Step Procedure Description
2. Railing Place container to run on the SpeedGlider in timing screw pocket. Allow for 1/16 of a gap as
Adjustment shown below.
Vertical Height Adjustment
There is no precise adjustment for retainer railing, but railings can be adjusted vertically to
maintain container alignment along the conveyor. This is determined by the height of the
container. As a rule of thumb, set the upper rail at the widest part of the container, usually
midway up the side.
Horizontal Width Adjustment
Retainer railing can be adjusted for width by using the container itself. Place the container
on the conveyor belt and loosen the cross-clamps and corresponding thumb screws. With
the container up against the timing screw pocket surface, move the railing to create a 1/16
inch gap between rail and container surface.
3. Replace Note: Timing screws are made for specific size containers. Depending upon the size
Timing Screw variances in containers timing screw replacement may not be require.
