Box Drive Belt Tension
The four continuously moving drive belts convey boxes through the tape applying mechanism. The box drive belts are powered by electric motors.
Tension adjustment of these belts may be required during normal operation. Belt tension must be adequate to positively move the box through the machine and the belts should run fully on the surface of the pulleys at each end of the frame. The idler pulleys on the infeed end are adjusted in or out to provide proper belt tension. Each belt is adjusted separately.
Belt tension is obtained by tightening the adjustment screw so that a moderate pulling force of 3.5 kg [7 lbs.] applied at the midspan, as shown in Figure
