Belt Replacements

A normal maintenance item on a belt conveyor is the replacement of belts. Prior to ordering, it is necessary to make sure you have the correct Serial Number of the conveyor to ensure the proper belt is ordered. To install:

Belt Installation:

On End Drive Units, set the tail pulley (See Figure 1) to its full retracted position by loosening the flange bearing bolts on both ends of the pulley and running out the adjuster screws to their maximum.

On Center Drive Units, set the take-up pulley (See Figure 2) to its full retracted position by loosening the jam nuts on both adjuster screws and running out the adjuster screws to their maximum. If provided, set both tail pulleys to their full retracted position by loosening the flange bearing bolts on both ends of the pulley and running out the adjuster screws to their maximum. Unroll the conveyor belting, and pull belting along conveyor bed with the carrying side up. Note: With standard PVC black belting, the smooth, dark black surface must be installed up for normal operation. Installation with this surface down will cause excessive friction and increased drive force.

Belt Routing

Route belting is typically as shown in Figures 1 or 2.

Match ends of belt together. Check ends of belt. They must be flush with no missing laces. Install lacing pin.
