Chain tension of the conveyor (1)
Checking the track tension:
For daily inspection look straight through under
the bumper. The chain must not hang below the
bottom edge of the bumper.
Should readjustment be necessary, measure the slack unloaded from the bottom edge of the floor plate
to the bottom edge of the chain (see the figure). Also conveyor chain supports should be inspected daily
and can be seen by looking straight through under the bumper. Clean the support every 1000 hours of
operation and before adjusting the tension.
The chains should not be too tight or too slack. If
the chain is too tight, material between the chain
and the sprocket wheel can lead to stoppage or
breakage.
If the chain is too slack, it may get stuck in the pro-
truding objects and be damaged.
With the paver resting on a level surface the sag of both portions should be a minimum of 11 inches!
Checking the chain tension:
Chain tension can be adjusted with 4 tension-
screws (A) The tension-screws are located at the
front of the crossbeam.
- Loosen the bolts (B) and remove the locking
clamp (C).
- Set the necessary chain tension by turning the
tension-screws (A).
- Remount the locking clamp (C) with the bolt
(B).
