satisfactory.
• Note: - Do not over adjust the scraper.
21. Check that the spindle lock nuts are firmly tightened.
22. To ensure future adjustment of the spindle nuts wrap thread with protective cloth, to protect the thread against corrosion,
rust and ingress of dust.
23. It may be necessary to install stabilising rollers to keep the belt surface flat and stop belt bounce.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

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

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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

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 E911 Head Pulley Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.

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 E951 Head Pulley Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

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 E955 Head Pulley Scraper 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new scraper has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to ensure the
scraper is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the scraper and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the 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 scraper components
• If fugitive material is built up on the scraper or in the transfer area
• If there is cover damage to the belt
• If there is vibration or bouncing of the scraper on the belt
• If a snub pulley is used, a check should be made for material build-up on the pulley
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for scraper maintenance.
6.3. 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 scraper to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the scraper blade and pole.
• Closely inspect the blade for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check blade for proper installation and condition. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full blade to belt contact.
• Inspect the scraper pole 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 scraper blade on the belt. Adjust the pressure if necessary, refer to
scraper model installation guide.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the scraper is
performing properly.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. All scrapers will be wrapped and clearly marked with the model number, scraper blade grade and belt width.
• Note: - Scrapers will be supplied with all nuts and bolts to complete the assembly and installation.
2. Referring to the parts list and installation data sheet check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for
the model and belt width of scraper ordered.
3. Normally scrapers are supplied with blades (3), torsion holders (4) and end stops (5) assembled on the carrier shaft (1). If
not, assemble as shown using a lithium base grease as a lubricant to ease future removal of blades. If necessary, use a
rubber mallet to tap the blades into the “V” track. Do not over-tighten end stop (5) set screws.
4. Check that the blades (3) are free to deflect forwards and backwards. If any blades foul those adjacent, slightly slacken
end stop (5) set screws, and tap the torsion holders (4) sideways until the blades (3) clear each other. Tighten end stop (5)
set screws.
• Note: - There should be 0,5mm gap between blades (3).
5. Proceed with installation as per installation guide.

1. Refer to the Assembly Instructions, Parts List and Parts list drawing to confirm that all the necessary parts have been
supplied and that the scraper is correctly assembled.
2. Remove mounting brackets (7) from nearside bearing assembly (9) and farside bearing assembly (8).
3. Referring to the installation data sheet and dimensions given in the dimension table determine the scraper work zone
and select the optimum position for the scraper.
4. After establishing the optimum position for the scraper on the head pulley, mark and cut out the near and farside chute
openings. The farside opening need only accommodate scraper adjustment.
• Note 1: - Shield the conveyor belt and head pulley to prevent burning during cutting and welding activities.
• Note 2: - The mounting brackets (7) may be omitted and the bearing plates bolted directly to the chute sides. Separate
chute access doors may then be required for inspection and maintenance access. Please consult a Brelko representative
for this installation option.
5. With reference to the installation data sheet select the most convenient location for the mounting brackets (7).
• Note : - Mounting brackets (7) can be welded or bolted to the chute sides.
6. Tack weld the near and farside mounting brackets (7) to the chute sides or bolt to structure.
7. Remove one or both carrier shaft (1) end caps and install scraper through nearside chute opening.
8. Position carrier (1) centrally with reference to belt edges and head pulley and attach the nearside bearing assembly (9)
and farside bearing assembly (8) to the mounting brackets (7).
9. Using nearside bearing assembly (9) and farside bearing assembly (8) as reference determine exact carrier (1) length,
mark off; remove carrier (1) and nearside bearing assembly (9) and farside bearing assembly (8).
10. Carefully cut carrier shaft (1) to required length and de-burr shaft ends, reposition carrier shaft (1) centrally with reference
to belt edges and head pulley.
11. Fit farside bearing bush (8a) over carrier shaft (1) end, and insert carrier shaft (1) end into farside bearing assembly (8).
Tighten bolts and nuts, finger tight only as further adjustment of the scraper will be required.
12. Fit nearside bearing bush (9a) over carrier shaft (1) end, and locate nearside bearing assembly (9) as shown. Tighten bolts
and nuts, finger tight only as further adjustment of the scraper will be required.
13. Complete welding of near and farside mounting brackets (7) or ensure all mounting brackets (7) nuts and bolts are firmly
fastened.
14. Locate tension unit (6) and insert holding bolt into matching holes between the nearside bearing assembly (9). Tighten
holding bolt and nut, finger tight only as further adjustment of the scraper will be required.
15. With reference to the dimension data sheet move scraper into the correct scraping position. Tighten bolts and nuts; do not
over tighten nuts and bolts as further adjustment of the scraper might be required.
16. Using large tool, turn tension unit to bias scraper against head pulley and insert holding bolt. The tensioner only needs to
be rotated until the first set of holding bolt holes between nearside bearing assemblies (9) align.
17. Firmly tighten all nuts and bolts.
18. Start the conveyor and check if all blades are in full contact with the belt surface. If further adjustment is required stop the
conveyor and adjust the scraper until the next set of holding bolt holes between nearside bearing assemblies (9) align or
until optimum cleaning is achieved.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Scrapers


