7.8.4 Adjusting the chamber belt tensioner
The tension of the belts is under the influence of the force from the twin springs on both sides of the cham-
ber.
Figure 7.20 :
Belt tensioner, right side
Basic settings:
Turn the nut B, until there’s a clearance A of 1 mm between the coils (Figure 7.20).
NOTE: When pressing very light and dry materials, such as hay and wooden chips, the material might have
some problems to start rotating. If such problem occurs, the clearance must be reduced. A = 0 - 1mm.
7.8.5 Replacing chamber belt
Clean the chamber. Use a high pressure washer.
Remember to secure the chamber door lifting cylinders before entering the chamber
Remove the damaged belt using a knife and cut the belt crosswise. Be observant of the rotation direction.
Hook the new belt to the old one and use the chamber motor to pull the belt into place. Use caution when
using the chamber motor. De-tension the belt before replacing belts. Fit the new belt and insert the lock-
ing rod as shown. Secure the locking rod by mounting the two washers, one on each side
(Figure 7.21).
