Replacing and tightening the belt of the output conveyor
The tightening and alignment of the output conveyor is instructed in Section 4.5.
Replace the belt of the output conveyor as follows:
1.
Pull out the pin locking the conveyor in place, and lower the conveyor to the ground.
2.
Shut down the splitter and disconnect it from its power sources.
3.
Move the belt joint to the beginning of the conveyor.
4.
Fold the conveyor, but do not place the belt support in the transport position. This will allow the belt
to hang loose.
5.
Disconnect the joint by opening the bolts.
6.
Remove the old belt.
7.
First, insert the new belt under the folded conveyor (bottom opening) from the end of the conveyor
with the plates facing down. Feed the belt in until you can pull it out from the other end of the
conveyor. Pull out a length of approx 60 cm.
8.
Push the other end of the belt into the upper section of the folded conveyor (top opening) from the
end of the conveyor. Feed it in until you can connect the joint.
9.
Pull the excess belt to the beginning of the conveyor.
10.
Lower the conveyor back to the operating position and tighten the belt.
The belt is at the correct tension when its middle section is raised approx. 15 cm when the conveyor is in
the operating position.
An excessively tight belt may be damaged more easily, and it places unnecessary
strain on the conveyor's bearings.
