IX. CONVEYOR BELT TRACKING
A daily glance at the three conveyor belts for proper tracking is recommended. Sometimes a change in
product size or weight can cause shifts in belt tracking. If any of the three belts has drifted to the edge of
the conveyor, adjustments are necessary. If the machine runs with an untracked belt it will eventually
destroy the belt causing poor machine operation.
Adjust Belt Tracking as follows:
Infeed Conveyor (M1
): Locate the two Phillips head machine screws near the entrance. Turning a
screw counter clockwise will cause the belt to track toward that screw. Turning a screw clockwise will
cause the belt to track away from that screw. Turn the screw ¼ turn and wait for the belt to settle as
conveyor runs full speed. Be careful not to over tension the M1 conveyor belt.
Middle and Exit Conveyors (M2/M3)
: Locate the two Phillips head machine screws. Turning a screw
clockwise will cause the belt to track toward that screw. Turning counter clockwise causes the opposite.
The M2 and M3 conveyor belts are a different material than the M1 belt. The tighter the M2 and M3
conveyors are, the better they track. If there is a tracking problem on the M2 or M3 belt, increase the
tension by turning each screw 3 or 4 full turns clockwise, then track belts turning ¼ turn at a time
between settling. Settling at full speed will take approximately five to ten minutes. There is a break in
period for the M2 and M3 belts. Some initial stretching will occur the first week or so, possibly
requiring retracking.
