Drip trays and drip catchers
Introduction
General information
Drip tray attachment requires drip tray brackets, which
are screwed on to the side of the conveyor beam. It is rec-
ommended that one bracket is positioned at each end of
the drip tray, as well as one additional bracket per meter
if the length of the drip tray exceeds one meter.
The screw slots in the drip tray brackets make it pos-
sible to adjust the height of the drip tray below the con-
veyor beam. If you have drain outlets along the drip tray
system, for example, you may want to have inclining drip
trays so that waste fluid flows to these outlets.
Using drip trays as a safety guard
The XLDB 21×100 drip tray bracket is equipped with a
key hole function. When mounted in the upper “hole” of
the key hole, the drip tray serves as a safety guard, pre-
venting access to the return side of the chain. (See fig. 1
below.)
Caution:
Drip pans with sealing joints may be stiff
to mount on to the drip tray. You should
therefore avoid holding your fingers
between the drip pan and the drip tray as
you are pressing the pan towards the the
drip tray (see illustration below). The resistance
could suddenly release and may cause fingers to get
caught. (See fig. 2 below.)
X_DT and XHDS cutting lengths
How to use the table:
1
Measure the length of conveyor X_CB or X_CB_N,
under which you will mount the drip tray.
2
In the table, look up the products that will be mounted
adjacent to the drip tray. Read the value where the
row and the column corresponds.
3
Add the values from the table to the total length of the
conveyor beam, as measured in step 1. If the value in
the table is negative, it should be subtracted from the
total length of the conveyor beam.
4
Cut drip trays X_DT and drip catchers XHDS to the
calculated lengths.

Example
An XL conveyor beam is 500 mm long.
The XLDT drip tray that is to be placed underneath the
beam will be connected to one XLDV drip pan for vertical
bend, and one XLDD end pan for idler end unit.
The table for cutting lengths reads +80 for XLDT/X_DV,
and +55 for XLDT/X_DD.
This means that the length of the drip tray should be 500
+ 80 + 55 mm = 635 mm.
See illustration below.
