Clean surfaces of conveyor belts are a key requirement for smooth operation. It is essential to avoid caking on the belt, because contamination can result in high maintenance costs and even plant downtime. Adam Puchalla, Product Manager at REMA TIP TOP, has been developing solutions for the efficient cleaning of conveyor belts for over 25 years. In this interview, he explains how to avoid disruptions in the production process by using modern scraper systems and what to consider when choosing the right system.
