Conveyor Trippers; Skirt Boards And Sealing Strips - Siemens Milltronics WD600 Operating Instructions Manual

Installing/Mounting
4.2 Conveyor considerations
4.2.6

Conveyor trippers

Note
On a conveyor with a tripper car, locate the scale under the recommendations for vertical
curves, but with the tripper fully retracted.
4.2.7

Skirt boards and sealing strips

Sometimes it is necessary to extend the infeed skirt boards and sealing strips the full length of
the conveyor. This can create problems in weighing accuracy if the sealing strips exert excess
force when contacting the belt and indirectly upon the idlers, especially where pinching occurs.
The situation adversely affects the zero calibrations.
Note
If possible, remove skirting in scale area. If not, adjust skirting so sealing strip does not put
excess force on the belt or allow pinching of material.