Repair/replace Belt Scraper components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed
scraper damage due to accelerated blade wear, scraper damage due to blocked chutes, clip
joints/emergency belt repairs etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Open access door, if provided, and clear loose items about the spindle before
commencing with work.
7.3. Loosen the locknuts and then lower/raise the scrapers, as necessary.
7.4. If replacing scrapers, insert balance pipe – which must be longer than the carrier
shaft – into the one end of the shaft.
7.5. Loosen the shaft and turn it 180 degrees, that is, scraper tips pointing downward.
7.6. Remove one spindle on the intended exit end.
7.7. Slide out the scraper assembly from the intended exit end of the pipe.
7.8. Service the scraper on the platform.
7.9. Blade replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
Brelko nylon torsion holders have been designed to break out of the torsion holder
support v-track to protect the scraper, scraper mounting components, conveyor belt
and conveyor belt equipment against damage due to emergency clip joints, loose/
damaged splicing, belt protrusions, chute blockages etc. If torsion holders damaged
occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the torsion holders:
a. Remove and clean the damaged scraper to assess the amount of damage to the
scraper, the scraper torsion holders and scraper components.
b. If the scraper has been working for more than 4 weeks and/or there has been
significant blade wear remove and replace all the torsion holders and blades and
replace with new kits, this will eliminate belt damage due to uneven scraper torsion
holder and blades.
c. If the scraper has been working for 1~2 weeks replace only damaged torsion holders
and blades, however assess the damage and ensure the remaining torsion holders
will not cause any damage to the conveyor belt.
7.10. Scraper Adjustment:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for belt scraper model in use.
a. Reposition using the balance pipe.
b. Obtain sanction for test, or permission to adjust for performance evaluation.
c. Tighten all nuts and ensure that belt cleaning or scraper performance is acceptable.
d. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

maintain superior performance some service is required. When the Air Cannon is installed
a regular maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the Air
Cannon operates at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the
Air Cannon stops working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment (stationary or
operating) must be observed. Service tasks can be done only with the conveyor stopped and
by observing the correct lockout/tag-out procedures.

Note: Ensure the vessel is empty

AIR CANNON
BULK MATERIAL FLOW ACTIVATOR
Patented

GENERAL
ƒƒ Brelko Air Cannons are pneumatic, bulk material flow activating systems that quickly release compressed
air into a storage vessel to restore flow to material that is clinging, bridging, rat holing or arching. This
manual provides instructions for installing Air Cannons.

APPLICATIONS
ƒƒ Used to remove and prevent blockages and build-up of bulk material in silos, bins, hoppers, chutes etc.
ƒƒ Resolve bulk flow problems where other methods are expensive, use more energy, damage the storage
vessel, are excessively noisy and unreliable.

FEATURES
ƒƒ Unique diaphragm main valve results in extremely rapid operation and therefore more effective size for
size.
ƒƒ Only one moving part.
ƒƒ Easy maintenance, no need to remove air cannon.
ƒƒ Safe to operate and maintain.

4.4. Theory of Operation


The triggering mechanism is located in the upper cylindrical portion of the vessel and is an integral
part of the removable lid. When compressed air is introduced to the chamber above the diaphragm
via the 3-way and quick exhaust valves, the discharge is closed by the diaphragm. Simultaneously
the vessel is filled with compressed air through a non-return valve. This non-return valve closes off
when the quick release valve is triggered, thus preventing any reverse flow.
Why is a (preferably large) quick exhaust valve necessary? When the Air Cannon is triggered by
activating the 3-way valve, it is desirable that the diaphragm be displaced upwards as rapidly as
possible thus exposing the full discharge opening in the shortest possible time. To achieve this, the
air contained above the diaphragm must be vented as quickly as possible. The greatly superior
operating characteristics of the Brelko Air Cannons are a direct result of this combination of high
capacity and quality quick-exhaust valve with a light weight, positive seal diaphragm.
When the connecting hose (or tube) between the 3-way valve and quick-exhaust valve is vented to
the atmosphere the quick-exhaust valve reacts instantaneously and immediately opens the large
port to vent the chamber above the diaphragm. Release of pressure in the connection (max. 10m
long) is effected by moving (either manually or electrically) the 3-way valve from the “Fill” to the
“Vent” position. Why then is it not possible to mount an extra large 3-way valve directly on the lid so
that the quick-exhaust valve cost may be saved? There are two reasons:
• Firstly, a 3-way valve of comparable capacity to the quick-exhaust valve is relatively
expensive and does not have the efficiency of operation of such a quick-exhaust valve.
• Secondly, an electric cable as well as air supply would have to be laid to the Air Cannon
since manual operation would in most cases not be possible due to the fact that the units
usually have to be mounted in relatively inaccessible positions.
4.5. The Efficiency of an Air Cannon is determined by the following factors:
1. The cross sectional area of the quick-exhaust valve outlet and resulting from that:
2. The speed with which the diaphragm (or main valve) opens the vessels discharge tube.
3. The cross-section of the discharge tube.
4. The size of the air vessel.
5. The correct position of the air cannon.
6. The correct discharge angle.
The complete vessel, lid and discharge tube is coated with high grade polyamide plastic. This
provides protection against virtually all environmental conditions. The diaphragm is moulded from
heat resistant rubber (-30ºC to +100ºC) with a fabric core. No sparking can occur during operation.
All bolts, nuts and washers are zinc plated. The quick-exhaust valve and non-return valve are nickel
plated brass. “Klingerite” gaskets for the discharge tube mounting flanges, as well as suspension
chain with turn-buckle and hook (for cannon sizes BB025 upwards) are supplied with the units.
4.6. Advantages of Brelko Air Cannons with respect to all other manufacturers
For equal pressure vessel capacity the Brelko Air Cannons are more efficient because:
1. The diaphragm is very light.
2. The response time to move the diaphragm and open the vessel discharge tube is measured
in milliseconds.
3. The complete operating mechanism is contained on or under the lid and therefore very
easy to service and maintain.
4. The diaphragm requires no maintenance and has a very long life.
5. Not to be ignored, the Brelko Air Cannon is completely plastic coated, corrosion free and
may be used in the food industry without reserve.
6. Intrinsically safe, cannot fail and trap air under pressure.

