ConShear

Retrofit Replacement Blades

for OEM Belt Cleaners
Part Number Cross-Reference Guide

ConShear Blade Technology

The patented urethane blade design that delivers a conforming and shearing action to provide
consistent belt cleaning.
Faceted Profile - the blade forms a new cleaning edge each time the blade wears down
to a new faceted section.
Long Wearing - a proprietary urethane blend that provides up to 30% more wear life
than conventional solid blades.
Material Path Option - choose the blade size that spans just the material path on the
belt. This minimizes differential wear between the ends and the center of the blade. It
allows the blade to conform better to the belt for more cleaning power. Check out the
Rockline EZP1 Precleaner or the Mineline MSP Precleaner.
Replacement Indicator - a molded-in wear line provides easy visual notice when the
blade is worn out and needs to be replaced.
Quick, Easy Change-Out - simply pull one pin, remove the worn blade, insert the new
blade and replace the pin.

For best cleaning and wear life results the ConShear blade must be located against
the conveyor head pulley in the correct position and must be tensioned properly.
See Page 3 for proper blade installation and tensioning instructions.

Retrofit Replacement Blades for

OEM Belt Cleaners
Installation and Tensioning Tips
For optimal cleaning efficiency and long wear life, the ConShear blade must be located and tensioned correctly
on the belt head pulley. If the OEM cleaner pole is in the wrong location the performance of the new blade may be
adversely affected. See Possible Problems below. For tensioning, please follow these instructions. Our recommended
tensioning may be as much as 2 times more than the OEM recommendation, but the added tension is needed to take
full advantage of the ConShear Blade Technology.

Correct Location:

When blade contact is made against the head pulley (prior to tensioning) there should
be a 1/16" to 1/8" gap at the bottom of the blade face (Fig. 1).

Correct Location:
1/8" gap at initial
blade/belt contact

Fig. 1

Possible Problems:

Pole location too far out - The initial blade/belt contact

gap will be larger than 1/8" (Fig. 2). If the blade is
correctly tensioned it may flip through before it is fully
worn. If tensioned too lightly, it will develop the smile
effect quickly and not clean properly.
Pole location too far in - If there is no gap at the initial
blade/belt contact (Fig. 3), the tip of the blade may not be
touching the belt. In this case, the blade will push away
and lose its shearing (cleaning) effect. The blade may
also develop a flap at the tip which may trap material.

away from belt
Incorrect:
Larger than
1/8" gap

Incorrect:
no gap

Fig. 2

Fig. 3
Correct Tension:
Full contact
between blade
face and belt

Correct Tensioning:

The blade should be tensioned until the gap is gone (Fig. 4).

Fig. 4

The Material Path Option

For optimal cleaning and reduced blade retensioning, the cleaner blade width should be sized to fit the material path
of the belt. The material path is typically the center 2/3 of the belt width. Choosing a blade only slightly wider than
the material path can decrease differential blade wear which reduces blade retensioning maintenance, as well as
reducing the frequency of blade replacement.
