5.2 Adjustment Procedure

Loosen the locking nut situated under the mount bracket. Repeat for both sides.

Turn the adjusting screw (equally on both sides) until the cleaner blades are just touching
the belt. You might need to further release the locking nut during adjustment.

Ensure that the blade position is equal across the belt
– that is, the blades are just
touching across the belt width.

Continue turning the adjusting screw equally on both sides until the spring compression
setting is measured to be equal to what is indicated in the table below. Measure the
spring compressed length using a rule or measuring tape.

Tighten the locking nuts against the mount bracket.

Start the conveyor and observe the cleaning action of the blades. Ensure that the blades
ride smoothly on the belt with no vibration.

ESS offers stronger springs for wider belts or heavy duty applications. These springs are
supplied with cleaners for belts 2600 or wider. The tensioner adjustment will differ when
these springs are used. Contact ESS Engineering Department for more information.
