Unloading Conveyor
Jaylor mixers can be equipped with a hydraulically powered chain slat conveyor for unloading and
distributing mixed rations to the feeding area. While there are several unloading conveyor options
available, service for each assembly is essentially the same.
27.6.1 Conveyor Chain Tension
To adjust the conveyor chain tension, follow this procedure:
1. Ensure the area is clear of bystanders.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop the engine, set park brake, relieve hydraulic pressure, remove
ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or
unplugging.
3. Chain Tension:
a. The chain is set at the proper tension when it runs without jumping the drive sprockets.
b. Pull up at the centre of a span.
c. The chain should come up approximately 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) when the chain tension is
properly set.
4. Setting:
a. Loosen jam nuts on adjusting bolt.
b. Loosen bearing housing anchor bolts.
c. Slide or tap housing to the required position. Use adjusting bolt to move housing if required.
d. Repeat with other housing.
e. Tighten bearing housings anchor bolts to their specified torque.
f.
Tighten adjusting bolt jam nuts to their specified torque.
IMPORTANT:
Always move both ends of the shaft equally to keep the shaft square to the chain.
