CONVEYOR BELT, CHAIN & RAIL SERVICE
REMOVE AND REPLACE CONVEYOR MESH BELT
1. The mesh belts installed on XPM2 and XPM3 are available in several widths and in two different pitches,
standard ½ (12.7mm) and fine .286 (7.26mm). If splice clips are to be replaced verify that you have
the correct clips for the specific mesh belt.
2. Locate the splice point in the mesh belt by finding the double size 'holes' created by the splice clips. There
are four to six splice clips, depending on the width of the belt. For ease of access, turn the conveyor until
the splice point is positioned just inside the oven over one of the deck pans.

3. On conveyor systems with edge rails remove the chain guards from the rail ends near the splice clips,
remove the shoulder bolts that retain the rails in the capture brackets, and reposition the rails on top of the
capture brackets. It is not necessary to break the edge rail chains. Raising the rails will greatly improve
the working space above the mesh belt splice clips.
