Tracking

If the conveyor tracks to either side, then the tracking must be corrected or the conveyor will load up to one side and could rip or tear and have to be replaced.

Replacing a damaged conveyor is a big job. Always be careful to make sure that the belt does not travel too far to one side or the other.

Tracking the conveyor is a balancing process that takes patience and some trial-and-error. Usually you must tight- en the loose side (the side the belt is tracking towards) to make the conveyor move to the middle of the rollers, then loosen that same side to make the conveyor stay in position. If you adjust the bolt too much either way, then you have to repeat the process until the conveyor rides in the middle and stays there during continuous operation.

To track the conveyor, do these steps:

1.Make sure the drums are perpendicular to the feed direction (parallel with the conveyor roller). Go to

Page 38.

2.Turn the conveyor ON and watch it track.

3.Determine which side the conveyor is tracking towards (the loose side) and tension the adjustment bolt on that side until the conveyor tracks in the opposite direction. Note: Tracking changes may take up to three minutes before they are noticeable.

4.When the conveyor is near the middle of the rollers or table, loosen the adjustment bolt until the conveyor stops moving and tracks straight.

—If the conveyor tracks too far to the other side, then adjust the bolt as necessary to bring it back and repeat Steps 2 & 3 until the tracking is cor- rect.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.