4.7. Application
• Why blockages are always found or why do they occur, in certain bunkers or silos?
• How and where must Air Cannons be mounted?
• How must Cannons be used?
• How often must they be discharged?
1. Many circumstances and factors together provide the answer to the above questions. Good
practical experience and accumulated information can all contribute positively to the solution
of this problem. The following are general hints and recommendations.
2. When the free gravitational fall or flow of bulk material does not take place on a continuous
basis, a blockage will occur. This interruption of flow is due to too high a frictional force existing
between the bunker wall and material or when too high an internal friction in the bulk material
occurs when it consolidates.
3. The function of an Air Cannon is to reduce or eliminate these friction forces by introducing into
the bulk material a greater amount of air than the material can absorb in a very short space of
time (20-120 m/s dependent on the vessel size).
4. Build-up and compacting of bulk material in a chute, transfer tube, dust extraction duct, filter
outlets and other similar places can be combated or entirely prevented simply through blasting
the caked material from the wall.
5. In the case of blocked bunkers/silos the Air Cannons are normally mounted at an angle of
approximately 60º to the bunker wall, both in the vertical and conical part of the bunker/silo. In
this way, the friction between bulk material and bunker/silo wall, as well as the internal friction
of the bulk material are reduced so that flow is restored or maintained.
6. When a bulk material container (bunker/silo) has a flat bottom, a chimney can be formed above
the outlet opening. In such cases the Air Cannon discharge can be introduced vertically (from
the bottom) and the end of the discharge tube fitted with a bend in the direction of the outlet.
In addition, Air Cannons can be positioned to discharge from the sides of the container in the
direction of the outlet. Both positions result in a reduction of the internal friction and restore or
maintain normal flow.
7. In the case of a tall silo or bunker, blockages can occur when high pressures are exerted on the
material in the conical or outlet area of the silo. These high pressures are as a result of the height
of the material column or a sudden drop of large amounts of material. In these cases a number of
Air Cannons must be mounted in a spiral pattern on the conical or lower portion of the container.
These Air Cannons are then triggered sequentially from the lowest to the highest.
8. It may also be necessary to mount 2 or 3 units in the vicinity of the outlet with their discharges
directed at the outlet.

4.8. General Recommendations (See sketches 1, 2, 3, & 4)


1. With chimney formation and bridging (sketches 1 & 2) Air Cannons are mounted in the
vicinity of the outlet as well as in the parallel part of the silo.
2. When arching in the bunker/silo body or building-up on the conical part occurs (sketch 3 &
4) usually blasting on one plane is sufficient, i.e. when arching in the bunker/silo just after
the parallel position commences and with build-up at the top of the cone downwards along
the cone wall.

The effective range of the Air Cannon, the size of the bunker/silo and the number and size of the
outlets, together with material characteristics determine the number and sizes of the Air Cannons
required.
The following two tables give a rough indication of the number of canons in relation to the container
size and material characteristics for round silos and square or rectangular bunkers. To compare
round silos with square or rectangular bunkers the diameter of the silo must be multiplied by PI (3,
14) since square or rectangular bunkers are sized by perimeter length.

A further development is the use of internal air lances to dissipate the Air Cannon blast down and
sideways along the internal surface of the container. This is particular useful when there may be a
tendency for the blocked material to consolidate, cling to the container walls and in corners and the
Air Cannon blast a hole through it without moving much of the stagnant material.

6. Maintenance
Brelko Air Cannons are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. With all of the parts
that could possibly require attention being fitted to or under the lid of the Air Cannon, therefore
it is unnecessary to remove the Air Cannon for maintenance or repair. When the Air Cannon is
installed a regular maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the
Air Cannon operates at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before
the Air Cannon stops working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment (stationary or
operating) must be observed. The Air Cannon operates in silos, bins, hoppers, chutes etc. 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.
The only moving parts are:
• The seal in the quick-exhaust valve.
• The main outlet diaphragm.
These parts require no lubrication but it is recommended that the air supply is fitted with an
air-filter, lubricator and self draining water trap. The following steps will ensure maximum
operation of the installed Air Cannon(s); and will greatly reduce wear and fatigue of the moving
components as well as increasing the life of the Air Cannon(s). Frequency of these checks will
depend on the plants maintenance policy but it is recommended that it be done at least once
every two weeks.
Before any physical maintenance the following must be completed, failing to do so can lead to
severe personal injury or even loss of life.
• Isolate air supply to Air Cannon’s and disconnect air supply pipe from quick exhaust
valve.
• Discharge / fire Air Cannon’s.
6.1. Periodic Visual Inspection (Every 2-4 Weeks)
6.1.1. Air Supply
a. Check air supply, it should be at least 4 bar (gauge) and all supply line valves to be
open.
b. Check self draining water taps and ensure that they are free from any blockages
and that no water build-up is present in the receiver, if so; replace water trap or
remove blockage and drain water.
c. Check air filters, if air filters are dirty replace or clean them.
d. Listen for air filling the Air Cannon, if not; see trouble shooting below.
6.1.2. 3-Way Valve
a. The vent port should exhaust a small quantity of air, if not; repair or replace (see
instructions below).
b. Electric 3-Way solenoid valve should be heard to “click”, if not; repair or replace (see
instructions below).
6.1.3. Quick-exhaust Valve
a. Check if quick-exhaust valve on the lid vents, if not; repair or replace (see instructions
below).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Once installed (see instructions) the Air Cannon should remain pressurised even when not operating. This is to prevent the
ingress of material up the discharge pipe and fouling the main diaphragm.
2. Where the Air Cannons are electrically operated, the power supply should be isolated when they are out of use or during
maintenance. The air supply need only be interrupted during maintenance.
3. Frequency of firing is determined from actual conditions and should be reduced to the effective minimum to conserve air.
4. The Air Cannon should not be fired when there is no discharge from the container or if it is empty. Not only is this wasteful
but it could be detrimental to the overall effectiveness of the system.
5. At least once a year the Air Cannon should be inspected and opened to check the main diaphragm condition and for
internal corrosion. See maintenance instructions for correct procedure.

