Flexco recently introduced the FMS medium-duty secondary cleaner to its complete line of belt cleaning products. “The simple, yet durable, design of the cleaner provides quality cleaning performance at an affordable price,” Flexco says.

Made with heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant powder coating, the FMS is ideal for use on mining conveyors with belt speeds up to 5 m/s. It can be used for belt widths ranging from 450 mm to 1,800 mm, with additional sizes available upon request.

The thin hard edges of the 150 mm wide metal blades deliver high cleaning efficiency and long wear life, while the spring tensioner ensures that there is consistent blade-to-belt interaction and constant pressure on the belt.

Impact-resistant C-Tip tungsten carbide blades are available for use with Flexco mechanical splices.  “The spring cushion allows the C-tips to move away from a passing splice without damage and with minimal cleaning disruption,” said Ryan Grevenstuk, senior product manager for Flexco. “V-tips, for use with vulcanized belts, are also available on the FMS.”

When combined with the MSP Standard Mine-Duty Precleaner and or the MMP Medium Mine-Duty Precleaner, the system aims to provide optimal cleaning for tough applications.
