Safety instructions The instructions and especially the safety information must be read carefully prior to assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance. All plants and components must be installed in accordance with the applicable accident prevention regulations. The machine must be shielded correctly in relation to the current Machine Directive, and as such make it impossible to get in touch with moving parts.
Page 7
Also, it must be ensured that the machine outlets are not clogged. As SRL60 chain conveyor as standard is not mounted with an overflow sensor, it will depend on the motor protection if the chain conveyor is clogged.
Use of the machine The chain conveyor is designed for conveying of grain and almost all seeds and flour products within agriculture. (see material specifications in general references). The chain conveyor may not be used for tasks beyond these. The chain conveyor is driven by a gear motor. It moves the conveying material from an inlet to an outlet.
Explanation of the Pictogram Prior to repair, maintenance and cleaning work, turn off the motor and unplug the power cord. Moving parts can be dangerous. They are only to be touched when they are completely at ease. All shielding must be mounted before you start the machine. Grease injector Vers.
SRL60 inlet is standard with Ø250 in- and outlet. SRL60 (10°-30° ascend or with 30° bend) is standard with outlet Q24. Piping requires a 45° fall for grain and the like to be able to slide. When working with seeds and hard flowing products, the sliding angle is somewhat larger.
Technical data Technical data Noise level: Operation with grain 76 dB(A) Without grain 70 dB(A) Motor capacity: Between 2,2 kW and 7,5 kW. See the data plat of the motor for further information. Gear: Varvel RT/RS Synthetic gear oil ISO VG 320 ”long-life” oil Vers.

Mounting of SRL60 Mounting of the chain conveyor as described in this section is a guideline from SØBY. If this is followed, you are ensured a safe and uniform assembly of the chain conveyor. The machine can also be assembled in other ways.
Page 15
The SRL60 chain conveyor is supplied in separate parts. Before starting the mounting please control that all parts are complete and supplied according to the order. Calculate the assembly order of drive-tension section, extensions and outlet sections. When the assembly order has been defined, dismount all the covers on extensions and outlet sections, and remove the chain and the assembly components.
Page 16
When the sections have been assembled and put in place, the chain is put in and pulled around the chain wheels at the ends; please note the assembly of chain compared to the direction of rotation (see figure 3). Return chain Figure 3 Conveying chain Conveying direction...

The chain tensioning bolts are loosened to the maximum and the chain is tightened with tackle or clamp and the chain is assembled with the supplied connectors. Thereafter, the chain is adjusted with the tensioning bolts (figure 4 position1). Remember to loosen the motor bracket (figure 4 position2).

If the chain conveyor must be placed outside, the electric motors must be protected against moisture, for this purpose we can supply rain covers. When the rain cover must be mounted this replaces the normal gear console (see figure 4), as the rain cover itself is both cover as well as gear console (see figure 5,2).
Page 21
Figure 6 shows a horizontal chain conveyor The covers for the extension sections and the outlet sections are mounted. Where the inlets are to be placed, a hole is cut in the cover to fit with the transition in question (see figure 6). Figure 6 If the chain conveyor must be placed in an angle of 10°-30°, a chain conveyor with intermediate plate and extended flights is used.
Page 22
Mounting of intermediate outlet In this section you will find a small explanation with text and pictures, where an intermediate outlet is mounted on a chain conveyor. An intermediate outlet is available both as manual, remote or motor controlled. The intermediate outlet can be supplied with an end stop switch, which will signal to the control of the conveying unit about the position of the slide (open/closed).
Page 23
When mounting the intermediate outlet, the bottom plate must be cut out and removed from where the intermediate outlet should be placed. The dimension of the hole to be cut for the intermediate outlet must be the same as the width of the intermediate outlet + 5 mm (see drawing below).

Pit conveyors are assembled in the same way as standard chain conveyors. Regarding pit, it is important that the slope of the sides is maximum 80° in order to enable the crops to slip freely to the chain conveyor. Between the inclined sides of the conveyor and the concrete, cover plates, which are fastened to the concrete, must be mounted.
Page 28
Normally a service pit is established in continuation of the pit, where interconnection with e.g. an elevator can be made. Construct this pit as large as possible enabling you to service the chain conveyor as well as the elevator (see figure 15). Figure 15 Vers.
Page 29
If there are problems with the groundwater when digging a service pit, or if you want to use a pit conveyor together with a tip box placed on a level floor, you can use an extension with bend and a modified outlet. This raises the outlet of the chain conveyor (see figure 16).

Electrical equipment The electrical connection to the machines delivered by SØBY may only be performed by specially trained staff. During installation, please be aware of the voltage and data indicated on the data plate. The terminals of the motor are connected according to the instructions on the motor data plate.
Operating and commissioning During operation of the chain conveyor, the applicable regulations for prevention of accidents must be observed. Add conveying material to the chain conveyor and check if this can run off freely. Avoid as far as possible operation with an empty chain conveyor as this causes considerable wear of material and bearings, and this will generate significantly more noise from the chain conveyor.
Maintenance During maintenance work, the precautions described in the safety instructions must be observed. The chain conveyor is worn, depending on amount of dirt in the material conveyed, and must be checked once a year for abrasion or damages. Foreign objects, such as pieces of wood, stone or iron, may cause damages.
