Maintenance 25

When performing repairs to the conveyor, it is important to remove or protect the
belt to avoid damage from welding sparks or from other tools.
Avoid using the belt for uses other than for what it was specified. If you need to utilize
the belt in a different application, consult the manufacturer first.
Conveyor Belt Tension Adjustment
Check the belt tension of the package conveyor occasionally to ensure that it is not
excessive, as this will cause unnecessary wear on the conveyor sprockets.
To Check or Adjust Conveyor Chain Tension
1. Bring a roller to the three o’clock position (the
center of the end) of the idler end of the conveyor.
2. Shut off power to the tunnel, and then remove the
idler end caps.
3. Begin with the roller in the three o’clock position
and count the conveyor rollers. The seventh roller
should be evenly touching the conveyor starter
rails.
For 48-inch width and larger tunnels, loosen center shaft
support on drive end and adjust it too if necessary.
Replacing Conveyor Components
Caution! Disconnect main power source before performing any
procedure to replace any conveyor component(s).
Roller Silicone Covering Replacement
1. Disconnect power to the machine.
2. Remove idler end caps, disconnect drive chain, loosen the four (4) bolts that hold
the drive motor and then, through the access hole, take the drive chain off the
drive motor sprocket.
NOTE: You must take the chain off the drive motor sprocket or the
conveyor will not move freely. You must be able to move the
conveyor to replace silicone covering on the rollers.
3. Remove old covering, by carefully slitting the covering and then pulling it off.
