The flip-able V-plow belt cleaner may comprise: left and right arms defining an apex and providing a mounting interface for cleaning media; a front arm holder attached proximate the apex; a rear support bar attached proximate rearward ends of the arms for maintaining a spacing; one or more rear arm holders attached to the rear support bar; and two or more power arms for connecting to a V-plow mount, each power arm being pivotably connected to a front or rear arm holder and being mountable to positions both above and below the V-plow cleaner.
