This manual offers data on service, maintenance and parts replacement. Your conveyor may differ in shape from that illustrated, however the instructions apply to all MAYFRAN 1.25 inch pitch conveyors.
INSTALLATION The conveyor must be aligned accurately without any twist in the frame. The deviation from the center line should not exceed 2mm on either side. The belt and chain should be oiled. Before starting the conveyor check the belt adjustment. It must be possible to depress the belt by hand in the bottom strand near the drive.
MAINTENANCE If this MAYFRAN conveyor is serviced correctly, it will have a long life with a minimum of wear. Please ensure that the belt and chains are always coated with a thin film of oil. Normally the belt should be oiled once a month. In outdoor applications this interval must be shortened and ad- justed to the circumstances.
CLEANING THE CONVEYOR Your conveyor should be cleaned on a regular basis. The frequency of cleaning will vary with your operating conditions. Dry chips or parts would not need cleaning as frequently as operations involving coolant. The worst condition would involve fine, small chips with coolant.

Prior to 1996, Mayfran supplied a gearmotor manufactured by Tsubakimoto. Mayfran currently supplies a gearmotor manufactured by Rheingetriebe. If you are replacing a Tsubakimoto gearmotor, note that on your order and Mayfran will include a small hardware piece needed for the changeover. (Refer to drawing on page 15)
This drive consists of a belt drive between the motor and reducer and a chain drive between the reducer and conveyor headshaft.
