Maintenance

 

 

The  Eastey EC Series Variable  Speed Conveyor  will provide many hours of 

maintenance free operation. There are a few items that may require attention from time 

to time. 

 

 

Cleaning the Belt 

 

Make sure the belt  stays  clean and grease free. If the belt requires  a more thorough 

cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth with a mild detergent and water and let dry. 

Never 

use harsh or abrasive cleaners or chemical agents when cleaning any part of the 

machine. 

 

 

Changing the Belt 

 

Shut off power and disconnect electrical connections before beginning the belt changing 

procedure. You may choose either side from which to remove and replace the conveyor 

belt; attaching hardware on the opposite side will hold rollers and plates in position while 

rail is removed from one side. Save all removed parts and attaching hardware, noting if 

necessary were each is used. Re-use  removed parts  for  reassembly; replacing any 

excessively worn, broken, or missing parts with replacements that meet specifications of 

original parts. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. 

 

 

 

1.  Remove the magnetically-mounted control box (1) and set it aside if it is on the 

side from which you will be replacing the conveyor belt. 

 

2.  Remove attaching socket  head cap  screws and mounting  plate (2).  Set aside 

mounting plate and retain attaching hardware for re-use.
