Figure 14-Belt Tracking by Adjusting Snub Rollers
When initially tracking the belt, ensure that the belt does not ride on a side frame or
contact the timing belt from the motor as the snub roller is adjusted to track the belt.
This can damage the belt.
11.
If the belt is still not tracking, adjust the snub rollers along the conveyor frame that are close to the
portion that is tracking improperly.
12.
When the belt runs twice its length without changing positions and without requiring additional
adjustments, then the belt is tracked properly.
13.
If improper tracking of the belt persists, contact your ZiPline Conveyor representative for technical
assistance.
The nosebar must be set square to the knife edge frame in both horizontal
and vertical directions. The nosebar position has a large influence on proper
belt tracking. If the belt tracking is not responding to snub roller
adjustment, a small change in nosebar position is usually needed. See step 4
in this section for details on adjusting the nosebar.
5.1.9
Setting Discharge Conveyor
1.
See the system layout drawing for the discharge conveyor location.
2.
Adjust the
discharge transition assembly as close to the slats as possible without touching (1/4” to
1/2" clearance recommended, product specific). The discharge transition assembly rollers should be
set approximately
1/8” lower than the co
nveying surface of the sorter. See Figure 15.
