What is the purpose of a belt scraper?

Belt scrapers are used to remove material residues from the surface of conveyor belts, reducing contamination and wear in the conveyor system.

Which type of scraper blade should I choose?

The choice depends on the material you are handling. For heavy industry and demanding cleaning, carbide blades are often a good choice. Polyurethane is a durable material that works in most environments, and we have products for both heavy-duty environments and sensitive applications.

How often should parts of a belt scraper be replaced?

It varies depending on operating conditions, but regular visual inspection and preventive replacing worn parts is recommended to avoid sudden operational stoppages.

Can I combine parts from different manufacturers?

Vendig's segments/scraper strips do not work as spare parts for other manufacturers' belt scrapers, or vice versa. However, you can choose a pre-scraper from Vendig even if you have a fine scraper from another supplier. Since all conveyors are different, a custom mounting may be needed to make it work on your specific conveyor. Vendig is happy to assist with this if needed.
