PROBLEM FUGITIVE MATERIALS Escape of materials from conveyors is an everyday occurrence. It occurs in the forms of spillage and leakage from transfer points or carryback that adheres to the belt past the discharge point and drops off along the conveyor return. It also occurs in the form of airborne dust that is carried off and settles on structures, equipment and the ground. Carryback falls under the conveyor, spillage falls to the sides and dust falls on everything, including systems and structures above the conveyor. Left unchecked, fugitive materials represent an ever-increasing drain on a...

THE MARTIN® SOLUTION Through proper design and maintenance, bulk material handling operations can run cleanly, safely and efficiently. By preventing spillage and airborne dust, Martin Engineering’s Transfer Point Products can help reduce equipment damage, reduce cleanup, control maintenance expenses and improve the overall plant safety.

A NEW STANDARD FOR CONVEYOR DESIGN Martin Engineering has created a new standard in conveyor architecture. The EVO® System rethinks the problems of traditional conveyor design from the ground up and places more emphasis on safety, control of fugitive material and ease of service. Designed to provide a clean, safe and productive system, the EVO® Conveyor Architecture is cost competitive and flexible enough to be easily upgradeable to solve operation-specific problems. The EVO® products can be used in part or as a whole system; in conjunction with or as a complement to traditional C-Channel conveyor...

KEY COMPONENTS (1) BELT SUPPORT For an effective, minimum-spillage transfer point, it is essential that the belt’s line of travel be stabilized with proper belt support in the load zone. (2) SEALING SYSTEM A crucial requirement in any transfer point designed for reduced spillage and high efficiency is an effective sealing system at the edge of the belt. (3) BELT TRACKING Belt tracking must be controlled before spillage can be eliminated. (4) TAIL PULLEY PROTECTION Pulley protection plows are installed to remove lumps and stray components from the belt before they can damage the pulley or belt....

BELT SUPPORT EVO® COMBINATION CRADLE Installed under a belt conveyor loading zone, the EVO® Combination Cradles absorb the force of falling material to prevent damage to the belt and structure. These medium-duty impact cradles stabilize the belt line to prevent material escape. The center-roll option reduces friction and requires less conveyor drive horsepower than bars. Roller kit available for use with multiple units. EVO® UPGRADE: Track-mounted to simplify installation and maintenance. Roller Option Roller kits available for installing two units back to back. visit martin-eng.com | call 800-544-2947...

MARTIN® IMPACT CRADLE Installed under a belt conveyor loading zone, the MARTIN® Impact Cradle absorbs the force of falling material to prevent damage to the belt and structure. Wing supports adjust to match any standard trough angle. An additional five degrees of fine tuning adjustment enables the cradle to match the idler profiles of different idler manufacturers. Rugged bars are composed of a top layer of low friction UHMW and a lower layer of energy-absorbing polyurethane. System Selection Guide: Determine weight of largest lump and drop height. EVO® HIGH-SPEED IMPACT CRADLE Designed and engineered...

EVO® SLIDER CRADLE Eliminates pinch points where trapped material can gouge or tear the belt and stabilizes the belt’s path to improve sealing and tracking. Low-friction UMHW bars support belt edges to stabilize the belt line, eliminating belt sag and bounce. Proprietary “box” design allows each bar to be turned over to provide a second wear life. EVO® UPGRADE: Track-mounted to simplify installation and maintenance. MARTIN® SLIDER CRADLE Eliminates pinch points where trapped material can gouge or tear the belt and stabilizes the belt’s path to improve sealing and tracking. The conveyor belt glides...

EVO® RETURN ROLLER Sliding track-mount design reduces risk of injury and allows replacement to be done quickly and easily from a single side of the belt. Three-piece hanger frame accommodates belt widths 24 to 72 inches (500 to 2000 mm). Universal bracket fits most idlers and belt widths. MARTIN® TRAC-MOUNT™ IDLERS Idlers slide in and out of position without the need to raise the belt or move adjacent idlers to allow simple service. Clamp mounted to allow precision installation requiring only 8 inches (203 mm) of spacing. Mild steel or rubber rollers for CEMA Class B, C, D, or E. Steel Rollers...

SEALING SYSTEMS EVO® EXTERNAL WEAR LINER External wear liner is installed on the outside of the chute wall, simplifying wear liner inspection and replacement—both without confined-space entry. Improves liner and skirtboard sealing system performance without adding additional conveyor construction cost. The chute wall can be trimmed to avoid material buildup. EVO® EXTERNAL WEAR LINER RETROFIT Installed outside conveyor transfer point skirtboards, EVO® External Wear Liner Retrofit Kit is an economical upgrade that improves skirtboard sealing and prevents spillage an be used on new . It c installations...

MARTIN® APRONSEAL™ SKIRTING Provides dual-seal efficiency with a single, one-piece sealing strip for any troughing angle to prevent the escape of fines and dust. ApronSeal™ Double Skirting uses a patented design that features a reversible elastomer strip to provide a second wear life. Optional quick-release clamps are available. MARTIN® SELF ADJUSTING SKIRTING Self-adjusting skirting system rides the belt to create an effective seal automatically. Requires only six inches (152 mm) of clearance and only 1.5 inches (38 mm) free belt area for sealing. “L” System has an inward extension under the...