STANDARD SUPPLY INSTALLATION GUIDE- REF. DRW. No.: AIR-035


Every installation differs according to the circumstances but the following points must always be considered: -
1. The discharge pipe (1, 2 & 3) must be attached to the container wall with its outlet flush with the inside surface. This is to
prevent the introduction of a new obstacle, which can lead to further blockages.
2. On the lid of the Air Cannon there is a quick exhaust valve. Its outlet must be kept free and preferably point downwards
to prevent the accumulation of foreign material. An optional extra is the fitting of an exhaust silencer, which also acts as
a filter.
3. Due to the mass of the Air Cannon, use should be made of a suspension chain supplied with models 25 litre (BB025) and
larger.
4. The 3-way operating valve (manual or electric) should be no more than 10 metres from the Air Cannon. The vent port of
the 3-way operating valve must have an orifice of at least 6mm diameter.
5. The discharge air pipe should be kept as short as possible with a minimum of bends. Difficult installations requiring long
discharge pipes need to be investigated thoroughly, and could require a larger Air Cannon to be fitted to overcome
discharge losses.
6. Supply air pressure should be at least 4- bar with a maximum of 8-bar. If there is a possibility of the air pressure exceeding
8-bar, then a safety relief valve must be fitted in the supply line. Also if the air supply drops below 4-bar then a booster is
recommended to ensure efficient operation.

6. Maintenance
Brelko Universal Feedboots are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However,
to maintain superior performance some service is required. When the Universal Feedboot is
installed a regular maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the
Universal Feedboot operates at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed
before the Universal Feedboot stops working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment
(stationary or operating) must be observed. The Universal Feedboot operates at the transfer load
point 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Universal Feedboot has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Universal Feedboot is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the Universal Feedboot and belt can determine:
• That the Universal Feedboot is positioned correctly
• If there is damage to the UHMW polyethylene liners or other Universal Feedboot components.
• Wear on mounting bolts and other Universal Feedboot mounting components.
• If fugitive material is built up on the Universal Feedboot or under the transfer area.
• Is the conveyor belt in full contact with the Universal Feedboot whilst material is being
transported, or there is an approximate gap of 10mm between the conveyor belt and the
Universal Feedboot liners whilst no material is being transported.
• If there is cover damage to the belt.
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for Universal Feedboot maintenance.
6.3. 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 Universal Feedboot to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the Universal Feedboots frame and other components.
• Closely inspect the mounting components for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check the UHMW polyethylene liners for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check that the Universal Feedboot is positioned correctly. Reposition if needed.
• Inspect all fasteners for tightness and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
• Replace any worn or damaged components.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the Universal Feedboot
is performing properly.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: UNI-010


1. If not assembled refer to assembly instructions and DRW. No.: UNI-009 and check that all necessary parts have been
supplied for the belt width ordered.
2. Remove existing idlers and rolls from conveyor structure in the area where the feedboot is to be installed. Align the
feedboot to correspond with indicated belt direction.
3. With the feedboot wing panels (3) down, slide the feedboot from one side under the conveyor belt. Larger sizes will require
the use of mechanical lifting equipment.
4. Ensure that the feedboot is positioned so that the loading area is approximately in the centre.
5. Accurately align the feedboot in the direction of the belt travel.
6. Check that the centre of the feedboot is± 5-20mm lower than the bottom of the belt line. If not add spacers under the
transom (8) ends to raise the feedboot. If it needs to be lowered then the ends of the transoms need to be notched and the
hold down brackets refitted and welded.
7. Raise the wing panels (3) to the required troughing angle and tighten the support struts.
8. Check that the idlers immediately behind and ahead of the feedboot adequately bend and align the conveyor belt. If not
then fit the optional lead in rolls (7) and brackets (6) to the ends of the feedboot.
9. When satisfied that the alignment is correct, bolt down the feedboot to the conveyor stringers.
10. Check that the chute skirting is in correct contact with the belt, or preferably fit Brelko Keyskirt to provide a good sealing
arrangement.

7. Procedure for Replacing/Repairing Universal Feedboots


Repair/replace Universal Feedboot components when, general maintenance tasks are
preformed. Universal Feedboot damage due to over loading, blocked chutes etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Remove existing idlers and rolls from conveyor structure in the area where the feedboot
is to be installed. Align the feedboot to correspond with indicated belt direction.
7.3. With the feedboot wing panels (3) down, slide the feedboot from one side under the
conveyor belt. Larger sizes will require the use of mechanical lifting equipment.
7.4. Ensure that the feedboot is positioned so that the loading area is approximately in the
centre.
7.5. Accurately align the feedboot in the direction of the belt travel.
7.6. Check that the centre of the feedboot is± 5-20mm lower than the bottom of the belt line.
If not add spacers under the transom (8) ends to raise the feedboot. If it needs to be
lowered then the ends of the transoms need to be notched and the hold down brackets
refitted and welded.
7.7. Raise the wing panels (3) to the required troughing angle and tighten the support
struts.
7.8. Check that the idlers immediately behind and ahead of the feedboot adequately bend
and align the conveyor belt. If not then fit the optional lead in rolls (7) and brackets (6)
to the ends of the feedboot.
7.9. When satisfied that the alignment is correct, bolt down the feedboot to the conveyor
stringers.
7.10. Check that the chute skirting is in correct contact with the belt, or preferably fit Brelko
Keyskirt to provide a good sealing arrangement.

