Problem
:
Frequent Belt Breakage
.
Belt life will depend on the conditions of machine use but frequent breakage may be due to one or more
of the following conditions:
•
Belt tracking. Check that the belt does not try to ride up or down on the pulleys. See belt tensioning
and tracking adjustment under
Service and Maintenance Procedures
•
Belt Tension. Belts may be over-tensioned - correct setting allows approximately one inch of slack at
center point of conveyor.
•
Idler and drive pulley rotation. Check that pulleys rotate freely and that bearings are not excessively
worn or seized.
•
Rotation direction of belt. Look on the back of the belt for the type of join. Stepped-lap splice belts
must move in the direction of the arrow marked on the inside of the belt. Newer style “finger”-
spliced belts can move in either direction.
.
Problem
:
Machine Jams Frequently
.
Turn off the machine as soon as jam occurs and before clearing jam. Open Belts and raise the top tape
head, remove jammed case and debris. Check for jam causes:
•
Top tape head is adjusted too low.
•
Product is overfilled or inconsistent causing intermittent jams.
•
Top flaps are not folding correctly, flaps then hit top ski or tape head mechanism.
