10. 4 x 5 Distributor Platform (Optional)
Chapter 10: 4 x 5 Distributor Platform (Optional)
The distributor platform is optional and only used on bucket elevators that have a distributor spout. The
platform is used to access the distributor for maintenance and control adjustments. The platform should
be located below the distributor head. NOTE: That the clamp installation to the trunking is different for
16", 24" and the 30"-36" but the rest of the assembly is the same.
16"-24" Clamp Band Installation
Attach Top Clamp Band to Trunking (for 24" Instructions, see Steps 3 and 4 .)
1. Slide rods of clamp rod weldment into inside set of holes of clamp bands for 16" assembly. Fasten
together using four (4) 1/2" hex flange nuts.
2. Line up the holes on the clamp strut with the set of holes closest to the bend on both of the
16"-24" long clamp clips and fasten all three (3) together using four (4) 1/2" x 1" bolts and nuts. This
will create the clamp strut assembly.
3. Assemble the clamp band weldment, clamp channel and clamp strut assembly at one time around
the trunking. Place clamp rod weldment assembly around the trunking leg and line up holes on
16"-24" long clips and clamp channel with the outside set of holes on the clamp rod weldment.
Fasten all three (3) together using six (6) 1/2" x 1" bolts and nuts.
4. Line up the holes located at the end of the distributor support channels with the holes at the end of
the 16"-24" long clamp clips. Fasten the support channels to the long clamp clips using four (4)
1/2" x 1" bolts and nuts.
