Secondary wiper Y-Type from Flexco for high cleaning performance
Material carryback is one of the main causes of problems with conveyor belt systems. In contrast, operators use head scrapers for coarse material and secondary scrapers for fine cleaning.
In many cases, more than 90 percent of the carryback can be removed in this way. With the new Y-Type, Flexco has a flexible secondary scraper in its range that can be equipped with different polyurethane and carbide blades.
For operators conveying large quantities of dry food, Flexco also offers the Y-Type secondary cleaner with a chemical-resistant and food-approved polyurethane blade. No matter what application the Y-Type is used for, it improves belt cleaning and reduces routine maintenance. Flexco offers this flexible solution for normal and heavy-duty applications. It is therefore available with a maximum belt speed of three and 3.8 meters per second. A spring tensioning device ensures constant pressure of the blade on the belt at all times, thus ensuring thorough fine cleaning. The 75 millimeter wide blade segments also adapt to worn or damaged belts.

The quick-release axle has a diameter of 60 millimetres for normal applications and 72 millimetres for heavy-duty applications. Depending on the application, the Y-type is suitable for belt widths from 450 to 1,200 millimetres (normal) and from 900 to 1,800 millimetres for belts subject to heavy loads. It can be used at temperatures from minus 35 to 82 degrees Celsius. Clearly visible wear markings indicate whether they need to be replaced. The service employee can remove and replace the segments individually or all at the same time as a complete cassette.
