Primary Cleaners
The Advantage of American Eagle Belt Cleaners
The ACT Group Primary Belt Cleaner offerings are engineered to clean bulk material from conveyor belts and can accommodate belt widths up to 120 inches (3,000 mm) with belt speeds up to 2,000 fpm (10 m/s). Our products are manufactured with the highest-quality steel, so they are durable and rugged.
Plus, Martin Engineering is the worldwide leader in the development of high-performance urethanes for specialized applications, which means our primary cleaners keep conveyor systems cleaner, safer and more productive. Our belt cleaners are also engineered to be easy to maintain, including the installation of new blades.
Our technicians and engineers are available to provide expert advice and assistance on these products and all of your bulk material handling questions and problems. Please contact us today and let us help!
The American Eagle patented Eagle Torsion system was designed around a heavy-duty stainless-steel spring, which provides even and positive tension, unlike those of our competitors. Instead of using inaccurate, pre-located holes, you’ll have the option of a full 360-degree adjustment, allowing for increased accuracy. Held in place by a heavy-duty tab on either side, the spring is set in an Eagle Torsion collar, which can be set to the proper tension using either our own indicator rings or a standard torque wrench. Ease of assembly and installation leads to more productive time for your customer.
American Eagle now presents a new addition to our primary belt cleaner line. In addition to the HP/HD series, our Flagship primary belt cleaners with the open spring system, we’d like to introduce the ECT series, with an enclosed spring system, with the same durability and attention to detail you’ve come to expect from American Eagle.
