Frozen Conveyor System
Frozen Conveyor System
(OP)
I have a conveyor system that, while it is supposed to be suitable for winter enviroment, apparently is not; there is a great deal of ice build up. The belt plows are doing their job but it is still not enough We are going to get some deicing mist, but what else can anyone think of? This is duirng the commissioning phase, so I know once in production it will go away, but I still have to prove the system will run from a dead stop. tail pulleys are slick, but take up are grooved. has anyone seen this before - my engineer says he hasn't. Suggestions? Help?!

Build a building around it!

I've seen scraper blades used, protection of the main pulleys from snow by a small enclosure... how is the snow getting to the pulleys (you should post this in the mech forum with added info)?
