Standard-Duty Torsion Ploughs

Reliable Return-Side Protection for Your Conveyor System

The SEC Business Group Torsion Plough is engineered for installation on the return side of the conveyor belt
to remove rocks, debris, and carryback material before it reaches the tail or take-up pulleys.
Installed prior to these critical components, the plough protects the belt, pulley, and lagging
from premature wear and costly damage.

Designed for both standard and heavy-duty applications, the Torsion Plough provides dependable
protection in a wide range of bulk material handling environments.

Engineered Torsion Arm System

The torsion arm mechanism applies a light but constant pressure to the polyurethane blades,
ensuring effective deflection of material from the belt surface.
This controlled pressure allows efficient cleaning while minimising excessive blade wear.

A key design advantage is the two-piece clamp arrangement, eliminating the need to cut
or replace poles in the event of seized torsion arms.
This significantly reduces maintenance time, simplifies servicing, and lowers long-term operating costs.

Optional Stoneguard Protection

In applications where material may bounce along the return belt, an optional Stoneguard can be fitted.
Installed between the polyurethane blade and the steel frame, the Stoneguard forms a raised shield
that repels rocks and debris that might otherwise bypass the plough and cause damage to downstream components.

Stoneguards are available in galvanised mild steel or stainless steel and are compatible with:

• SEC Business Group Torsion Ploughs
• HD Floating Diagonal Ploughs
• Fixed Diagonal Ploughs
