5.3. INLET/LOADER INSTALLATION
The loader must be placed on the conveyor trunking so it will load in the same
direction as the belt travels. The loading point of a belt conveyor is the critical
point. Here, the conveyor belt receives major abrasion and almost all of its
impact. Ideally, material will pass from spout to belt at the same speed and
direction of travel as the belt, with a minimum amount of impact and centered on
the belt.
Off-center loading is harmful to the belt, idlers, and shafting, and will cause belt
alignment problems.

NOTICE
Loaders/inlets must be installed properly to achieve proper
loading of the belt.
Improper loading can cause damage to the conveyor
components.
