I need some suggestions on stopping carry back on a 42" discharge Belt. The belt is a discharge on a 6x20 triple deck dry screening plant. The screen cloth size is Top deck (2" square opening), the second deck is (3/4" square opening), the third deck (sometimes 1/4" sometimes1/8" end tensioning).
Material sticks to this discharge belt like a magnet... it has a functioning Martin Dirt Hawg belt scraper on it. If I set the belt scraper any tighter it will grab the belt splice and tear it,,, belt splice is flexco fasteners that are skived in and countersunk.
This plant is fed with a belt, and the material off this discharge belt drops to a transfer conveyor and then onto a 120 ft stacking conveyor. There is minimal(normal I'd say) stickage to any of the other belts.
The fine material this discharge carries usually run's less then 10% retained on the #200 seive.
Has anybody else faced this problem and how did you control it???
Thanks in advance..... Gramps
