Abstract
An apparatus for scraping conveyor belts having a plurality of resilient scraping blades dependent on each other for lateral support and pivotal stability, but capable of individually flexing away from the belt surface. Each blade is positioned in side-by-side abutting relation across the width of the conveyor belt, and sufficiently thick to prevent blade twisting or turning by providing mutual support for the abutting blade or blades. The blades extend into angled engagement with the belt to shave debris from the belt surface. Each blade is mounted on a single trailing arm which is disposed within a tensioning blade support element to allow independent flexing of the blades away from but not towards the belt surface. The support elements are set in a longitudinal array and mounted for rotation on a shaft positioned transversely and in spaced relation to the belt surface.