6. Maintenance
Brelko Combination Feedboots are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However,
to maintain superior performance some service is required. When the Combination Feedboot
is installed a regular maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that
the Combination Feedboot operates at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and
fixed before the Combination Feedboot stops working. All safety procedures for inspection of
equipment (stationary or operating) must be observed. The Combination Feedboot operates at
the transfer load point 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Combination Feedboot has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made
to ensure the Combination Feedboot is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
• A visual inspection of the Combination Feedboot and belt can determine:
• That the Combination Feedboot is positioned correctly
• If there is damage to the UHMW polyethylene liners or other Combination Feedboot
components.
• Wear on mounting bolts and other Combination Feedboot mounting components.
• If fugitive material is built up on the Combination Feedboot or under the transfer area.
• Is the conveyor belt in full contact with the Combination Feedboot whilst material is being
transported, or there is an approximate gap of 10mm between the conveyor belt and the
Combination Feedboot liners whilst no material is being transported.
• If there is cover damage to the belt.
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for Combination Feedboot maintenance.
6.3. 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 Combination Feedboot to perform the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the Combination Feedboots frame and other components.
• Closely inspect the mounting components for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check the UHMW polyethylene liners for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check that the Combination Feedboot is positioned correctly. Reposition if needed.
• Inspect all fasteners for tightness and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
• Replace any worn or damaged components.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the Combination
Feedboot is performing properly.

1. If not assembled refer to assembly instructions and DRW. No.; CMB-013 and check that all necessary parts have been
supplied for the belt width and troughing angled ordered.
2. Remove existing idlers and rolls from conveyor structure in the area where the feedboot is to be installed.
3. Slide the feedboot from one side under the conveyor belt. It may be necessary to remove one half of the feedboot panels.
Larger sizes will require the use of mechanical lifting equipment.
4. Ensure that the feedboot is positioned so that the loading area is approximately in the centre.
5. Accurately align the feedboot in the direction of the belt travel.
6. Check that the centre of the feedboot is ±5-20mm lower than the bottom of the belt line. If not add spacers under the
transom ends to raise the feedboot. If it needs to be lowered then the ends of the transoms (7) need to be notched and the
hold down brackets refitted and welded.
7. Check that the idlers immediately behind and ahead of the feedboot adequately bend and align the conveyor belt. If not
then fit the optional lead in rolls (9) and brackets (8) to the ends of the feedboot.
8. When satisfied that the alignment is correct, bolt down the feedboot to the conveyor stringers.
9. Check that the chute skirting is in correct contact with the belt, or preferably fit Brelko Keyskirt to provide a good sealing
arrangement.

6. Maintenance
Brelko Hi-impact Systems are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However, to
maintain superior performance some service is required. When the Hi-impact System is installed
a regular maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the Hi-impact
System operates at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the Hi-
impact System stops working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment (stationary or
operating) must be observed. The Hi-impact System operates at the transfer load point 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Hi-impact System has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Hi-impact System is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Hi-impact System and belt can determine:
• Check that the Hi-impact System is positioned correctly
• If there is damage to the garland impact idlers or other Hi-impact System components.
• Check that the “t-links” are orientated correctly, facing down.
• Wear on mounting bolts and other Hi-impact System mounting components.
• If fugitive material is built up on the Hi-impact System or under the transfer area.
• Is the conveyor belt in full contact with the Hi-impact System garland impact idlers.
• If there is cover damage to the belt.
• If any of the above conditions exist, a decision should be made on when the conveyor can
be stopped for Hi-impact System maintenance.
6.3. Routine Physical Inspection (every 6~8 weeks)
When the conveyor is not in operation and properly locked and tagged out perform a physical
inspection of the Hi-impact System performing the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the Hi-impact Systems frame and other components.
• Closely inspect the mounting components for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check that the “t-links” are orientated correctly, facing down. Repair if needed.
• Check the garland impact idlers for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Check that the Hi-impact System is positioned correctly. Reposition if needed.
• Ensure the conveyor belt is in full contact with the Hi-impact System garland impact idlers.
• Inspect all fasteners for tightness and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
• Replace any worn or damaged components.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the Hi-impact System
is performing properly.

stopped and by observing the correct lockout/tag-out procedures.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Belt Tracking System has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Belt Tracking System is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Belt Tracking System and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the correct height for optimal roller contact;
• If the rollers are worn and needs to be replaced;
• If there is damage to the bearing or other components; and,
• If fugitive material is built up on the Belt Tracking System.
If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor
can be stopped for Belt Tracking Maintenance.
6.3. Routine Physical Inspection (every 6~8 weeks)
When the conveyor is not in operation and properly locked and tagged out perform a physical
inspection of the Belt Tracking System performing the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the Belt Tracking System.
• Closely inspect rollers for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full roller to belt contact;
• Inspect the Belt Tracking System for damage;
• Inspect all fasteners for tightness and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
• Replace any worn or damaged components i.e. bearings etc.
• Check the pressure of the Belt Tracking System on the belt. Adjust pressure if necessary.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the Belt Tracking
System is performing properly.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Referring to the parts list, check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for the model and belt width of
Belt Tracking System ordered.
2. Proceed with installation as per installation guide.

SURVEY and GUIDELINES


SURVEY
1. Before installing the Belt Tracking System, carefully inspect the entire length of the conveyor belt. Identify areas of
conveyor belt misalignment. Contributing factors include concave pulleys, where the centre of the pulley has collapsed,
and uneven rubber wear on pulleys.
2. Tell-tale marks indicate problem areas where a drifting conveyor belt has come into contact with the structure for instance,
damaged drop brackets and structure.
3. Tail, head and take-up pulleys identify areas of greatest damage caused by badly aligned belts.

