Conveyor Assembly
MAKE SURE TO READ ASSEMBLY
OVERVIEW ON PAGE 9 FIRST.
1. Intermediate sections are supplied in stan-
dard ten foot (10') lengths. Depending on
your application and individual specifications
however, shorter sections may be required to
accommodate a desired overall length.
2. After making sure the flanges are aligned,
tighten all hardware on the trough section.
(It is recommended that the flanges are
caulked to insure sealing from dust and
outside moisture.)
3. During assembly of the intermediate sec-
tions, carefully inspect each flange joint to
ensure that the inside bottom and side sur-
faces of the intermediates are flush. A chalk
line is helpful during this phase of the assem-
bly to ensure the proper alignment of the
intermediate section surfaces. The maxi-
mum run-out in any direction should be
+/- 1/4". Make sure the conveyor is level in
horizontal applications.
4. Proceed by attaching the head and tail
assemblies using the same alignment proce-
dures and precautions noted in the preceding
paragraph.
It is critical for straitness of the conveyor
that the sides and bottom flanges are
aligned flush. Also, it is important that the
inside dimensions of the box measure
equidistant from side-to-side both top and
bottom of the intermediate section
(Dimension A = Dimension B). See diagram
below.
