"AS REQUIRED" MAINTENANCE
o Conveyor Belt Adjustment
Conveyor belt should be no tighter than necessary to eliminate slippage. Over
tensioning can lead to belt and/or bearing failure. The belt should be adjusted
by means of tensioning nuts (46).
The belt should run with equal clearance between its edges and the conveyor
unit side frames. If one edge of the belt is tighter than the other, it will tend to
run towards the slack side. This tracking defect can be eliminated by individual
adjustment of the tensioning nuts.
o SLIPPING CLUTCH
The motor drive sprocket is fitted with a slipping clutch. This is provided so
that if a foreign object causes the machine to jam the clutch will "slip"
preventing damage to the machine.
When the "slipping" clutch is bought into operation, the offtake
conveyor continues to rotate leaving the action of the machine stationary.
