Maintenance and storage

7. Belt tension

In order to guarantee optimal operation, belt tension

must be checked and adjusted if necessary every 100
hours (or more often in case of frequent feeding with
tough products).

The belt tension is adjusted using the screw rod (1) nut

(2) and check nut (3).

In the engaged position, the spring tension must be set

to L = 180 mm (0’7’’) (length of compressed spring).
