Chain tension, conveyor (27)
The adjusting screws (27.1) are located
at the front of the crossbeam.
The conveyor chain tension should not
be too taut or too slack. An excessively
taut chain can cause the chain to be
stopped or to break when material falls
into the space between the chain and
the sprocket.
An excessively slack chain may catch on protruding objects and be destroyed.
For the daily visual inspection, peer hor-
izontally below the bumper. The chain
must not hang below the bottom edge of
the bumper.
If the chain has to be adjusted, measure
the distance between the lower edge of
the bottom plate and the bottom edge of
the chain when the chain is relieved (see
Figure).
