Starting

Starting

When the band conveyor is started for the first time, the belt’s position on the rollers should be checked. The belt must not move obliquely.

If the belt moves obliquely.

When the belt moves obliquely. Screw one adjusting screw at a time. Only screw a 1/4 turn. Wait and let the belt move for a few minutes. Check, adjust, wait, and check again until the belt moves straight.

Belt tension.

The conveyor belt’s length has 1% tolerance. Never tension the belt’s adjusting screws with a greater tightening torque than 5 Nm.

Maintenance

During all maintenance work on the band conveyor, both the circuit-breaker and the main circuit-breaker must be “Off”. Alternatively, the connector must be pulled out of the power point!

Regularly check the conveyor belt’s wear and its position on the rollers. The belt must not move obliquely! Adjust as necessary according to the instructions under “Starting - If the belt moves obliquely” (see previous Section).

Clean the belt using a light cleaning agent. Do not use any sharp objects, strong cleaning agents or chemicals which can damage the belt.
