6.
On the operator side of chute:
a) Draw conveyor centerline parallel to the conveyor belt line.
b) Draw a line at 17° from bottom hole of bottom bracket to location of
bottom hole on top bracket, or utilize a string or elastic band to locate
proper angle. Attach string to bottom hole on bottom bracket and hold it
to head pulley centerline at 6:00 o'clock position on opposite chute,
check angle, adjust angle to stay below product discharge point (see
Figures 2 & 3). Mark location for bottom hole of top side tensioner.
c) Position weld plate as shown in Figure 6. The edge of the cutout should
be tangent to the belt edge. Mark chute wall cutout as shown in Figure 6.
d) Mark upper bracket chute wall cutout as shown in Figure 6. Dimension
Y is equal to the distance between mount holes on far side bracket.
e) Cut holes in chute wall. Remove burrs and sharp edges.
f)
Center mounting brackets (A) on cutouts and weld to chute wall (see
Figure 8).
g) Mount tensioner brackets (B) onto mounting bracket using nuts (C).
Hand tighten nuts. Position top bracket with roller (D) in the upper
position and bottom bracket with roller (D) in the lower position.
7.
Mount tensioner (E) onto bracket using carriage bolts and nuts (F).
8.
Position tensioner in desired location free from obstructions and tighten nuts (F).
9.
Loosen nut (G) to the end of the threaded rod.
10.
Hold cleaner against head pulley. Make sure the thimble is parallel to the surface
of the belt.
11.
Route chain (H) through chute wall and tensioner bracket.
12.
Pull chain into hook (I).
13.
Repeat steps 6–11 for remaining tensioner.
14.
Ensure thimbles are parallel to belt (Figure 9).
15.
Tighten tensioner nut (G) until center of cleaner is held firmly against head pulley.
16.
Make sure each chain contacts roller in tensioner bracket (B) properly.
