8.3 Changing the conveyer belt

8.3 Changing the conveyer belt
ALWAYS STOP the belt, lock-out, and/or place a "Do Not Energize" tag on the main
disconnect before working on or around the weighfeeder.
Depending on the size of the weighfeeder, several personnel may be required to remove and re-
install the belt.
Step 1
On enclosed models, open and remove the access and non-access side panels.
Step 2
Mark the position of the telescopers for reference. This will be a reference when you re-install
the belt. Loosen the telescopers to remove tension from the belt.
Step 3
Remove support posts on the belt change side, and the belt side roller below the belt plow,
remove tension from the belt scraper, and remove all other components for belt changing.
Note
Skirtboard removal or adjustment is not normally necessary to perform belt removal or
installation, nor is it recommended. However, if the belt has a corrugated sidewall this will be
required.
Step 4
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.
