Following on from 100s of successful installations in the US and Canada, we decided to take the Trellex ABC-V-Plow global. Now available in both imperial and metric measures, this V-shaped plow dislodges unwanted materials off the underside of your belt as it returns. In this way, it keeps your valuable belt and tail pulley safe from harm, while also efficiently preventing belt misalignment. In fact, the Trellex ABC-V-Plow protects your equipment so reliably, it pays for itself many times over. Protecting your equipment means less wear and less waste — protecting the environment and propelling your sustainability agenda.
Material properties
The ABC V-plow’s 25mm (1”) thick blades are made of a polyurethane that’s engineered for effective scraping and a long service life without damaging the belt surface. The V-plow’s blades can be turned over and re-installed when worn out, effectively doubling their lifetime and adding another win to your sustainability program.
Special features
A smart frame design allows for easy installation without welding. The plow is first attached to the conveyor frame, then the blades are bolted onto the plow. This design and the modular blades, that are used for all belt widths to reduce the number of different blades in stock, makes it easy to replace worn blades when needed. The special one-piece nose blade is designed to remove water and material from belt surface. The plow blades are kept as close to the belt as possible, ensuring uniform contact pressure between them and the belt during operation. As they become worn, the blades automatically move down, ensuring a steady pressure is always applied.
