During a recent site inspection, the DCCD technical team discovered a common issue in aggregate conveyor lines: excessive material spillage and belt carryback caused by wet materials. Despite the moderate belt width and speed, every conveyor line was experiencing overflow problems, primarily due to the high moisture content of the transported material.

The investigation identified two major issues:

The existing conveyor belt cleaners were made of low-durability materials and wore out quickly.

Improper installation position of the belt cleaners contributed to severe carryback problems.

To address this, DCCD recommended replacing the current belt cleaners with the DCCD Slurry Belt Cleaner, a product engineered specifically for wet bulk materials. This advanced cleaner uses abrasion-resistant alloy blades and a self-adjusting pressure system, ensuring deep and consistent cleaning without frequent maintenance.

The team re-measured the installation area and fine-tuned the installation angle and tensioning. The customer’s technical engineers highly approved the plan. The upgrade is expected to:

Reduce spillage to nearly zero

Cut down cleaning-related downtime by up to 80%

DCCD continues to provide tailored solutions for the bulk material handling industry, enhancing efficiency, safety, and operational reliability.