GUIDELINES
1. One correctly installed Belt Tracking System can control misalignment for about 30 metres of belt and need only be
installed on areas where misalignment occurs.
2. Always install the Belt Tracking System ahead of the problem area.
3. To obtain maximum belt alignment, use the maximum face length of the Belt Tracking System. This ensures that you
obtain the optimum working life from the Belt Tracking System.
4. Insufficient traction between the belt centralising idler frame set and the belt leads to severe rubber wear. Although the
Belt Tracking System will kick in and control the belt, there won’t be enough tension to successfully centre the belt on the
Belt Tracking System. This results in chafing of the Belt Tracking System rubber lagged rollers. By increasing the tension;
the Belt Tracking System will centralise the belt and return to a state of equilibrium.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: BTT-008


1. After identifying the problem area on the load-carrying side of the belt, prepare to install the Belt Tracking System ahead
of the problem area, ensuring that it is installed before transitional idlers and after loading chutes.
2. Position the Belt Tracking System in place of an existing idler set, before the problem area. For heavy laden belts, install
the Belt Tracking System between two of the existing idler sets, before the problem area.
• Note: The Belt Tracking System is direction sensitive and therefore has to be installed correctly. Each Belt Tracking
System has “Belt Direction Labels” on the frame.
3. Bolt the Belt Tracking System on to the structure. Before tightening, ensure the Belt Tracking System is perpendicular to the
structure. Once completed, tighten all bolts.
• Note: Ensure all the rollers contact the belt.
4. Installation is now complete, start the conveyor belt to test the Belt Tracking System.
5. If the problem still persists, knock the existing standard troughing frames perpendicular to the structure before and after
the Belt Tracking System.
6. Remove any other tracking devices in front of or behind the Belt Tracking System, as they will reduce or interfere with the
performance of the Belt Tracking System.

CAUTION!!!

This equipment should only be installed, operated & maintained by people com-
petent and familiar with conveyor systems. Improper use or adjustment can result
in serious personal injury or damage to equipment.

IF IN DOUBT ASK!!!

6. Maintenance
Brelko Belt Tracking Systems are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However, to
maintain superior performance some service is required. When the Belt Tracking System(s) is
installed a regular maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the
Belt Tracking System operates at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed
before the Belt Tracking System stops working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment
(stationary or operating) must be observed. Service tasks can be done only with the conveyor
stopped and by observing the correct lockout/tag-out procedures.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Belt Tracking System has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Belt Tracking System is performing properly. Make adjustments as needed.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Belt Tracking System and belt can determine:
• If the mounts are adjusted at the correct height for optimal roller contact;
• If the rollers are worn and needs to be replaced;
• If there is damage to the bearing or other components; and,
• If fugitive material is built up on the Belt Tracking System.
If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor
can be stopped for Belt Tracking Maintenance.
6.3. Routine Physical Inspection (every 6~8 weeks)
When the conveyor is not in operation and properly locked and tagged out perform a physical
inspection of the Belt Tracking System performing the following tasks:
• Clean material build-up off of the Belt Tracking System.
• Closely inspect rollers for wear and any damage. Replace if needed.
• Ensure full roller to belt contact;
• Inspect the Belt Tracking System for damage;
• Inspect all fasteners for tightness and wear. Tighten or replace as needed.
• Replace any worn or damaged components i.e. bearings etc.
• Check the pressure of the Belt Tracking System on the belt. Adjust pressure if necessary.
When maintenance tasks are completed, test run the conveyor to ensure the Belt Tracking
System is performing properly.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Referring to the parts list, check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for the model and belt width of
Belt Tracking System ordered.
2. Proceed with installation as per installation guide.

SURVEY and GUIDELINES


SURVEY
1. Before installing the Belt Tracking System, carefully inspect the entire length of the conveyor belt. Identify areas of
conveyor belt misalignment. Contributing factors include concave pulleys, where the centre of the pulley has collapsed,
and uneven rubber wear on pulleys.
2. Tell-tale marks indicate problem areas where a drifting conveyor belt has come into contact with the structure for instance,
damaged drop brackets and structure.
3. Tail, head and take-up pulleys identify areas of greatest damage caused by badly aligned belts.

GUIDELINES
1. One correctly installed Belt Tracking System can control misalignment for about 30 metres of belt and need only be
installed on areas where misalignment occurs.
2. Always install the Belt Tracking System ahead of the problem area.
3. To obtain maximum belt alignment, use the maximum face length of the Belt Tracking System. This ensures that you
obtain the optimum working life from the Belt Tracking System.
4. Insufficient traction between the belt centralising idler frame set and the belt leads to severe rubber wear. Although the
Belt Tracking System will kick in and control the belt, there won’t be enough tension to successfully centre the belt on the
Belt Tracking System. This results in chafing of the Belt Tracking System rubber lagged rollers. By increasing the tension;
the Belt Tracking System will centralise the belt and return to a state of equilibrium.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: BTR-008


1. After identifying the problem area on the return side of the belt, prepare to install the Belt Tracking System ahead of the
problem area, ensuring that it is installed ahead of the tail pulley.
2. Position the Belt Tracking System in place of an existing return idler set, before the problem area.
• Note: The Belt Tracking System is direction sensitive and therefore has to be installed correctly. Each Belt Tracking
System has “Belt Direction Labels” on the frame.
3. Bolt the Belt Tracking System on to the structure. Before tightening, ensure the Belt Tracking System is perpendicular to the
structure. Once completed, tighten all bolts.
• Note: Ensure all the rollers contact the belt.
4. Installation is now complete, start the conveyor belt to test the Belt Tracking System.
5. If the problem still persists, knock the existing standard troughing frames perpendicular to the structure before and after
the Belt Tracking System.
6. Remove any other tracking devices in front of or behind the Belt Tracking System, as they will reduce or interfere with the
performance of the Belt Tracking System.

CAUTION!!!

