    Mechanical installation Note When lifting the SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder, connect to the lifting points at the legs of the unit, and follow local governing code for lifting/hoisting. Perform a thorough and systematic inspection of containers immediately upon receipt of your Siemens weighfeeder.
  • Page 16: Installation

    Securely fasten the unit to the rigid, level structure constructed in Step 1 (Page 14). Use a level for verification and shim as necessary. Prevent any twisting of the frame that may affect weighfeeder performance. Note The inlet and discharge of the weighfeeder will not support load.

    Shear gate The shear gate on the inlet of the weighfeeder needs to be set to allow the maximum feedrate capacity required. Consult your Siemens representative if feed rate changes are required. Skirtboards The skirtboards have been factory set to proper specifications. Note that near the inlet, the skirtboards are very close to the belt.

    From the access side of the feeder at the discharge end, grab the edge of the belt and gently pull it over the side rail, making sure that the leading edge of the belt does not catch on any components. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
  • Page 27: Belt Tension

    Specific belt tension cannot be given because the weighfeeder could be mounted in various applications. As a general guideline, the bottom of the belt should droop 1-2 inches over the SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...

    2. Loosen the jam nut. 3. Turn the adjusting screw in the desired direction. Often, only a small amount of adjustment (1 turn or less) will be required. SITRANS WW310 Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA...
  • Page 29 5. Re-tighten the jam nut located on the telescoper to maintain the new telescoper position after completing the tracking procedure. 6. If you are having problems tracking the belt, consult your Siemens representative. Common causes of belt tracking problems are: uneven or improperly distributed product loading, twisted frame, or product build-up on head or tail pulleys.
  • Page 30: Load Cell Replacement

    If a load cell on SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder has been damaged and is not functioning, or if you are changing the capacity, you will need to replace one or all load cells.
