Reject Conveyor Drive Belt Tension
Adjustment
Over time, the reject conveyor’s power twist
drive belt will stretch due to normal wear and
tear. Tension on the belt must be adjusted if it is
noticeably slack or if it begins to slip.
Required Tools
wrench, pliers
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected.
Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
Locate the safety cover for the reject con-
veyor drive belt (Figure 7-52).
Remove the bolts which secure the cover
and set it aside.
Remove the reject conveyor drive belt
by slowly hand-turning the motor pulley
(Figure 7-53) and rolling the belt off.
Remove a link from the belt:
Use a pair of pliers to twist the tab of
one link until the tab can slide through
the hole in the next link.
Repeat this for the tab of the next link
so the first link can be removed.
Reconnect the belt by pushing the unused
tab through the unused hole.
NOTE: Additional belt links
can be removed if necessary to
properly tension the belt.
Roll the belt back into place.
