Production Line Placement of Infeed Conveyor:
1. Install Infeed Conveyor in production line.
When installing the Infeed Conveyor, be sure to
observe the following guidelines.
a. Infeed Conveyor must be installed level – it is not
designed to convey boxes uphill.
b. Production Line must convey boxes to
Infeed Conveyor at the target speed indicated in
Specifi cations (Section 4) and can be set as shown
in Figure 7-6.
c. Precautions must be taken to prevent excessive
box pressure against the Infeed Conveyor infeed gate.
This will help to prevent damage to the boxes and
ensure proper performance.
d. Infeed and exit conveyors must provide straight
entrance and exit of boxes to/from Infeed Conveyor
and exit conveyor must positively convey boxes away
from machine
1. Remove the conveyor and the package of parts
from the carton.
2. Verify that the package contains two fl at plates,
four (4) M8 x 20 hex socket head screws, and
