MAINTENANCE
Mintex Metal Mat
There are no replacement parts in the Mintex Mat.
Replace it as an assembly.
To ensure a long service life, it is important that the
Mat Drive Shaft, Idler Shafts, Idler Sprockets and
Rollers Assemblies are parallel to each other and
correctly set ‘square’ in the Frame.
NOTE
The links, at the outer edge of the Mat must
point ‘opposite’ to the direction of mat travel.
Drive Sprockets.
•
The teeth of the Drive Sprockets ‘
A
’ must
contact the Mat Connectors.
The Drive Sprockets are keyed to the Drive
Shaft and locked with Set Screws.
Mid-Idler Sprockets.
•
The Mid-Idler Sprockets ‘
B
’ rotate freely on the
Shaft and held in place with Lock Collars ‘
C
’.
They are ‘pushed’ by the fixed Mat Connectors.
Set the Idler Sprockets one inch closer to the
Center of the Mat than the Drive Sprockets.
•
Sprocket Teeth
must be centered
in the Mat
openings. If the Teeth contact the side face of
the Links it will result in excessive and prema-
ture wear to the Sprockets and the Mat, and
early failure of the Mat.
IMPORTANT
Replace the Sprocket Teeth when they become
Worn. Worn teeth can cause serious damage to
the Mat.
Mintex Mat. Adjust Length
•
The Mintex Mat will ‘stretch’ during use.
To prevent it from ‘jumping’ over the Sprocket
Teeth it can be shortened by re-positioning
the removable Mat Connector ‘
D
’.
The Mat Connector is secured with two nuts ’
E
’.
The two lower Idler Shaft Assemblies have ‘Rubber and
Steel’ Rollers ‘
F
’ that run on Sealed Bearings.
Set Screws hold the Bearings in place on the Shaft.
The Front Lower Idler Shaft has four Sprockets.
The outer Sprockets are keyed to the Shaft and locked
with Set Screws. See ‘
A
’ above.
The two inner Sprockets rotate freely on the Shaft and
are held in place with Lock Collars. See ‘
B
’ above.
The Front Lower Idler Shaft is aligned with Adjusting
Wedges. The adjustment procedure is the same as that
on the Rubber Mat. See page 4-13.