This equipment should only be installed, operated & maintained by people com-
petent and familiar with conveyor systems. Improper use or adjustment can result
in serious personal injury or damage to equipment.

superior performance some service is required. When the Keyskirt® is installed a regular
maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the Keyskirt® operates
at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the Keyskirt® stops
working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment (stationary or operating) must be
observed. 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.

6. Maintenance
Brelko Keyskirt® is designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However, to maintain
superior performance some service is required. When the Keyskirt® is installed a regular
maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the Keyskirt® operates
at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the Keyskirt® stops

observed. 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Brelko Keyskirt® has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Keyskirt® and the belt can determine:
• Check Keyskirt® for wear;
• Make sure that the clamps are tight;
• Make sure that the Keyskirt® is resting on the conveyor belt.
If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor
can be stopped for Keyskirt® Maintenance. When maintenance tasks are completed, test run
the conveyor to ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: KS1-009, KS1-023 & KS1-024


1. Select the most appropriate size and type of Keyskirt® for the application. Generally Size -1 is used for belt widths up to
900mm, Size -2 for wider belts up to 1200mm and Size -4 for wider belts. Size -3 skirting being used where the material
particle size and drop height is such that Size -1, -2 & -4 may be damaged. White chemical grade Size -1 Keyskirt® is
available with stainless steel clamp and channel track.
2. Ensure that the chute / belt clearance is sufficient as shown on the relevant drawings.
3. Mark out and weld the channel backing strips to the chute sides as shown on the drawing.
• Note: If no backing strip is used refer to technical bulletin KEY1 – 01/99, available on request.
4. Where there is a long run of skirting check that the drag is not excessive. (Refer to data – see DRW. No.: KS1-007). It may be
necessary to adjust the mounting angle of Size - 1 and -2 Keyskirt® to reduce drag. Brelko “KeyKlamps” are recommended
for quick replacement of Keyskirt®.
5. Size -1 and -2 Keyskirt® is supplied in 10m lengths and Size 4 in 5m or 10m lengths. They can be cut to size and also joined
using suitable cold splicing compounds. (See technical bulletin KEY2 - 01/99, available on request).
6. Keyskirt® should be replaced when the ribs are worn away.
7. No running adjustments are required.
8. To further enhance the sealing benefit of Keyskirt® we recommend the installation of Brelko Feedboots at the various
conveyor load points.
9. Ensure that the conveyor belt has been properly aligned and is tracking true so as to avoid Keyskirt® slipping off the belt
edge.

6. Maintenance
Brelko Keyskirt® is designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However, to maintain
superior performance some service is required. When the Keyskirt® is installed a regular
maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the Keyskirt® operates
at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the Keyskirt® stops
working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment (stationary or operating) must be
observed. 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Brelko Keyskirt® has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Keyskirt® and the belt can determine:
• Check Keyskirt® for wear;
• Make sure that the clamps are tight;
• Make sure that the Keyskirt® is resting on the conveyor belt.
If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor
can be stopped for Keyskirt® Maintenance. When maintenance tasks are completed, test run
the conveyor to ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: KS2-006, KS2-023 & KS2-024


1. Select the most appropriate size and type of Keyskirt® for the application. Generally Size -1 is used for belt widths up to
900mm, Size -2 for wider belts up to 1200mm and Size -4 for wider belts. Size -3 skirting being used where the material
particle size and drop height is such that Size -1, -2 & -4 may be damaged. White chemical grade Size -1 Keyskirt® is
available with stainless steel clamp and channel track.
2. Ensure that the chute / belt clearance is sufficient as shown on the relevant drawings.
3. Mark out and weld the channel backing strips to the chute sides as shown on the drawing.
• Note: - If no backing strip is used refer to technical bulletin KEY1 – 01/99, available on request.
4. Where there is a long run of skirting check that the drag is not excessive. (Refer to data – see DRW. No.: KS2-004). It may be
necessary to adjust the mounting angle of Size - 1 and -2 Keyskirt® to reduce drag. Brelko “KeyKlamps” are recommended
for quick replacement of Keyskirt.
5. Size -1 and -2 Keyskirt® is supplied in 10m lengths and Size 4 in 5m or 10m lengths. They can be cut to size and also joined
using suitable cold splicing compounds. (See technical bulletin KEY2 - 01/99, available on request).
6. Keyskirt® should be replaced when the ribs are worn away.
7. No running adjustments are required.
8. To further enhance the sealing benefit of Keyskirt® we recommend the installation of Brelko Feedboots at the various
conveyor load points.
9. Ensure that the conveyor belt has been properly aligned and is tracking true so as to avoid Keyskirt® slipping off the belt
edge.

7. Procedure for Replacing Keyskirt®


Repair/replace Keyskirt® components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed,
damage due to accelerated wear, Keyskirt® damage due to clip joints, overloading etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Loosen the locknuts and then remove the Keyskirt.
7.3. Keyskirt® replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for Keyskirt® model in use.
If Keyskirt® damaged occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the
Keyskirt:
7.3.1. Ensure that the chute / belt clearance is sufficient as shown on the relevant drawings.
7.3.2. Mark out and weld the channel backing strips to the chute sides as shown on the
drawing.
Note: If no backing strip is used refer to technical bulletin KEY1 – 01/99, available on
request.
7.3.3. Where there is a long run of skirting check that the drag is not excessive. (Refer to
data – see DRW. No.: KS1-007). It may be necessary to adjust the mounting angle
of the Keyskirt® to reduce drag. Brelko “KeyKlamps” are recommended for quick
replacement of Keyskirt.
7.3.4. Keyskirt® is supplied in 10m lengths. They can be cut to size and also joined using
suitable cold splicing compounds. (See technical bulletin KEY2 - 01/99, available on
request).
7.3.5. Keyskirt® should be replaced when the ribs are worn away.
7.3.6. No running adjustments are required.
7.3.7. To further enhance the sealing benefit of Keyskirt® we recommend the installation of
Brelko Feedboots at the various conveyor load points.
7.3.8. Ensure that the conveyor belt has been properly aligned and is tracking true so as to
avoid Keyskirt® slipping off the belt edge.
7.3.9. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

done only with the conveyor stopped and by observing the correct lockout/Tag-out procedures.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Brelko Keyskirt® has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Keyskirt® and the belt can determine:
• Check Keyskirt® for wear;
• Make sure that the clamps are tight;
• Make sure that the Keyskirt® is resting on the conveyor belt.
If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor
can be stopped for Keyskirt® Maintenance. When maintenance tasks are completed, test run
the conveyor to ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.

