14.3 CONVEYOR BELT ALIGNMENT
Figure 15
If the conveyor belt starts slipping or moving sideways after a while or after new installation,
please use the instruction as described below for re-tensioning: (See fig. 1)
1. At first check if the rollers and inside of the conveyor belt are clean. If necessary clean
the polluted parts.
2. Un-tension the belt and place on both sides of the belt 2 measure marks on a distance of
1000mm (39.4”).
3. Adjust the spanners (2+3) on both sides evenly till the distance between the marks has
increased to an initial dimension of 1004mm (39.5”). Carry out adjustments on both sides
in small steps.
4. Run the conveyor belt only slowly so that any run off tendency can be detected quickly
and rectified before any damage occurs.
5.
If the belt keeps slipping adjust the spanners evenly till a maximum of 1010mm (39.8”)
6. If the conveyor belts tends to move to the left give a little more tension on the left spanner
(2). And if the conveyor belt moves to the right give a little more tension to the right
spanner (3). Carry out adjustments in small steps.
7. After each adjustment, allow the belt to rotate for at least 10 rotations to position itself to
the new alignment before making any further corrections.
8. If the belt is working properly again check if the spanners are securely locked against
moving.
