How does an unmanned sweeper work?

Brush sweepers used for cleaning conveyor belts are generally divided into two types: one is the electric brush sweeper, also known as an active brush sweeper, and the other is the mechanical brush sweeper, also referred to as a non-powered sweeper.

Both sweeping machines use brushes to remove debris from the belt. Thanks to the characteristics of the bristles, they provide high cleaning intensity with soft pressure, allowing for cleaning in hard-to-reach areas without damaging the belt.

The sweeper is powered by an electric motor.Battery-Free SweeperHow does it work?

The solution is simple. The self-propelled sweeper is powered by friction between the driven roller and the belt, which is secured by a connecting device. As the belt runs, the friction causes the drive roller and belt to rotate, then the drive arm drives the brush roller, rotating in the opposite direction to the belt's movement, thereby cleaning the material attached to the return belt.

This invention is applicable to various types of belts, with minimal wear and tear. It operates safely and reliably, has a low failure rate, and a long service life. Maintenance costs are also low, and it is widely used in coal mines, metallurgy, building materials, conveyors, coal conveying machines, belt conveyors, thermal power plants, food processing, and more.
