Conveyor maintenance
7.1
Replacing and tightening the belt of the input conveyor
Replace the belt of the input conveyor
as follows:
1.
Shut down the splitter and
disconnect it from its power
sources.
2.
Raise and lock the input
conveyor into the transport
position. (See Section 3.2).
3.
Move the belt joint to a suitable
height.
4.
Disconnect the joint by using,
for example, pliers to pull out
the pin (A) holding the joint
together.
5.
Remove the old belt.
6.
Slide the new belt under the
table from the side of the input
conveyor's drive roller until you
can pull the belt out from the
other end (C).
7.
Lead the rest of the belt under
the wood press, around the
rear roller and, finally, behind
the conveyor.
8.
Connect the joint by inserting
the pin A in the joint.
9.
Turn the conveyor back to the
operating position and tighten
the belt.

The belt is at the correct tension when its middle section is raised approx. 5 cm when the conveyor is in
the operating position. An excessively tight belt may be damaged more easily, and it places unnecessary
strain on the conveyor's bearings.
7.2
Adjusting the pressure of the input conveyor's motor
The Easy models include an adjustable check valve, which can be used to adjust the pressure of the input
conveyor's hydraulic motor. The adjustable check valve is located in the same space as the splitting valve,
for example, and it also affects the force of the
lifting motion
performed by the lifting flange cylinder.
The need for hydraulic pressure increases particularly when a separate wood holder (for example,
Woodran 422) is connected to the splitter. If this is the case, more than one hydraulic motor is covered by
