  • Page 6: Basic Safety Instructions

    1.2 Basic safety instructions This operating manual serves as a basis for safe use and operation of the IBB Conveyor belt hopper. The safety instructions in this manual must be observed in particular by all persons working on or with the IBB. In addition, the rules and regulations for accident prevention for the respective place of use must be observed.
  • Page 7: Danger Areas

    Work instructions must be prepared by the operating company of the belt hopper on how to handle the product parts. This manual, in addition to the operating instructions, must be completely followed by the operator of the belt hopper. In the interest of occu- pational health and safety (such as handling cleaning agents), operating instructions are required which the operating company must prepare.

  • Page 13: Transport

    3.1 Transport The Conveyor belt hopper is transported packaged on a pallet. The center of gravity is in the center of the Conveyor belt hopper. Transport the pallet using a stable transport trolley. The unit’s weight depends on the design of the Conveyor belt hopper and can be found in the transport documents.

    ▪ Disconnect from the power supply before assembly or dis- assembly work, to switch out a fuse or when making any structural modifications. ▪ Observe the accident prevention and safety regulations ap- plicable in the specific usage case. ▪ Prior to commissioning, it must be checked whether the rated voltage of the unit matches the local mains supply.

    4 Operating Instructions 4.1 Commissioning Verify that the unit has been properly installed according the chapter 3.2.1 “Notes on safe installation” The belt hopper does not have its own control unit and must therefore be controlled by the unit that the belt hopper is integrated in. 4.1.1 Checking the belt run: Check the belt run during initial commissioning to ensure it runs centered and readjust it if necessary.
  • Page 16 The belt tension and center run on the drive and guide roller has been pre-set at the factory. The belt tension must be set so that even if the parts storage container is full (observe the max. belt capacity of your belt hopper type!) the conveyor belt does not have a gap. The belt tension is adjusted by turning the round-head screws on the tensioning revers- ing heads.
  • Page 17: Maintenance Instructions

    5 Maintenance Instructions 5.1 Cleaning If necessary, clean the conveyor belt and both tensioning reversing heads with alcohol and a clean lint-free rag. For food industry operations, use an approved alcohol replace- ment. 5.2 Conveyor belt After a two-week run-in period, check the tension and the centering of the conveyor belt and correct it as necessary.
