Unloading Conveyor
Jaylor mixers with a front center discharge are equipped with a hydraulically powered chain slat conveyor
for unloading and distributing the mixed rations to the feeding area.
24.6.1 Conveyor Chain Tension
To adjust the conveyor chain tension, follow this procedure:
1. Ensure the area is clear of bystanders.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop the engine, set park brake, relieve hydraulic pressure, remove
ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
3. Proper Chain Tension:
a. The chain is set at the proper tension when it runs without jumping the drive sprockets.
b. Pull up at the center of a span; the chain should come up approximately 1-1/2 inches (38 mm)
when the chain tension is properly set.
4. Adjusting Chain Tension:
a. Loosen jam nuts on adjusting bolt.
b. Loosen bearing housing anchor bolts.
c. Slide or tap housing to the required position. Use adjusting bolt to move housing if required.
d. Repeat with other housing (on opposite side of conveyor).
e. Tighten bearing housings anchor bolts to their specified torque.
f.
Tighten adjusting bolt jam nuts to their specified torque.
REMEMBER: Always move both ends of shaft the same amount to keep it parallel to the chain slats.
