5.4.3. SPLICE PROTECTOR / WIPER CLEATS
Important: Splice protectors / wiper cleats must be properly installed on both mechanical
and vulcanized splices to obtain proper reloading and prevent buildup on the
return pan / bottom of trunking.
The splice protectors / wiper cleats are extremely important to the proper
operation of the Hi Roller Conveyor. These cleats protect the splice from prema-
turely wearing out from sliding on the bottom return liner. The cleats also clean
the bottom liner as the belt slides back to the tail section. Material is cleaned off
the bottom and conveyed to the tail section. The cleats also do some reloading of
the material as they go around the tail pulley. Figure 5.17 shows the specifica-
tions for installing the splice protectors / wiper cleats.
