Proudly Manufactured in the USA 
Conveyor belt cleaners are necessary components to any production line, by cleaning and sanitizing the conveyor belt and eliminating carryback. Proper sanitization protects the safety and integrity of future production cycles by controlling bacteria, dust buildup, and other forms of contamination. Carryback—when products on the conveyor are not discharged but rather carried back to the start—is a common result of improper conveyor belt cleaning. Although traditional cleaning methods can be labor-intensive and require high volumes of water and chemicals, using an advanced integrated conveyor belt cleaning system can streamline the process.
At Electro-Steam, we specialize in creating industrial conveyor belt cleaning systems that integrate with your equipment and your processes. Our cleaning solutions are specifically designed to remove carryback before it leads to excessive wear or unscheduled downtime. Modular and flat belt systems need different cleaners to fully reach every potentially contaminated surface with minimal interruption. That’s why we’ve developed our Jet System Modular Conveyor Belt Cleaning System and Eagle Series Brushless Conveyor Belt Cleaning System solutions to best fit the needs of your conveyor belts.

Touchscreen Control Panel
The sealed touchscreen control panel allows for easy adjustment and fully programmable operation of speed and position. It includes both automatic safety stops and a manual emergency stop.
Modular Conveyor Belt
The jet system is capable of cleaning varying soils from any type of mesh modular conveyor belt, from steel to polypropylene. Belts are prone to contamination and particulate accumulation, which can pose a hazard in any food manufacturing facility. Dry steam achieves a comprehensive cleaning of a belt’s surface and its interlocking parts to meet industry cleaning standards. Less moisture and higher heat of the steam speeds the drying of the belt after cleaning.
Robotic Arm
Available in sizes up to 84 inches, the robotic arm spans the width of the belt and guides the spinner head while in operation. Over-travel and obstruction sensors built in for additional safety.
Steam
Using dry vapor steam for a hands-free process, the system achieves a safe, thorough clean without disrupting operations. The powerful steam solution eliminates contaminants such as bacteria, oils, fats, glazes, and over-spray.
Spinner Head
The powerful 8-inch spinner head ensures complete, edge-to-edge cleaning of a belt, while applying high-pressure steam and low moisture in a constant high speed rotation at 1250 RPMs. It’s easily adjustable for height and speed, and the spinner head is included with all jet systems.
We’ve designed the Electro-Steam Jet System Modular Conveyor Belt Cleaning System to fully clean modular belt surfaces using high-temperature dry steam.
This highly effective and powerful cleaning system is simple to install, portable, and lightweight for safe integration into your current conveyance system. Each system has a fully programmable robotic arm and rotating steam “spinner” head that can accommodate 12-inch to 72-inch belt widths ensuring full surface-width coverage. Each of our fully customized units uses hot, dry steam, to clean a variety of soil types and mitigate carryback.

The 8” Spinner is standard equipment on all of our Robotic Jet Systems at no additional charge. No more water collecting and puddling on the floor or soiled wastewater running to your drain from your conventional cleaning methods. The Robotic Jet System uses only ounces of water per minute and much of it evaporates before it hits the floor, leaving you only to manage a pile of moist soil left behind and a clean and dry conveyor. Effective, efficient, saves time, and is totally chemical free using only water!
Modular conveyor belts are at risk of significant wear and damage from carryback that can accumulate across and in between the conveyor belt parts. Our Jet System Modular Conveyor Belt Cleaning System is specially designed to address the needs of modular belts with high-powered, high-temperature steam that cleans the entire conveyor surface. The units themselves are portable, easy to install, and low-weight so they can safely integrate with existing conveyance systems with belt widths ranging from 12 to 72 inches and spinners that reach every inch of the surface width. Dry vapor steam allows for a thorough, hands-free clean that doesn’t interrupt operations or present a safety hazard to your employees. Our system is equipped with robotic features to further streamline and automate the process. Each unit is fully customized with a cleaning solution that addresses any type of soil and carryback. Some of the contaminants our powerful dry vapor steam solution can handle include:
- Fats and oils
- Over-spray
- Glazes
- Bacteria
The dry vapor steam cleans the conveyor belt surfaces continuously without slowing down operations. Operators can also modify the fully programmable system to control for different belt speeds.
Modular conveyor belts are even more susceptible to dirt accumulation and contamination than flat belt systems. Granules and buildup can accumulate between the interlocking panels. This increases pressure on the joints, making them break down or snap faster. The grime can also stick between the panels so they don’t move properly along the rollers or track. Hard-to-reach contaminants also present a hazard to products, especially consumable goods in the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic industry because of potential contamination and failure to meet health standards.
A dry steam cleaner can mitigate these risks by fully cleaning the surface and interlocking components of the belt. The dry steam also minimizes the risk of introducing moisture to the system that can condense in the joints and lead to premature rust and corrosion. Steam cleaning can also keep the surface sanitized to the industry-specific and regulatory standards your facility needs to uphold.

Industrial Vacuum
Specialized for hot liquid and steam and equipped with HEPA filtration, the vacuum removes soil and water from the brushless belt system, helps dry the belt surface, and collects excess steam. This helps ensure a clean food plant floor and a clean, sanitized belt ready for the next production run. The black vacuum hose attached to the vacuum suctions in soil and excess moisture from the belt and into the vacuum for easy disposal. The other end of the black hose is attached to the vacuum outlet on the Custom Brushless Conveyor Belt Cleaner.
Conveyor Belt
When a soiled conveyor belt passes through the Custom Brushless Conveyor Belt Cleaner, it comes out clean, sanitized, and dry. Product remnants (including food remains, oils, glazes, and bacteria) are removed, and carryback is eliminated, which helps prevent premature belt wear and leads to a longer overall service life.

Benefits of Conveyor Belt Cleaning Systems
Belt cleaners minimize the accumulation of material during and between conveying operations. By using them, industry professionals reduce the risk of the aforementioned problems, as well as enhance the safety of employees, the operating efficiency of the system, and the productivity and profitability of the facility.
Some of the key benefits of adding a belt cleaner to a conveyor belt system include:
- Greater profitability. In conveyor applications, cleanup and maintenance are major contributors to overall costs. Minimizing or eliminating carryback, reduces cleanup and maintenance costs, resulting in increased profitability.
- Higher material usage-to-waste ratio.
- Greater equipment longevity. Carryback often accumulates under the belt and inside the conveyor system, which can cause damage to internal components—such as rollers and idlers—and trigger the belts to wander and fray. Keeping belts clean of material accumulation helps prevent premature wear, increasing overall service life.
- Lower energy costs. Accumulated materials increase the total weight the conveyor system has to support and handle, resulting in higher energy costs. By keeping belts clean, the conveyor system does not have to work as hard to move the necessary materials, resulting in lower energy costs.
- Better work environment safety. There is less waste and moisture on the fall, which reduces the risk of slip and fall while trying to walk through the facility. Reducing fugitive dust can lessen other issues such as inhalation or ignition of airborne particles.