7. Procedure for Replacing Keyskirt®


Repair/replace Keyskirt® components when, general maintenance tasks are preformed,
damage due to accelerated wear, Keyskirt® damage due to clip joints, overloading etc.
7.1. Request permit to work from an authorised person, who will isolate and lock out the
belt.
7.2. Loosen the locknuts and then remove the Keyskirt®.
7.3. Keyskirt® replacement:
Refer to Brelko installation instructions for Keyskirt® model in use.
If Keyskirt® damaged occur follow the steps below to replace individual or all of the
Keyskirt:
7.3.1. Ensure that the chute / belt clearance is sufficient as shown on the relevant drawings.
7.3.2. Mark out and weld the channel backing strips to the chute sides as shown on the
drawing.
Note: If no backing strip is used refer to technical bulletin KEY1 – 01/99, available on
request.
7.3.3. Where there is a long run of skirting check that the drag is not excessive. (Refer to
data – see DRW. No.: KS1-007). It may be necessary to adjust the mounting angle
of the Keyskirt® to reduce drag. Brelko “KeyKlamps” are recommended for quick
replacement of Keyskirt®.
7.3.4. Keyskirt® is supplied in 10m lengths. They can be cut to size and also joined using
suitable cold splicing compounds. (See technical bulletin KEY2 - 01/99, available on
request).
7.3.5. Keyskirt® should be replaced when the ribs are worn away.
7.3.6. No running adjustments are required.
7.3.7. To further enhance the sealing benefit of Keyskirt® we recommend the installation of
Brelko Feedboots at the various conveyor load points.
7.3.8. Ensure that the conveyor belt has been properly aligned and is tracking true so as to
avoid Keyskirt® slipping off the belt edge.
7.3.9. Clear up any loose items which resulted from your work.

at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the Keyskirt® stops

done only with the conveyor stopped and by observing the correct lockout/Tag-out procedures.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Brelko Keyskirt® has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Keyskirt® and the belt can determine:
• Check Keyskirt® for wear;
• Make sure that the clamps are tight;
• Make sure that the Keyskirt® is resting on the conveyor belt.
If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor
can be stopped for Keyskirt® Maintenance. When maintenance tasks are completed, test run
the conveyor to ensure the Keyskirt® is performing properly.

INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRW. No.: KS4-003, KS4-023 & KS4-024


1. Select the most appropriate size and type of Keyskirt® for the application. Generally Size -1 is used for belt widths up to
900mm, Size -2 for wider belts up to 1200mm and Size -4 for wider belts. Size -3 skirting being used where the material
particle size and drop height is such that Size -1, -2 & -4 may be damaged. White chemical grade Size -1 Keyskirt is
available with stainless steel clamp and channel track.
2. Ensure that the chute / belt clearance is sufficient as shown on the relevant drawings.
3. Mark out and weld the channel backing strips to the chute sides as shown on the drawing.
• Note: - If no backing strip is used refer to technical bulletin KEY1 – 01/99, available on request.
4. Where there is a long run of skirting check that the drag is not excessive. (Refer to data – see DRW. No.: KS4-001). It may be
necessary to adjust the mounting angle of Size - 1 and -2 Keyskirt to reduce drag. Brelko “KeyKlamps” are recommended
for quick replacement of Keyskirt.
5. Size -1 and -2 Keyskirt is supplied in 10m lengths and Size 4 in 5m or 10m lengths. They can be cut to size and also joined
using suitable cold splicing compounds. (See technical bulletin KEY2 - 01/99, available on request).
6. Keyskirt should be replaced when the ribs are worn away.
7. No running adjustments are required.
8. To further enhance the sealing benefit of Keyskirt we recommend the installation of Brelko Feedboots at the various
conveyor load points.
9. Ensure that the conveyor belt has been properly aligned and is tracking true so as to avoid Keyskirt slipping off the belt
edge.

6. Maintenance
Brelko Keyliner™ is designed to operate with minimum maintenance. However, to maintain
superior performance some service is required. When the Keyliner™ is installed a regular
maintenance program should be set up. This program will ensure that the Keyliner™ operates
at optimal efficiency and problems can be identified and fixed before the Keyliner™ stops
working. All safety procedures for inspection of equipment (stationary or operating) must be
observed. 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.
6.1. New Installation
After the new Brelko Keyliner™ has run for a few days a visual inspection should be made to
ensure the Keyliner™ is performing properly.
6.2. Routine Visual Inspection (every 2~4 weeks)
A visual inspection of the Keyliner™ and the belt can determine:
• Check Keyliner™ for wear;
• Make sure that the locking strips are tight;
• Make sure that the Keyliner™ is resting on top of one another and is in contact with the chute
side wall.
If any of the above conditions exist, a determination should be made on when the conveyor
can be stopped for Keyliner™ Maintenance. When maintenance tasks are completed, test run
the conveyor to ensure the Keyliner™ is performing properly.

!!!WARNING!!!
General Safety Procedures
Belt 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 Guidelines


There 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.

All technical and dimensional information subject to change. All general Terms and Conditions of sale, including limitations of our liability, apply to all products and services sold.
