Raising the Bar in Belt Cleaning Technology: ASGCO® Launches the Next Generation of Conveyor Cleaners
In an industry where uptime, cleanliness, and safety are paramount, ASGCO® continues to lead the charge with its latest innovation—an all-new line of advanced belt cleaners designed to push the boundaries of performance, durability, and maintenance simplicity. With the launch of our Continuous Secondary Blade (CSB) Cleaner and companion systems, ASGCO® introduces a comprehensive solution built for modern material handling environments where efficiency and reliability aren’t optional; they’re expected.
CSB Cleaner: Continuous Contact, Continuous Confidence
The CSB Cleaner is engineered around a simple but powerful principle:
continuous blade-to-belt contact with no gaps. Its innovative design ensures that the cleaning blades maintain consistent, even pressure across the entire belt width, eliminating the dead spots and uneven wear common in traditional cleaner systems. The result is uniform cleaning pressure from edge to edge, delivering superior carryback removal without compromising belt integrity.
Designed for tight spaces and high-performance applications, the CSB Cleaner integrates easily into constrained conveyor systems while providing rugged, reliable operation in industries like mining, aggregate, cement, recycling, and bulk shipping. While tools are required for blade servicing, the cleaner is built for quick maintenance and long-term efficiency.
In every way, the CSB is continuous by design, from its physical footprint to its flawless contact with the belt, ensuring optimal cleaning performance with minimal disruption.
Key Features and Engineering Highlights
-
Razor-Back CSB Retractable
Modular Blade Cartridge System
Each blade on the CSB Cleaner is housed in a replaceable cartridge. This modular approach offers several key advantages:- Quick blade swaps without removing the cleaner from the structure
- Pre-set tensioning to eliminate guesswork and ensure optimal contact pressure
- Enhanced worker safety with easy maintenance that meets or exceeds MSHA/OSHA compliance standards
- High-Performance Materials
ASGCO® uses only the most durable materials available:- Blades made from urethane with embedded tungsten carbide provide long wear life and reduce maintenance intervals
- Mounting tubes and cartridges are fabricated from zinc-plated steel or optional stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
- Tensioners are powder-coated for durability
- Compact Footprint, Wide Versatility
With its streamlined form, the CSB Cleaner is ideal for areas with limited clearance, such as beneath transfer points, under loading zones, and at tail pulleys. It supports:- Belt widths from 18″ to 96″
- Operating speeds up to 1000 FPM
- Applications in both wet and dry material flows
- Easy Retrofit and Integration
The CSB can be retrofitted onto existing conveyor systems with minimal modifications. Mounting brackets and tensioning systems are designed to align with common frame standards, reducing the need for custom fabrication.
Why It Matters: Operational Gains and ROI
Reduce Carryback, Improve Housekeeping
Carryback can result in wasted material, safety hazards, and equipment wear. The CSB Cleaner addresses this by delivering consistent, full-width cleaning that prevents accumulation on tail pulleys, return idlers, and floors.
Lower Maintenance Burden
With traditional belt cleaners, blade replacement can be time-consuming and dangerous. The CSB eliminates these challenges. Its easy maintenance blade change system reduces service time by over 50%, freeing up maintenance staff for higher-value tasks.
Extend Component Life
By removing debris before it migrates through the system, ASGCO®’s cleaners protect critical conveyor components, extending the life of idlers, pulleys, and belts themselves.
Comply with Safety Regulations
Our new cleaner systems are designed with worker safety in mind. From pinch-point elimination to intuitive tensioning, every element reflects ASGCO®’s commitment to MSHA/OSHA-aligned best practices.
Complementary Systems: Primary Cleaners and Tail Solutions
The CSB Cleaner performs at its best when paired with ASGCO®’s full line of primary cleaners, which are mounted at the head pulley and address the bulk of the material load. Together, they form a multi-stage cleaning solution that minimizes carryback to near-zero levels.
ASGCO® also offers tail pulleys, cleaners, v-plows, and custom-engineered cleaning systems designed to tackle challenging material types such as wet clay, coal fines, or gypsum. Each solution is backed by application-specific consultation and on-site installation support.
Built on a Legacy of Innovation and Service
ASGCO® has spent over five decades at the forefront of conveyor solutions. Our innovations are not driven by theory—they’re shaped by field conditions and customer needs. Every cleaner is backed by:
- Extensive in-house and field testing
- Customization options for unique belt speeds, material types, or structural layouts
- Ongoing technical support and training to keep your operation moving
The Bottom Line: Cleaner Belts. Safer Teams. Higher Efficiency.
Whether you’re battling carryback, chasing production targets, or aiming to reduce downtime, ASGCO®’s new line of cleaners, including the revolutionary CSB Cleaner, is your frontline solution. More than just a product, it’s an investment in long-term performance, safety, and profitability.
