Conveyor Belt Installation
1.
With tension removed from the Conveyor Frame (see Conveyor Belt Removal), and all Shielding
removed.
2.
Determine the top and bottom surface of the Conveyor Belt. The bottom surface will have a ridge that
aligns with a channel on the Conveyor Frame. The top surface will be smooth.
3.
Working clockwise, with the loose Conveyor Belt sitting on top of the Conveyor Frame feed the
Conveyor Belt down between the Mounting Bracket and Conveyor Frame, across the bottom span, and
up between the Conveyor Frame and Mounting Bracket on the other side. Be careful not to allow the
loose end of the Conveyor Belt to fall and undo the work previously completed.
4.
Bring the two Conveyor Belt ends together, one hand on each end and slide the conveyor belt back and
forth to ensure smooth travel. The Ridge on the bottom of the Conveyor Belt should be seated within
the channel on the Conveyor Frame, and Channels on the end rollers. The edges of the Conveyor Belt
should seat within the highest and lowest edges of the Conveyor Frame sides.
5.
After smooth travel of the belt is verified lay both ends together on the flat Conveyor Frame. This
process is easiest in the middle of the conveyor span. The Alligator Clip needs to be aligned so that
both edges of the conveyor are equal.
6.
Insert the Hinge Pin from the operator side
through the center channel of the aligned
Alligator Clips pushing back towards the machine.
The Hinge Pin will fit with equal spacing front and
back within the width of the conveyor. If the
Hinge Pin is bent or deformed please replace,
additional Hinge Pins were included with the
purchase, and are available through MUNCH Machine.
7.
With the Hinge pin in place check again for proper alignment and smooth travel of the Conveyor Belt.
The Conveyor Belt should not guide itself up onto the Conveyor Frame edges or work its way out of
alignment in any direction. If the Conveyor Belt is out of alignment return to step 5 and repeat the
process until the Conveyor Belt has smooth, straight travel.
Conveyor Belt Tension
1.
With the Conveyor Belt Installed loosely around the Conveyor Frame and the Hinge Pin Installed.
