Connecting Power
Electric
The BEL 180 is single-phase 110-120 VAC. The conveyor drive system is powered by
dual gear-motors that together draw 5.5 amps
.
If required, a minimum 14 gauge (AWG)
power extension cord with standard three pin connection must be used to connect the
machine to the power source.
Compressed Air
The BEL 180 requires an air supply that must be clean and dry and at an optimal pressure
of 80 PSI. The volume of air required is 0.02 CF/cycle at 80 PSI (6 Bar). The air supply
line must be of sufficient diameter to provide an adequate amount of air without pressure
drops when the machine is cycling. A ½” air line size is recommended.
One of the most common causes of inconsistent machine performance is inadequate air
supply. Therefore, meeting machine air requirements is important to assure satisfactory
operation.
The BEL 180 is equipped with both solenoid and manual compressed air shut-off / dump
valves and a filter/regulator which should be checked daily to ensure that the air pressure
is adjusted to the proper setting, and any water drained from the filters. The BEL 180
does
not
use lubrication in the compressed air supply.
