4.3.2 Conveyor Belt Alignment:
The belt is properly aligned when it rotates in the
centre of the rollers on both ends and in the drive
box. As with tensioning, the alignment should be
checked weekly, or when necessary.
1. Rotate the conveyor belt a half revolution when
the belt is new and check the position of the belt
on the drive, discharge and hopper rollers.
Note:
If belt is out of alignment,
it will move to the loose side.
Tighten loose side or loosen tight side.
2. Loosen the roller bearing housing bolts.
3. Tighten or loosen the adjustment bolts by a
1/4 turn to 2 turns.
4. Tighten the roller bearing housings bolts.
5. Run a couple of revolutions and check again.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5, until the belt is centred.
Check frequently during the first few minutes of
operation, then several times during the first 10
hours.
Note:
New belt normally seats itself during first 10 hours
of operation. It can be checked weekly after that.
Belt Alignment inside Drive Box:
Aligning the belt, so it runs in the centre of the drive
roller, is counter-intuitive! Opposite from aligning the
end rollers (instructions above); this time you must:
- Loosen the Loose Side.
This is because the first roller to have contact with
the belt is the pinch roller, but the drive roller (second
in line) is the only one which can be adjusted.
1. Loosen the roller bearing housing bolts.
2. The mis-aligned belt will travel to towards the
loose side of the roller.
- Loosen the loose side, more.
3. Tighten the housing bolts, and run the belt to
check it’s alignment.
