5.2.3 CONVEYOR BELT TENSION/ALIGNMENT OR REPLACEMENT
Conveyor belts are used to move potatoes with the
machine. The tension and alignment of the convey-
ors should be checked daily to insure proper function.
Replace the conveyor when damaged or badly worn.
To maintain conveyor belt(s), follow this procedure:
1. Place all controls in their OFF or neutral position.
2. Turn the power OFF at the master panel and lock-
out tag-out.
3. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
4.
Tension:
The belts are tensioned correctly when there is a
1 to 2 inch (25 - 50 mm) sag on the bottom or
slack side of the conveyor during operation and
the belts should not slip during operation.
NOTE
If a belt slips during operation, locate
the "take-up" end of the belt; then on
both sides of the "take-up" end, loosen
the hardware securing the adjusters
and bearings. Tighten the belt equally
on each side; then tighten all hardware
to specified torque.
