How long will the segments last before needing replacement?
The blade edge on our cleaning segments is maintained for the life of the segments. The life of the segment will vary from a few months to more than a year. Factors which affect replacement time are the abrasive qualities of the material carried on the belt, the tonnage moved per shift, the number of operating shifts, inside or outdoor installation, condition of the belt, and the type and quality of the belt splice. Excessive pressure of the cleaning segments against the belt will also shorten the life. Urethane has an exceptionally high resistance to abrasion, solvents, cuts and gouges.
