3.6.4 Shortening conveyor chains
The most suitable place to shorten the chain is at the drive unit.
Alternatively:
• at a beam section for chain installation which has detachable sec-
tions.
• by removing the side plates of the drive or idler end unit in closed
systems.
• at a wheel bend by removing the outer curve.
• at a conveyor beam section for liftable chain (if there are any).
Instructions
1 Make the conveyor chain accessible
at some of the overhead positions.
2 Remove the steel pin (1) from the
pivot (2). Use the pin insertion tool
(see figure).
