A conveyor belt scraper (100) comprising a mounting base (110) adapted to be mounted on a support structure. A pivot body 300 is pivotally connected to the mounting base (110). First and second scraper blades (500), are secured to the pivot body (300), wherein a scraping tip (520) of the first scraper blade (500) and a scraping tip (530) of the second scraper blade (500) are separated by a space and the scraping tips (520, 530) each extend generally parallel to a pivot axis of the pivot body (300). The pivot assembly (300) is pivotal about the pivot axis so that a position of each scraper tip (520, 530) is variable.

A conveyor system of a sugarcane harvesting machine includes an inclined conveyor having a first shaft at a lower end and a second shaft at an upper end thereof. The belt is driven along the inclined conveyor between the first shaft and the second shaft, and the belt includes an upper portion and a lower portion between the lower end and the upper end. A floor is partially disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion of the belt, and a wiper is coupled to a bottom end of the belt such that the wiper extends from the belt in a direction towards the floor. As the upper portion of the belt travels from the lower end to the upper end of the inclined conveyor, the wiper moves with the belt and contacts and moves material that collects on a top surface of the floor.

A continuous product-processing apparatus having a conveyor capable of repositioning product and cleaning itself of debris and a method for its operation. The apparatus includes a conveyor that transports products atop a conveyor belt along a carryway to a processing chamber. Upper and lower diverting rollers guide the belt along an S-shaped product-repositioning path segment of the carryway. The diverting rollers are rotated at a speed normally greater than the speed of the conveyor belt to cause the belt to slip on the roller's periphery, which effects a scraping action against the conveying side of the belt to dislodge debris from the belt and the rollers. One-way ratcheting drives or belt restricters positioned on the product-positioning path segment to limit belt excursion are used to prevent the belt from building up along the carryway and tightening in the lower return.

Scraper assemblies for removing carryover material from a conveyor belt or roller are disclosed. In some embodiments, the scraper assembly includes a rotatable cam that causes a scraper blade to remove between a lowered position and a raised position in which the blade contacts a belt or roller. Movement of the blade in the raised position may be bound by a crown of the cam and a cam finger that extends from a main body of the cam.

A cleaning device for a residue contaminated conveyor belt includes a roller arranged below the conveyor belt such that the lateral surface thereof contacts a lower strand of the conveyor belt, and a cleaning belt is arranged below the roller. The lateral surface of the roller contacts an upper strand of the cleaning belt, which is tilted relative to a main conveying direction at the upper strand relative to a longitudinal roller axis. A dispensing device on and/or above the cleaning belt feeds a solvent thereon. The dispensing device and the cleaning belt are relatively arranged such that the solvent from the cleaning belt is conveyed by a conveying movement of the cleaning belt into a region in which the cleaning belt contacts the roller, which via a rotational movement, at least partially picks up the solvent located on the cleaning belt and dispenses it onto the conveyor belt.
