3.4 Tails
The RLVAC tail section is a 36” conveyor section that contains the tail pulley and a snub roller. The tail
sections are always placed as the first and last bed sections in an AC mark number. Rollers in the tail
section are banded together to transmit power from the live zone in the section to the rollers above the tail
pulley.
Optional power takeoff (PTO) timing pulleys may also be installed on a tail section to drive an additional
conveyor section from the belt of the RLVAC conveyor.
3.5 Intermediate Beds
Intermediate beds contain one or more live roller zones and modules. An intermediate bed consists of
conveying rollers on the top, with pressure rollers mounted in modules below. The belt will be routed
between the conveying rollers and the pressure rollers during installation. See Figure 4: RLVAC
Intermediate Bed Exploded View for details.
