Support Belt Cleaning With Water Spray Bars
Effective Water Spray Systems
HOSCH Australia’s water spray bars support conveyor belt cleaning while helping reduce dust emissions. Available as an optional addition to HOSCH scrapers, each system is selected to suit the belt width and scraper type for straightforward installation. Water creates a separating layer between the belt and adhering material, making it easier for scrapers to remove carryback.
Depending on the spray angle, continuous rinsing also helps prevent material from sticking to the scraper itself. Within transfer chutes, the water mist binds airborne dust, helping limit emissions. Together, these functions support effective belt cleaning and dust control throughout the conveyor transfer area.
The Key Benefits Of Conveyor Spray Bars
Improves Belt Cleaning
Water creates a separating layer between adhering material and the conveyor belt, helping scrapers remove carryback more effectively and supporting a cleaner belt during operation.
Reduces Dust Emissions
Water mist binds airborne dust within conveyor transfer chutes, helping reduce dust emissions and supporting cleaner conditions around material transfer points and surrounding work areas.
Keeps Scrapers Cleaner
Correctly angled water sprays continuously rinse the scraper, helping prevent adhering material from building up on its components and supporting consistent cleaning performance during operation.
How Do Spray Bars Work?
Conveyor spray bars deliver water through a series of nozzles positioned to support belt and scraper cleaning. The water wets material adhering to the belt, creating a separating layer that helps the scraper remove carryback more easily. Depending on the spray angle, the system can also continuously rinse the scraper to help prevent material accumulation.
Within transfer chutes, water mist binds airborne dust particles, helping reduce dust emissions around the transfer point. HOSCH spray bars are selected to suit the conveyor belt width and scraper type, allowing the spraying system to work alongside the scraper as part of the cleaning process.
