Martin VPlow HD
An economical tail pulley protection plow for medium to heavy duty conveyors, engineered to remove stray material from the belt before it reaches the tail pulley. The sturdy nitrile rubber blade floats against the belt to eject spillage to the sides, preventing pulley gouging, fouling and slippage. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as part of the genuine Martin Engineering range.
Product Description
Martin® VPlow™ HD is an economical tail pulley protection solution for medium to heavy duty conveyor applications. Fugitive material commonly migrates from the cargo side to the return side of a belt during normal operation; if it reaches the tail pulley it can gouge and damage both the pulley face and the belt, or be crushed onto the pulley face, causing slippage and fouling. The VPlow HD rides against the inside of the return belt in a V-shape, ejecting stray material to both sides of the belt before it can enter the tail pulley. The durable 80 Shore A Durometer nitrile rubber blade delivers 2 in. (50 mm) of wear life at service temperatures up to 250°F. Used for:
- Protecting standard, non-reversing tail pulleys from spillage and fouling
- Preventing pulley slippage caused by material crushed against the pulley face
- Reducing belt and pulley wear from lumps trapped between belt and pulley
- Medium to heavy duty conveyor applications up to 900 fpm
Mounting hardware is included, and installation is designed to be quick with minimal ongoing maintenance.
