7.14.3.1 Tensioning conveyor chains
ATTENTION
Regularly check the bunker floor. Soil stuck to the bunker floor must be scraped off at
least daily. The soil may tension the conveyor too much. This may lead to breaking of
the conveyor chain.
Longitudinal conveyor and cross conveyor may not be tensioned tightly. Both convey-
ors should be tightened so much that the conveyor chains, when they have run over
the drive wheel, run cleanly between the two plastic guide bars on the bottom. The
chain should not have to move upward onto the guide bar from below. If this should be
the case, then the tension is too low. The corresponding cross conveyor chain must
then be retensioned.
Retensioning is required now!
