Preparing to install a conveyor version
All conveyor metal detectors are dispatched from Loma Engineering in the following state:
• Feet (if fitted) are screwed fully in.
• Wheels (if fitted) are screwed fully in and are locked (UK only), or supplied in a polythene
bag which is placed inside the reject bin (Europe). Feet may have been fitted for transit
purposes or 20mm bolts may be used to secure the conveyor to the pallet.
• Delicate items are covered in protective wrapping material.
Removing bolts and fitting wheels
• Conveyors for customers in Europe may have been secured to the pallet by 20mm bolts
which are screwed into the underside of the legs. Remove these bolts if fitted.
• If wheels have been supplied for the conveyor, remove them from the reject bin and
remove the packing material. Fit the wheels to the outrigged legs of the conveyor.
Adjusting/levelling the conveyor
• Adjust the infeed and outfeed heights as necessary by means of either the adjustable feet
or adjustable wheels. Make sure that all feet or wheels are firmly on the ground, and are
evenly supporting the conveyor so that it does not rock. If necessary, anchor the conveyor
to the ground using bolts screwed into the feet. Do not fasten the conveyor to any other
