Machine maintenance and care
11.9 Crossover conveyor, discharge conveyor or conveyor extension
• Check the tension of the respective conveyor before each start-
up.
A wrong tension may cause damage to the conveyor.
• Straighten the conveyor by means of the clamping screws
(Fig. 95/2) if the conveyor is not running straight or is rubbing
along the frame.
• Clean the driving, supporting and guide rollers if fodder residues
have piled up on the rollers.
• Lubricate the 4 flanged bearings of the conveyor at least every
25 service hours.
A properly tightened conveyor sags by approx. 10 to 15 mm in
the centre. Consider the ambient temperature. Low
temperatures shorten the conveyor, high temperatures lengthen
it.
11.9.1 Check the conveyor for visible defects
Check the conveyor (1) and the belt fastener (2)
of the respective conveyor weekly for visible
defects. Replace the conveyor in case of
damage (fissures, raised corners).
