A mass shaped detaching razor device for detaching mass shapes from a laminating roller without damaging the same is provided, said device comprises a main support coupled on its upper section with a lower end of a pressure arm by means of a 5 pivot coupling, the main support is coupled on its lower section with a razor support having on a frontal end a detachment razor, a shock absorber coupled on its lower end to a back end of the main support and coupled by its upper end to an upper end of the pressure arm.

A removable cartridge cleaner assembly is provided that allows for easier replacement of the belt cleaner blades from under a conveyor belt. In one aspect the assembly includes a cartridge assembly configured for connection with at least one belt cleaner blade assembly and a support assembly configured to support the cartridge assembly across a transverse width of the conveyor belt. A releasable connection between the cartridge assembly and the support assembly is configured to be sheltered from dust and debris. The releasable connection may be disposed within a chamber formed by the engaging portions of the cartridge and support assemblies. The releasable connection can be released by removing a longitudinally oriented rod member that extends along a length of the cartridge and support assemblies. The support assembly may include a secondary cartridge support for easing installation and removal of the cartridge assembly.

In one aspect, an apparatus is provided for a conveyor belt system. The apparatus includes a conveyor belt cleaner having an elongate support and a pair of mounts configured to position the elongate support to extend across a conveyor belt. The apparatus includes a cleaner blade configured to be operatively mounted to the elongate support and engage a conveyor belt. The apparatus further includes a sensor configured to detect at least one characteristic of the elongate support as the elongate support vibrates during conveyor belt operation. A processor of the apparatus is configured to use the at least one characteristic of the elongate support to predict at least one property of the cleaner blade.

A cleanable frame and a method for making a cleanable frame having a simplified frame design. A hygienic conveyor frame assembly comprises a plurality of hollow tubular sections joined together to form an evacuated, sealed conveyor frame support structure that functions as a sterilization zone. An integral carryway is placed on the support structure. Lifters coupled to the conveyor frame can lift the canyway and conveyor belt for cleaning. Infeed and outfeed assemblies are also movable between operating and cleaning positions. A sensor can monitor the conditions of the frame interior to ensure that the vacuum is maintained and initiate a corrective action if the vacuum seal is breached.

The invention relates to a conveyor belt stripping device for a conveyor belt of a conveyor system, having a support shaft and at least two displacement guides which are arranged side by side on the support shaft in a positive locking manner so as to transmit torque. Each of the two displacement guides is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the support shaft once a fastening device has been released and is connected to a holding end of a stripping segment, wherein the stripping segment comprises a stripping end which is spaced from the holding end and is movable to abut the conveyor belt. The two displacement guides are operatively couplable together in the longitudinal direction of the support shaft by means of a connection device. The one displacement guide, in the state coupled with the other displacement guide, is displaceable along the longitudinal direction of the support shaft to a predefined distance from the other displacement guide and then is displaceable along the longitudinal direction of the support shaft at the predefined distance to the other displacement guide together with the other displacement guide on account of the coupling by means of the connection device. The invention also relates to a displacement device for the attachment of a stripping segment to a support shaft of a conveyor belt stripping device.

A primary belt cleaner tensioning system that permits the adjustment of contacting force of a scraper blade on a conveyor belt surface. The system utilizes a torsion spring contained within a mounting tube and rotatable shaft which not only protects the torsion spring from the environment but also allows the spring length to be sufficiently long to have enhanced deflection during tensioning. As the blade wears and tension is released, a significant amount of the initially-applied tension is retained in the system, thereby eliminating the need to retension the system over the life of the blade as is required for prior art blade tensioning systems. A tension applicator allows the user to initially tension the system and use of shaped retainers and end caps allow one end of the torsion spring to be fixed to different types of hollow shafts while the other end is coupled to the tension applicator.
