The Martin® Torsion VPlow is mounted with a unique suspension that allows the plow to rise and fall with fluctations in belt tension and travel. This makes it self-adjusting for effective cleaning in all stages of blade wear.

Features and Benefits:
• Can be used on belts with belt speeds up to 900 fpm (46 m/sec).
• Standard Torsion Arms are 10.25 in. (260 mm). Other lengths from 2.5 to 11.37 in. (64 to 289 mm) are available to accommodate applications with clearance limitations.
• Easily Replaceable blade provides 2 in. (50 mm) of wear.
• Blade is available in 80 Shore A Durometer Nitrile rubber or long-wearing 90 Shore A Durometer urethane.
• Arms provide self-adjusting action for effective cleaning in all stages of blade wear.
• Three-point suspension keeps the plow parallel to the belt.
