Belting Assembly
Squareness of the Conveyor
1. Before tracking procedure is begun, each
section should be square and straight so
there is no unequal weight distribution. Check
conveyor intermediate sections for any
extensive damage such as cave-in sides,
etc. Idlers should be checked for looseness. If
idlers are loose, re-center and tighten set
screws on bearing lock collar.
2. After intermediate sections are bolted
together, a chalk line should be strung along
the sides of the conveyor, making sure that it
is in a straight line. Loosening bolts on the
intermediate frames will permit slight
adjustment of the intermediate sections.
3. After conveyor has been installed, check to
see if the unit is level (width wise). The
conveyor must be level for proper belt
tracking.
