Page 10: Chain Reel
Chain Reel Location On incline conveyors, the chain reel must be carefully installed upstream of the scale weighbridge so the chain rolls out with the movement of the belt. "Upstream" is when you look from the conveyor tail or infeed end towards the head or discharge end of conveyor. On a level conveyor, locate the reel prior to the scale position. -

Page 12: Reel Horsepower
Reels may have from one to three chain compartments (widths vary according to the width of the specific test chain). • Compartment width is one to two inches wider than the length of the chain roller pins or shafts. Each compartment is made of ¼” (6.5 mm) thick discs available in diameters of 36”... -

Page 14: Installing Test Chain And Reel
• Mechanical assistance may be required to lift the chains onto the conveyor. The Siemens Milltronics test chain storage reel requires a support steel structure for installing above the conveyor. Locate an area suitable for the storage reel for flat or inclined conveyors upstream of the belt scale’s location toward the head pulley. -
Page 15: Operation Guidelines
Installing Position local control station within direct viewing of the storage reel and the belt scale. Minimum requirements for the control station (supplied by customer): • Forward / Reverse or Raise / Lower • Three position (on, off, on) spring return configuration Upright posts constructed of angle iron may be placed at opposite end of the test chain. -
Page 16: Maintenance
Run conveyor at the normal operating belt speed and observe the performance of the test chain. The rollers of the chain should run freely without incident and track centrally to the middle of belt. No side motion or “snaking” should be observed. Snaking causes the results to be non repeatable and varying. -
