Reject Drive Systems
The reject drive systems actually consist
of separately powered subsystems, including
the Side Drive Subsystem, Transfer Conveyor
Drive Subsystem and the Reject Conveyor Drive
Subsystem.
Side Conveyor Drive Subsystem
Use the illustration (Figure 5-23) below to
identify the mechanical components of the side
conveyor drive subsystem.
This discussion will cover the left side
conveyor drive components. An identical set
of equipment handles the right side conveyor
action.
At the bottom left of the machine, the left side
conveyor motor (Figure 5-23, A) powers the left
side conveyor subsystem. A shaft from the drive
motor extends directly into a gear reducer (B).
The output shaft is connected to a drive pulley
(C).
This pulley drives a belt (D) which in turn
powers another, smaller pulley (E). This pulley
turns a shaft (F) which in turn powers another
pulley (G).
This pulley powers the side conveyor belt (H),
which helps move the bottom of the flatwork
toward the transfer conveyor.
Transfer Conveyor Drive Subsystem
Use the illustration (Figure 5-24) below to
identify the mechanical components of the
transfer conveyor drive subsystem.
The transfer conveyor drive subsystem is
powered by the reject drive system motor, which
is covered in the reject drive system section.
The reject drive system ribbons (Figure 5-20,
A) power the reject drive system idler roll (B). At
the end of this idler roll is a pulley (C).
This pulley powers a belt (D), which in turn
powers another pulley (E) attached to a drive
shaft (F).
At the other end of this drive shaft is a gear
(G), which meshes with a smaller gear (H). This
second gear is attached to a drive roll (I) which
in turn powers the transfer conveyor ribbons (J)
toward the front of the unit, carrying the flatwork
onto the reject conveyor ribbons..
