MARTIN® TWIST™ Tensioner

The patented MARTIN® TWIST™ Tensioner uses the energy stored in a twisted rubber coupling for consistent pressure with minimal belt cleaner / belt scraper adjustment required.


For Pre-Cleaners Or Secondary Cleaners

The MARTIN® TWIST™ Tensioner can be used on either pre-cleaners or secondary cleaners.

Consistent Pressure Reduces Service

Rubber element maintains cleaning pressure with minimal belt cleaner / belt scraper retensioning required.

Cushions Impact Shock

Tensioner allows mechanical splices to pass without damage.

Easy To Install And Set

Twist the housing the specified number of notches (determined by belt width) and lock in place.

Self-Relieving To Avoid Injury

If blades pull through, the tensioner's coupling rolls over, releasing pressure, and reducing the risk of harm to personnel or equipment.

New Aluminum Housing Makes it Lighter and Cleaner

Aluminum housing is lighter and the fully enclosed design keeps the tensioner mechanism clean.
* If you are welding the tensioner please order the adapter plate Part # 38843-A
* For assembly - Part # 38850-A
* For dual assembly - Part #38850-2A

The MARTIN® TWIST™ Tensioner is protected by U.S. Patent No. 4,925,434.

Martin Engineering is the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of engineered conveyor belt cleaning / conveyor belt scraping systems. In this position, Martin Engineering has developed fundamental principles of cleaner design that have set standards for belt cleaner / belt scraper engineering and performance.

The multiple-cleaner system originally adopted by Martin Engineering is now the standard for applications on belt conveyors carrying all types of bulk materials around the world. End users (and other cleaner manufacturers) have accepted it almost universally.
