any signs of wear. This durable system consists of non-flammable and anti-static polyurethane materials and blades made from Stainless Steel. FDA-approved materials are also available for specific conveyor handling applications. Support BLT WORLD’s SureSupport sys tem works in conjunction with DustScrape and AirScrape to deliver support and stability to the belt at transfer points. Other advantages of this system include quick and simple installation, as well as reduced maintenance time and costs. The PrimeTracker ensures the belt is constantly in the correctly aligned position during operation, thus eliminating problems with belt mistracking. The TailScrape system enhances performance of the AirScrape, by sealing the transfer tail in the rear area and also works according to the Venturi concept, to prevent dust generation and material spills. The intelligent blade structure on the underside of the system, creates negative pressure in the conveying area, preventing the escape of materials. Dust is kept in the material flow by air intake. The SpeedScrape secondary belt cleaner design is based on the inclined and staggered positioning of Tungsten blades, which increases the scraping surface to as much as 150% of the conveyor belt width. This high-performance system allows scraped material to be easily discharged. Correct installation of suitable equipment ensures cost efficiency, optimum performance and safety, reduced risk of breakdown and extended service life of the conveyor system. BLT WORLD specialists offer a comprehensive bulk handling solutions service to all sectors, including shipping, mining and quarrying, civil engineering and construction, general engineering, food processing, agriculture and the sugar sector. l
