ELECTRICAL Your Matthiesen drying belt is not equipped with any switches, starters, etc. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide power to the unit as well as any switches or controls unless specified. CHECK LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES FOR PROPER WIRE & WIRING POWER SUPPLY.

ALWAYS LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT POWER SOURCES WHEN INSTALLING OR SERVICING EQUIPMENT. To assure proper operation of the drying belt equipment you must have a separate circuit to avoid fluctuations in current. Circuit breaker should be sized according to full load amp draw.

BUCKET ELEVATOR OPERATION

Product should be installed in compliance with NEC (National Electric Code), OSHA, and other regulatory agencies.

1) BEARINGS There are five 4-hole flange bearings. Inspect bearings monthly and grease if necessary.

2) ADJUSTMENT

The belt length and tension are preset at the factory. Belt links are set to allow sufficient sag at the bottom of the belt return. The purpose of the belt sag is to compensate for the plastic contraction when moving cold products. Inspection of the belting should be done at regular intervals by lock out/tag out the power source then removing the lower return panel or the detection of an unusual belt noise. After the inspection has been completed replace the lower panel and power up the machine.

The pivoting point of the belting is held together with a rod and plastic retaining ring, located at both ends of the belt width.

To adjust and/or replace belt or scoop links due to wear or fracture can be achieved by following these steps:

Rod Removal:

Using diagonal cutting pliers cut the plastic retaining ring between the molded belt loops (shown in figure 1). Use caution not to damage belt loops when removing the plastic retaining rings.

NOTE:

Adequate support is needed for belting prior to the removal of the rod.

Use a small plastic tipped hammer to tap the rod while supporting the outer knuckle until the head of the rod is flush with belt.

LUBRICATION The bearings are lubricated at the factory. Because of use in wet conditions they should be checked or lubricated periodically. Matthiesen recommends the use of food grade lubricants on all necessary parts.
