Practical Products Abrasive Belt Cleaner is a rubberized cleaner designed to clear gummy buildup from sanding belts and discs so the abrasive surface cuts cleanly again. The cleaner is held firmly against a running belt or disc, which lets the rubberized material grab the clogging residue and lift it away from the abrasive surface so cutting edges are exposed instead of smeared over. As the gummy clogging is removed, the sanding belt or disc regains its cutting ability, which keeps material removal consistent across the workpiece. Abrasive life is extended many times because the belt or disc can keep working instead of being discarded early due to loading. Downtime to change a belt or disc is also reduced, which helps keep sanding stations productive on longer runs and repeat jobs without constant changeovers.
The cleaner is intended to be held firmly against a running belt or disc, so the sanding machine remains powered and turning while the rubberized material does the cleaning work. This approach lets operators integrate belt cleaning into normal sanding workflow without breaking down setups or removing belts. The cleaner restores cutting ability by removing gummy clogging, which supports consistent sanding pressure and feed rates instead of compensating for a loaded belt. The product description specifies a size of 1.5 x 1.5 x 8.5, giving a substantial cleaning surface that can be presented to the belt or disc in different orientations as it wears. The manufacturer notes that it is not to be used on wide belts or conveyor-type sanders, which keeps its use focused on appropriate belt and disc sanding equipment.
The sanding belt cleaner, described as 1.5 x 1.5 x 8.5, provides a compact form suited to handheld use at smaller belt or disc sanding stations rather than wide belt or conveyor-type sanders. When it is held firmly against a running belt or disc, the rubberized substance engages the abrasive surface while the machine runs at normal operating speed, drawing gummy clogging away from the grit. This use pattern fits well at benchtop or pedestal sanders where the operator already has direct access to the belt or disc face. As the cleaner restores the cutting ability of a clogged belt or disc, the same abrasive setup can continue to handle stock removal, edge work, or profile sanding rather than being swapped out for a fresh belt at the first sign of loading.
The BC-228 abrasive belt cleaner extends abrasive life many times, so each belt or disc can support more sanding cycles before replacement, which stabilizes process planning and abrasive stocking levels. By removing gummy clogging, the cleaner keeps the abrasive surface open, which helps maintain predictable cutting rates and surface finish from one workpiece to the next instead of drifting as the belt loads up. Reduced downtime to change belts or discs directly supports throughput because sanding stations stay in operation instead of stopping for frequent abrasive changeovers. The industrial size is described as about 30 percent larger than standard belt cleaners, providing more usable material for repeated cleaning sessions and allowing operators to rotate to a fresh face as the working edge wears down, helping sustain cleaning performance over time.
Practical Products Abrasive Belt Cleaner removes gummy clogging from sanding belts and discs, restoring their cutting ability so abrasives cut instead of rubbing, which supports consistent sanding performance.
The BC-228 belt cleaner is held firmly against a running belt or disc so the rubberized substance contacts the abrasive surface and pulls away gummy buildup while the machine continues operating.
The sanding belt cleaner is described as 1.5 x 1.5 x 8.5, providing a substantial block size that supports multiple cleaning faces and comfortable handheld control during use.
The product description states that abrasive life is extended many times, because belts and discs are cleaned of gummy clogging and kept in service longer instead of being discarded when loaded.
The cleaner reduces downtime to change belts or discs, since clogged abrasives can be restored, helping sanding stations remain available for production rather than frequent changeovers.
The product note specifies that BC-228 is not to be used on wide belts or conveyor-type sanders, so its use remains focused on suitable belt and disc sanding equipment.
The abrasive belt cleaner BC-228 gives shops a rubberized block sized at 1.5 x 1.5 x 8.5 that removes gummy clogging from running belts and discs. By restoring cutting ability, it extends abrasive life many times and reduces downtime tied to changing clogged belts or discs. The industrial size is about 30 percent larger than standard belt cleaners, offering more usable material for repeated cleaning sessions. For sanding operations that depend on consistent abrasive performance, this cleaner provides a straightforward way to keep belts and discs working longer between replacements.
