Scrapers
One of the problems a concrete block plant has, is the buildup of spillage on the pallets used in the molding process. Concrete buildup on pallets cause quality problems. Brushing will get rid of the dust, but not the buildup that is caused by hardened concrete spillage.In 2009 we designed a pallet scraper that follows the Keep-It-Simple concept, and installed a few close to our location. Two years of field testing in these locations has proven the design and allowed us to refine it.
The “PalletQualifier” Scraper has these field proven features:
- Precision ground, Hard tungsten carbide scraper plates that have 4 sharp edges and are easily indexed – in fact all the plates can be changed in less than 30 minutes.
- Special jam-proof design.
- Spring loaded tension – requires no adjustment after installation.
- Small footprint – does not normally require a floor stand, although we have one available.
- Double, flat strip brush removes scraped debris from pallet.
- Cleaner pallets reduce mold wear and increase bottom flatness.
- Molded block products will have a more consistent height.
- Available in Big Board and Small Board size. Note: Photos show the Big Board size. We are sure that you will be interested in this device. It is available as a kit for your plant personnel to install, or we can do the installation for you at additional cost.
- Newest design integrates a scraper with a rotary brush that automatically adjusts the brush height to compensate for brush wear.
