1. Disconnect the outfeed motor.
2. Run belt tension tests at low, medium and
high belt speeds.
3. Connect outfeed motor.
4. Adjust the chain tensioner so that you get a
clearance according to illustration 1.
5. Check the motors pulling force by pressing
a blunt object against the chain. Refer to
illustration 1. Do this running the belt drive
system at low, medium and high speed.
6. Adjust the sprocket combination to
obtain a good chain tension at the different
speeds.
Refer to table 1 in this document. If
the chain tension varies much at
different speeds, adjust the chain tension at
the customer’s normal operating speed.
7. Run a belt tension test using a logger. The
belt tension must be at least the belt tension
that was measured without the outfeed drive
+ 50 N.
Factors that may increase the belt tension
needed at the outfeed:
•
Products that sticks to the belt.
•
Wide belts.
•
Heavy belts.
•
High stack.
•
Long outfeed rail.
•
