10.3.7.4
Conveyor Belt Maintenance
Setting your conveyor with the proper belt tension
helps to ensure trouble free operation and a long
belt life.
1.
The conveyor belt should be difficult to pull
off the side of the hopper transition. If it is
not, the belt will require tightening.
2. The conveyor belt needs to be tight enough
that it does not slip on the drive roller.
a. If the belt is too loose, it will slip on the
drive roller making a noticeable sound and
slowing the belt down.
For detailed instructions on how to set proper belt
tension, refer to
Section 10.3.7.4.1.1 or 10.3.7.4.2.1
depending on conveyor design.
1. If the belt is still too loose but the adjustment
bolts are fully tightened, then the belt must
be shortened or replaced (depending on the
condition of the belt).
a. Refer to
Section 10.3.7.4.3
for belt
relacing.
b. Refer to
Section 10.3.7.4.1.3
or
10.3.7.4.2.3
for belt replacement, depending on
conveyor design.
