Racked Sections; Operation; Conveyor Start-Up; Lubrication - HYTROL RBE24EZ Manual De Instalación Y Mantenimiento

A) All safety devices, including wiring of electrical safety devices, shall be
arranged to operate in a "fail-Safe" manner, that is, if power failure or failure of the
device itself would occur, a hazardous condition must not result.
B) Emergency Stops and Restarts. Conveyor controls shall be so arranged
that, in case of emergency stop, manual reset or start at the location where the
emergency stop was initiated, shall be required of the conveyor(s) and associated
equipment to resume operation.
C) Before restarting a conveyor which has been stopped because of an
emergency, an inspection of the conveyor shall be made and the cause of the
stoppage determined. The starting device shall be locked out before any attempt is
made to remove the cause of stoppage, unless operation is necessary to determine
the cause or to safely remove the stoppage.
Refer to ANSI z244.1-1982, American National Standard for Personnel Protection
– Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources – minimum Safety Requirements and OSHA
Standard Number 29 CfR 1910.147 "The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/
Tagout)."

• Racked Sections

It is important that each bed section be checked for an out-of-square condition. If
conveyor is not square, tracking problems will result. figure 5A indicates a racked
section.
TO CORRECT AN OUT-Of-SQUARE SECTION
1. Locate points on corners of section and measure distance "A" & "B". If the
dimensions are not equal, the section will need to be squared. (figure 5B).
2. Use crossbracing supplied on underside of conveyor to square each section.
make adjustments until Dimensions "A" & "B" are equal.
3. After all bed sections have been checked and corrected for "racked condition",
tighten all butt couplings and pivot plate bolts.
4. make final check to see that all conveyor sections are level across width and
length. If entire conveyor is level, supports can be lagged to floor.
"Racked" conveyor sections will cause package to travel toward side of conveyor.
ImPORTANT! Being out of level across this width of conveyor can cause package drift

OPERATION

• Conveyor Start-Up

Before conveyor is turned on, check for foreign objects that may have been left
inside conveyor during installation. These objects could cause serious damage
during start-up.
After conveyor has been turned on and is operating, check all moving parts to
make sure they are working freely.
CAUTION! Because of the many moving parts on the conveyor, all personnel in the
area of the conveyor need to be warned that the conveyor is about to be started.

• Lubrication

• Sequence of Operation

EZLOGIC® EQUIPPED VERSIONS
The model RBE24Ez is made up of a series of accumulation zones, each zone
having an EzLogic® zone Controller, a E24™ motor to drive the zone, belt over
tread rollers directly driven from the E24™ motor to a lagged roller, and a motor
control board that controls and protects the E24™ motor.
The EzLogic® Accumulation System provides two modes of accumulation which
are user-selectable: Singulation mode and Slug mode. The sequences of "loading"
and "unloading" the conveyor in the two modes are as follows:
LOADING THE CONVEYOR - SINGULATION MODE
1. Beginning with the conveyor empty, and the zone stop signal to the discharge
controller "active", a carton placed on the conveyor continues forward until it
reaches the discharge zone (zone #1).
2. If two or more cartons are placed on the conveyor with a space of less than one
zone length between them, the cartons will singulate (separate) during the first few
feet of travel on the conveyor, until a space approximately equal to one zone length
exists between all cartons.
3. When carton #1 activates controller "A", zone #1 stops driving. A signal is sent
to zone #2 indicating that zone #1 is occupied (figure 5C).
4. When carton #2 activates controller "B", zone #2 stops driving. A signal is sent to
zone #3 indicating that zone #2 is occupied.
5. The above sequences are repeated until the conveyor is fully loaded.
UNLOADING THE CONVEYOR-SINGULATION MODE
1. Releasing carton #1 is accomplished by "de-activating" the zone stop signal to
the discharge zone (Refer to the "Auxiliary Connections" section). This restores
power to the tread rollers in zone #1. Carton #1 will then move forward, causing a
gap between itself and carton #2 (figure 5D).
2. When carton #1 clears controller "A", carton #2 will then move forward, creating
a gap between itself and carton #3.
3. This sequence will continue as long as the preceeding carton continues to move
forward.
LOADING THE CONVEYOR-SLUG MODE
ZONE LENGTH
1.Beginning with the conveyor "empty," and the zone stop signal to the

discharge controller "active," a carton placed on the conveyor continues
forward until it reaches the discharge zone (zone #1).
2.If two or more cartons are placed on the conveyor with a space of less
than one zone length between them, the cartons will not singulate (separate)

while traveling down the conveyor.
3. When carton #1 activates controller "A", zone #1 stops
driving. A signal is sent to zone #2 indicating that zone #1
is occupied.
4. When carton #2 activates controller "B", zone #2 stops driving.
A signal is sent to zone #3 indicating that zone #2 is occupied.
5. The above sequences are repeated until the conveyor is
fully loaded.
UNLOADING THE CONVEYOR-SLUG MODE
1. Releasing all cartons is accomplished by "de-activating" the
zone stop signal to the discharge zone (Refer to the "Auxiliary
Connections" section). This causes all occupied zones to drive
and restores power to the tread rollers. All cartons then move
forward (figure 5D).
