Gordon Saber Conveyor Belt Cleaners
Arch Environmental is the leader in conveyor belt cleaning systems because we know what it takes to solve your conveyor problems.
- Easy Installation.
Easier to install than any other belt cleaner... Blades can be replaced in less than 10 minutes.
- Top Performance.
The Saber blade is made of super-premium polyurethane, and efficiently shaves carryback off the belt -- letting mechanical splices flow smoothly by -- even in the harshest conditions, and at high belt speeds.
- Maintenance Free.
The Saber blade never dulls, because its patented shape is self-sharpening. The unique design of the Twister Tensioner holds the belt cleaner in place -- and never needs adjusting.
- Long Life.
The Saber blade's normal lifetime is up to 18 months. The Twister Tensioner will never rust or corrode, and is guaranteed for life.
- Retrofit replacement blades are available for your OEM belt cleaning system.
- Many options are available to meet the needs of your application, including high-speed ceramic, extra high temperature, high moisture, and food grade blades.

The Saber Blade: High Performance and Durability
The patented Saber blade shape is special. Carryback is shaved off the belt, not plowed off, at the most efficient point... the belt head. Even belts in excess of 900 feet (274 m) per minute won't slow it down. The blade angle of attack lets material flow away right at the transfer point, and allows mechanical splices to flow smoothly by.
The rotational movement of the blade is so slight, constant adjustment is a thing of the past. It even resharpens as it wears.
Durable and dependable, the super-premium
polyurethane blade will last even under very harsh conditions. If you're
really tired of constant blade changeout... It's time to change the
cleaner, not the blade.
Technologically Advanced...
The Twister Tensioner Takes Belt Cleaning Out Of The Dark Ages

The patented Twister Tensioner has no mechanical parts; it is constructed of polyurethane, specially compounded to the torque value for a specific belt width.
The Twister Tensioner holds the belt cleaner to the head pulley until the blade wears out, delivering constant, even pressure without skipping or chattering -- and never needs adjusting.
The Twister will not rust or corrode and is guaranteed for life. It is easy to install and requires only a
4½ inch (114 mm)
surface to mount. If you're in belt maintenance... the Twister could take a lot of tension out of your life.
The Twister's polyurethane design prevents these problems encountered with other types of tensioners:
| Air Tensioners | Mechanical Tensioners | Rubber Tensioners |
- Loss of on-site air-pressure
- Corrosion of metallic parts
- Debris in air line damages tensioner and air line
- "Air-bag" tensioners can have holes worn in the rubber bag
- Constructed using numerous parts, so any one of these can be damaged or fail
- Ice problems due to condensation in the air

- Spring style tensioners fail due to build up between the wire
- Corrosion of metallic parts
- Constant adustment needed due to limited travel of the springs
- Cleaners tend to bounce at mechanical splices
because counterweights have too much or too little pressure
|
- Easily takes a set
- Corrosion, because construction still allows metal-to-metal contact within the tensioner
- "Wrapping" tensioners can cause the pipe to bind against the weld rings, due to the rubber
pulling up on the center line of the pipe
- Operating temperature range is not as great
