Wet and sticky materials
Wet mass — damp ore, clay, wet sugar, feedstuffs — sticks to the belt and compacts. Cleaning is harder in these conditions, and the site deliberately promises no cure without data.
What to check first
- How strongly and where the mass sticks: the zones where it holds most firmly.
- Temperatures and media chemistry: they affect filament and frame material choice.
- Other cleaning methods present at the unit and their condition.
Inspection sequence
- Record the actual belt state: the thickness of the sticking layer at several points.
- Check the installed cleaning design and its fastening.
- Assess whether space allows denser filament or a second cleaning stage.
- Collect conditions in the assistant, including not-sure marks — more honest than guesses.
Scenario limits
| Situation | What to consider |
|---|---|
| The mass compacts inside the filament | Filament density and type, and a brush cleaning schedule, are agreed with the manufacturer. |
| Food or chemical environment | A documented execution is required; the reference does not certify executions. |
| Unit washing | Water and detergents affect core, bearings and filament materials. |
