A seal member for sealing a conveyor belt is a monolithic homogeneous piece of material having opposite first and second halves and comprises first and second primary seals and first and second secondary seals. The first secondary seal is resiliently movable relative to the first primary seal. The second secondary seal is resiliently movable relative to the second primary seal. The first primary seal and the first secondary seal are part of the first half of the seal member. The second primary seal and the second secondary seal are part of the second half of the seal member. When the seals on one of the first and second halves of the seal member become excessively worn, the seal member can be flipped so that the seals on the other half of the seal member can be utilized.

A conveyor belt cleaner and tensioner assembly including a conveyor belt cleaner and a conveyor belt cleaner tensioner. The conveyor belt cleaner includes a scraper blade assembly having a mounting member and a scraper blade. The mounting member includes a base member adapted to be attached to a cross shaft and first and second flanges extending outwardly from the base member forming a first slot therebetween. The scraper blade includes a mounting base having a bore through which the mounting member extends, second and third slots adapted to receive the first and second flanges of the mounting member, and a third flange adapted to be inserted in the first slot of the mounting member such that the scraper blade is rotatably attached to the mounting member. The tensioner includes a support arm rotatably attached to a rotatable tensioning rod and a pivot arm pivotally attached to the support arm which receives the cross shaft. A biasing member extends between the support arm and the pivot arm. Rotation of the tensioning rod moves the support bracket and pivot arm along the tensioning rod until the scraper blades engage the conveyor belt, whereafter continued rotation of the tensioning rod compresses the biasing member to resiliently bias the scraper blades into engagement with the conveyor belt.
