Replacing and tensioning the out-feed conveyor belt
The instructions for tensioning and aligning the out-feed conveyor are presented in Section 4.5.
Replace the out-feed conveyor belt as follows:
1.
Pull out the pin locking the conveyor in place and lower the conveyor to the ground.
2.
Shut the machine down and disconnect it from its power sources.
3.
Move the belt joint to the start of the conveyor.
4.
Fold the conveyor, but do not place the belt support in the transport position. This will allow the belt
to hang loose.
5.
Disconnect the joint by opening the bolts.
6.
Remove the old belt.
7.
First, insert the new belt under the folded conveyor (bottom opening) from the end of the conveyor
with the plates facing downwards. Feed the belt in until you can pull it out from the other end of the
conveyor. Pull out a length of approx. 60 cm.
8.
Push the other end of the belt into the upper section of the folded conveyor (top opening) from the
end of the conveyor. Feed it in until you can connect the joint.
9.
Pull the excess belt to the start of the conveyor.
10.
Lower the conveyor back to the operating position and tension the belt.
The belt is at the correct tension when its middle section is raised approx. 15 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 bearings.
5.4.3.
Replacing the out-feed conveyor plates
The out-feed conveyor plates can be replaced by disconnecting the bolt joints (3 x M8) fastening the
plates and replacing the plates with new ones. It is recommended that you move the belt into a
position that puts the plate to be replaced above the conveyor. Turn off the machine and disconnect it
from the power source for the duration of the procedure.
