INSTALLATION
• Location
1. Determine direction of product flow.
Figure 4A indicates the flow as related
to the drive.
2. Refer to "Match-Mark" numbers on
ends of conveyor sections. (Figure 4A).
Position them in this sequence near
area of installation.
• Conveyor Set-Up
1. Mark a chalk line on floor to locate
center of the conveyor.
2. Attach supports and vibration pads to
all conveyor sections shown in Figures
4A and 4B. Adjust elevation to required
height. Hand tighten bolts only at this
time.
3. During installation, check to make
sure each bed section is square.
Measure the diagonals from corner to
corner of the frame. If they are not equal
the frame must be squared. Attach a
come-along or some other suitable pulling device across longest corners and pull until the section is
square.
4. Place the infeed (tail) section in position.
5. Install remaining sections, placing end without support on extended pivot plate of previous section
(Figure 4A).
6. Fasten sections together with splice plates and pivot plates. (Figure 4B).
7. Check to see that conveyor is level across the width and length of unit. Adjust supports as necessary.
8. After all sections have been squared and levelled, tighten all splice channels and support mounting
bolts and lag support to the floor.
9. Check alignment of wearstrip at all section joints. Sand wearstrip as necessary to provide a smooth
wear surface (Figure 4C).
10. Starting on the infeed end, fasten bearing profile to wearstrip guide using rubber mallet to force the
profile edge under the wearstrip (Figure 4C & 4F). Glue infeed end of profile to the support angle with
loctite # 401 or 454 adhesive.
11. Run 1/2" main air line the full length of the sorter, either on the outside attaching it to the bottom of
conveyor channel with cable ties, or through the bed spacer holes where rubber grommets are provided
on the inside of the channel. (Figure 4A). Connect 3/8"air lines at divert switches as shown in Figures
4D & 4E.
12. Connect main air line to the Filter/Regulator, (Figure 5A) Set regulator to working pressure of 60 P.S.I.
Install low pressure switch, at farthest point from regulator (Figure 4E).
13. Install electrical controls and wire motor. Verify correct motor rotation at this time. See Page 5 & 6 for
electrical control information.
14. Check each divert switch to see that it is operating properly. This must be done before carrying chains
are installed. See instructions on Page 8 & 9.
15. Check proximity switch clearance at each internal safety switch (Figure 5C). Adjust if necessary.
16. Install carrying chains per instructions on Page 8 & 9.
17. Install chain oiler at infeed and connect to oil lines as shown in Figure 5B. Refer to the Lubrication
section, page 6, for type of oil required. After mounting, the oiler will need to be adjusted for proper oiling
of mounting chains. Adjustment may be made using a combination of solenoid activation time and flow
adjustment screws. (A good rule of thumb for solenoid adjustment is to turn the oiler on for one complete
chain revolution for every 40 hours of sorter operation.) Typically, the chain on the divert side will need
slightly more oil; the flow adjustment screws can be altered to achieve volume. CAUTION: Do not allow
oil to drip on floor.
18. Locate spurs per instructions on Page 9.
