CONVEYOR BELT TRACKING
A daily glance at the conveyor belts for proper tracking is recommended. Sometimes a change in product
size or weight can cause shifts in belt tracking. If any of the belts have drifted to the edge of the conveyor,
adjustments are necessary. If the machine runs with an untracked belt it will eventually destroy the belt
causing poor machine operation.
Adjust Belt Tracking as follows:
Locate the two 1/4-28x3 SHCS (allen head) tracking screws. (Look for half circle notches in top or ends
of conveyor guards). Turn the screw 1/4 turn and wait for the belt to settle as conveyor runs full speed.
The key is to make small moves so tracking does not get out of hand.
If the belt does not track with the above procedure, or if any work has been done in which the
conveyor side plates have been removed, do the following:
Firstly, remove the slack in the belt with equal turns to both adjusting screws. Slack has been removed
when belt does not slip over drive roller with a hand on the belt. Adjust tension screws 3 full turns,
increasing the tension. Let the drive roller bearings equalize by loosening their mounts. After this
adjustment, retighten bearings where they align to. Tighten adjusting screws an additional complete turn.
Now proceed with tracking the belt following the previous paragraph on belt tracking.
