Installation Instructions
|
|
The alignment of the conveyor support structure and pulleys is critical to the successful operation of the conveyor system. |
|
Mount idler base onto structure and fix to steelwork through the appropriate slots in the foot plate. Ensure that the base is slid in the direction of the belt travel until the foot pads seat against the mounting bolts. |
|
Having confirmed that the conveyor support is correctly aligned and that idler mounting holes on either side of the conveyor are both equidistant from the belt centre line and perpendicular to the belt line proceed to install the conveyor idlers as follows:
Ensure that the idler base is correctly positioned with respect to belt travel — confirm by means of belt direction arrow. Melco idler bases are designed to operate with the centre roll (in an offset idler) being closest to the conveyor tail end.
|
|
Install idler rolls into appropriate fixing slots. Ensure that the shaft is fully seated in the slot. |
|
Ensure that final alignment is correct and tighten all idler mounting bolts securely with a wrench. |
