1.1 General Introduction

Section 1 – Important Information

We at Flexco are very pleased that you have selected a MHCP Precleaner for your conveyor system.

is manual will help you to understand the operation of this product and assist you in making it work up to

its maximum eciency over its lifetime of service.

It is essential for safe and ecient operation that the information and guidelines presented be properly

understood and implemented. is manual will provide safety precautions, installation instructions,

maintenance procedures and troubleshooting tips.

If, however, you have any questions or problems that are not covered, please visit our web site or contact our

Customer Service Department:

Customer Service: 1-800-541-8028

Visit www.ﬂexco.com for other Flexco locations and products.

Please read this manual thoroughly and pass it on to any others who will be directly responsible for

installation, operation and maintenance of this cleaner. While we have tried to make the installation and

service tasks as easy and simple as possible, it does however require correct installation and regular

inspections and adjustments to maintain top working condition.

1.2 User Benets

Correct installation and regular maintenance will provide the following benets for your operation:

• Reduced conveyor downtime

• Reduced man-hour labor

• Lower maintenance budget costs

• Increased service life for the belt cleaner and other conveyor components

1.3 Service Option

e MHCP Precleaner is designed to be easily installed and serviced by your on-site personnel. However, if

you would prefer complete turn-key factory service, please contact your local Flexco Field Representative.

Section 2 – Safety Considerations and Precautions

Before installing and operating the MHCP Precleaner, it is important to review and understand the following safety information.

There are set-up, maintenance and operational activities involving both stationary and operating conveyors. Each case has a safety

protocol.

2.1 Stationary Conveyors

The following activities are performed on stationary conveyors:

• Installation • Blade replacement • Repairs

• Tension adjustments • Cleaning

DANGER

WARNING

It is imperative that OSHA/MSHA Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)

regulations, 29 CFR 1910.147, be followed before undertaking

the preceding activities. Failure to use LOTO exposes workers

to uncontrolled behavior of the belt cleaner caused by

movement of the conveyor belt. Severe injury or death can

result.

Before working:

• Lockout/Tagout the conveyor power source

• Disengage any takeups

• Clear the conveyor belt or clamp securely in place

Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

• Safety eyewear

• Hardhats

• Safety footwear

Close quarters, springs and heavy components create a

worksite that compromises a worker’s eyes, feet and skull.

PPE must be worn to control the foreseeable hazards

associated with conveyor belt cleaners. Serious injuries

can be avoided.

2.2 Operating Conveyors

There are two routine tasks that must be performed while the conveyor is running:

• Inspection of the cleaning performance

• Dynamic troubleshooting

Every belt cleaner is an in-running nip hazard. Never

touch or prod an operating cleaner. Cleaner hazards cause

instantaneous amputation and entrapment.

Never adjust anything on an operating cleaner.

Unforseeable belt projections and tears can catch on

cleaners and cause violent movements of the cleaner

structure. Flailing hardware can cause serious injury

or death.

Belt cleaners can become projectile hazards. Stay as far from

the cleaner as practical and use safety eyewear and headgear.

Missiles can inflict serious injury.

3.1 Checklist

Section 3 – Pre-Installation Checks and Options

• Check that the cleaner size is correct for the beltline width

• Check the belt cleaner carton and make sure all the parts are included

• Review the “Tools Needed” list on the top of the installation instructions

• Check the conveyor site:

- Will the cleaner be installed on a chute

- Are there obstructions that may require cleaner location adjustments

(see 3.2 – Cleaner Location Adjustments)

- Is the install on an open head pulley requiring mounting structure

(see 3.3 – Optional Installation Accessories)

In certain applications it is necessary to modify the location of the precleaner pole due to permanent obstacles that obstruct the

desired location. Relocating the pole location can be done easily and does not hinder the performance of the cleaner as long as the

“C” dimension is maintained.

NOTE: In the following example we will be lowering the pole location in the “Y” direction, but the same method could also be

applied in the “X” direction.

Conveyor situation:

Pulley Diameter: 36"

X = 18"

Y = 14 3/8"

C = 23"

1. Determine the given location dimensions and define the change needed. After laying out the given X & Y dimensions,

determine the distance of the modification required for adequate clearance of the pole and tensioning system. (In the example

we decide to lower the pole 2" to clear the support structure).

2. Write down known dimensions. We can now determine two of the three required dimension which will allow us to find the

third. We know we cannot alter the “C” dimension, so this will remain the same. Also we are required to lower the unit in the “Y”

dimension 2", so we add 2" to the given “Y” dimension.

X = ?"

Y =14 3/8+2=16 3/8"

C = 23"

3.2 Cleaner Location Adjustments

Section 3 – Pre-Installation Checks and Options

3. Determine final dimension. On a flat vertical surface, using

a level, draw one horizontal line and one vertical line creating

a right triangle (Fig 3a). Measure down from the intersection

the determined “Y” dimension and mark (Fig 3b). With the

tape measure starting at the modified “Y” mark, swing the tape

across the “X” line and mark at the “C” dimension where it

crosses the “X” line (Fig 3c). Measure from the intersection to

the “C” intersection and this will be your new “X” dimension

(Fig. 3d).

X = 16 1/8"

Y = 16 3/8"

C = 23"

Section 4 – Installation Instructions

Physically lock out and tag the conveyor at the power source before you

begin cleaner installation.

1. Find the X, Y & C specifications. Measure the pulley diameter

(including the belt and the lagging) (Fig. 1).

Pulley Diameter ______"; X=______"; Y=______"; C=______".

(Adjustments can be made to the X & Y coordinates to move away

from obstacles as long as the C dimension remains constant.)

CAUTION: Components may be heavy. Use safety-approved lifting procedures.

2. Lay out the dimensions on the chute wall. Measure out the X dimension horizontally

from the center of the pulley shaft and mark. (NOTE: It may be easier to put a level on

top of the pulley shaft, draw a horizontal line and then measure down half the diameter

of the shaft and make a line from the front of the shaft. Now subtract half the pulley shaft

diameter from the X coordinate and measure on the line and make a mark.) Then measure

down vertically the Y dimension and mark. This is the correct position for the center of the

cleaner pole (Fig. 2). Lay out and mark the same dimensions on the other side.

3. Mark and cut the mounting base holes. Using the mounting base

template provided in the instruction packet, position the large pole

hole of the template on the chute with the hole notches aligned with

the layout lines. Trace the pole hole and mounting holes (Fig. 3). Each

base can be mounted in any position 360° around the pole as long as

the pole’s center point does not change. Cut the holes on both sides of

the chute.

4. Assemble the extender poles to the center pole. Insert the extender

poles through the chute holes and into the center pole and make sure

the locating bolt holes align with the center pole holes (holes are offset

to the lower half). Position the center pole with the welded nuts and

locking bolts on one side facing down and on the adjoining side facing

away from the head pulley (Fig. 4). Leave the locking bolts loose.

5. Install the mounting bases. Bolt

the mounting bases to the chute

with the bolts provided (Fig. 5).

6. Install the blade cartridge. Place the blade cartridge onto the center pole.

Adjust the extender poles until the holes align with the holes in the center pole

and lock the cartridge into place with the two bolts, washers and nuts (Fig. 6).

NOTE: Be sure at least 6"of the extender pole extends out of the mounting base

on each side for tensioner installation. Adjust the extender poles in the center

pole if more or less length is needed.
