Wet or dry cleaning of the conveyor buckets
Semi-automatic or automatic integrated station
- Can be extended to automated housing cleaning
- Also available as dry cleaning
HUMBERT & POL offers an innovative and patented conveyor bucket cleaning module with downstream bucket drying or aspiration, which can also be integrated into existing pendulum bucket conveyors. Time-consuming manual cleaning after product or colour changes can thus be minimised or even eliminated altogether. After product conveying, the cleaning cycle starts in cycle mode. The cleaning nozzles move transversely to the conveying direction below the tilted conveyor buckets. The resulting impurities are thus removed.

Optimal cleaning results
The exact timing and positioning of the buckets, as well as the linear drive equipped with cleaning nozzle sticks, allow optimum cleaning of the conveyor buckets from the inside and outside in a single operation. The cycle time of the buckets can be adjusted individually according to the degree of soiling.
In wet cleaning, the pressure is increased by means of a high-pressure cleaner. The cleaning result can be improved by using hot water and cleaning additives. Low-noise and low-consumption flat spray nozzles are used for dry cleaning.

The cleaning system for upgrading or retrofitting
For optimum cleaning results of the conveyor buckets, the automatically moving nozzle sticks can be optimally adjusted in the jet direction, the exposure time, and the water or air pressure.

Drying / Aspiration
Function in detail
The drying of the pendulum buckets is done with hot air. The buckets swivel into the optimum position in the dry area. In the hot air stream, the buckets are dried gently and quickly. The conveyor chain is dried separately with compressed air. In the dry cleaning stations, the conveyor buckets are blown off with compressed air. The loosened dust and dirt particles are immediately extracted.
