Page 10: Introduction To Narrow Belt Sortation
Introduction to Narrow Belt Sortation CONCEPT The TGW Systems NBS Narrow Belt Sorter technology was developed to provide an economic alternative to existing sortation devices, as well as providing sorting options that were not easily available. This technology is similar to sorters that use wide flat load carrying belts and pop-up wheels to divert product but has eliminated many of the high cost / maintenance features associated with these sorters. -
Page 11: Nbs Application
NBS IOM NBS Application NBS Selection Guidelines Use NBS When: • Medium to high speed sortation is required • Product may be same size and weight, or mixed • Product weight: 1-75 lbs, 1500 lbs. total load • Product size: 6"... - Page 12 NBS IOM GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ELEVATION (TOB) The minimum elevation at the discharge end of an NBS sortation line is 24". The drive unit is located there and requires a space 24" high by 60" long by the frame width. Extra room along side the drive should be provided to allow maintenance personnel access to either side of the drive unit.

Page 13: Receiving & Site Preparation
Receiving & Site Preparation GENERAL TGW Systems NBS Narrow Belt Sorters are shipped in subassemblies. These subassemblies are packaged to guard against damage in shipment, when handled properly. Examination immediately following unloading will show if any damage was caused during shipment. If damage is evident, claims for recovery of expenses to repair damage or replace components must be made against the carrier immediately. -
Page 14: General Procedures
NBS IOM General Procedures The following procedures are to be used as guidelines only. Specific installation methods will vary somewhat depending on available equipment on site and each installer's preferences based on past experience. WARNING The Installation Supervisor must be experienced with conveyor and qualified in the mechanics of the equipment and enforce safe working procedures for the protection of the crew, customer, and customer's property. - Page 15 NBS IOM IMPORTANT!

Page 16: Supporting Arrangements
NBS IOM Supporting Arrangements FLOOR SUPPORTS Install bolts used to attach the standhead to the frame so the nut is on the bottom. Standhead bolts should be left finger tight while the conveyor is being assembled and aligned. Floor supports are ordered by nominal height range, which is the dimension from the floor to top of the support. Conveyor elevations are shown on the layout by top-of-belt elevations. - Page 17 NBS IOM BED/SUPPORT CONNECTORS NBS can only be supported at bed joins. Adjoining beds are connected using 3/8” thick by 10” nut plate, 3/16” thick by 10” clamping plate and 3/8” hardware. These parts are shipped with other loose parts. Insert 10” nut plate halfway into the formed channel end of each bed.

Page 18: Belt Installation
NBS IOM Belt Installation PRE-INSTALLATION Belts, as shipped from TGW Systems, are cut to length with lacing installed. Rolls of belting should be stored on edge on a pallet (see belt below). Never leave a belt where it may absorb moisture. Remove any tight shipping banding immediately upon arrival. - Page 19 NBS IOM BELT TRACKING With the belts tensioned, "bump" the motor to be sure rotation is correct, the belts are running smoothly and maintaining their position. Most NBS conveyors do not require belt tracking. However, each conveyor should be checked at the charge and discharge ends to be sure the belts are floating in a neutral position not crowding the sides of the UHMW guide tracks.

Page 20: Air Supply Requirements
AIR DROPS: TGW Systems recommends using 3/4" pipe on air drops for high flow and low pressure loss on all sorters except WAVE sorters NBS 30-3R, 5R, 90. The drop is terminated with a drain at the bottom. A tee located prior to the drain branches off to the conveyor. - Page 21 The length of each poly tube must not exceed 5’. • TGW Systems can provide a standard ¾” filter regulator for each drop. The part number is 1103388. Note: NBS pneumatic systems does not require lubrication. Lubrication may affect the valving operation and cause sluggish or erratic operation.

Page 29: Nbs 90 Transfer Roller Adjustment Procedure
NBS IOM NBS 90 Transfer Roller Adjustment Procedure NBS 90 transfers are assembled as a stand alone unit that is inserted into an NBS bed section. The height of the roller is set by the use of a setting gauge, and adjustment is performed at each of the four corners of the unit on the assembly bench. -
Page 30: Preventive Maintenance
NBS IOM Preventive Maintenance GENERAL The key to ensuring the expected return on investment is to protect against premature failure with a well-planned program of preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance programs examine what may fail and then formulate action plans which will prevent failure or downtime. - Page 31 NBS IOM possible only through clearances between the outside plates and the inside plates. Oil applied on the center line of the rollers cannot reach pin-bushing joints. A good grade of non-detergent petroleum base oil is recommended. Heavy oils and greases are generally too stiff to enter and fill the chain joints.
- Page 32 NBS IOM The condition of contacts must be checked on all contactors and starters that show signs of overheating. Make sure that they are free of dust and are not excessively pitted or burned. When badly burned or worn, the contacts must be replaced.

Page 33: Nbs Maintenance Checklist
NBS IOM NBS Maintenance Checklist 1. End Pulley Assembly a) Examine end pulley assembly. Remove any residue clinging to end pulley, and end pulley snubber. b) Check to see if belt is tracked correctly thru lower belt guide wheels. Examine guide wheels for wear. Replace any wheels that are excessively worn. -
Page 34: Maintenance Schedule
NBS IOM Maintenance Schedule Periodic maintenance intervals shown may vary with load, speed, hours of daily operation, ambient temperature, humidity, etc. Intervals can be established by fairly frequent maintenance at first, then lengthen the intervals as justified by observation of need based on history. The following is based on 5 days per week, 8 hours per day under normal conditions. - Page 35 NBS IOM • Check for plumb and level. Shims have been known to vibrate out from under supports in isolated incidents. • Touch up paint that has been chipped. Unpainted surfaces will rust. • Inspect for stress/fatigue cracks in frame and supports. CAUTION Check to confirm tools and foreign objects have not been left on or inside the conveyor.

Page 36: Repair Procedures
NBS IOM Repair Procedures WARNING Do not perform maintenance on the conveyor until the startup controls are locked out and cannot be turned on by any person other than the one performing the maintenance. If more than one member of a crew is working on the conveyor, EACH CREW MEMBER MUST HAVE A LOCK ON THE POWER LOCK OUT. - Page 37 NBS IOM If a chain should break or fail due to overload, neglect or accident, those portions of the chain which appear to remain intact are, in all probability, damaged and subject to early failure if continued in service. Replace the entire chain and sprockets.
- Page 38 NBS IOM SENSING SWITCHES Sensing switches are of two types: retroreflective photoeye and proximity switch. Adjust the retroreflective type as follows: 1. Determine what sizes of target the photoeye must sense. 2. Adjust for the worst case, usually smallest item, by loosening photoeye mounting nut and aligning while making sure photoeye has unobstructed view of reflector.
