Ultimate in belt cleaning technology claimed
Ace Arc has recently been appointed as sole UK distributor for Dirt Whacker belt cleaning equipment, claimed as the ultimate in belt cleaning technology
Designed and manufactured in Australia, these hardened steel components fit together in a variety of configurations, depending on the application, to provide an extra-tough alternative to Ace Arc's range of wearplate.
Ace Arc believes they are particularly relevant in applications where there is limited opportunity for regular maintenance.
Managing Director Frank Fairbrother says: "Wear protection blocks are a premium product but in the right application, they can save a lot of money as the cost is offset by the wear life".
He gives the example of a chute application where getting in to do maintenance means stopping the entire plant.
"In that environment, the ware protection blocks could allow the operator to restrict the maintenance to once a year or even once every two years".
"Once you have invested in them, you get a long spell of maintenance free protection".
