• Carrying Chain Installation
The carrying chains are shipped on marked spools, cut to proper length for each ProSort
conveyor. Steps for installing are as follows:
1. disconnect electrical power to drive motor to prevent accidental start up.
2. Remove the plug from the motor fan guard, exposing the hex on the motor shaft. Use this
shaft to rotate the motor manually.
3. Check alignment of chain guides by using two short pieces of chain with slat/shoe assemblies
and bearings assembled to pins. This chain/slat/shoe assembly should slide freely through chain
guides in direction of travel for entire length of conveyor.
4. Install carrying chains to both sides of conveyor with pins pointed inward. make sure the
pins of each chain are directly opposite each other. It will be helpful while installing chains to
install one slat/shoe assembly every 4 feet to hold chain in
guides.
5. fasten ends of both chains with connector links as shown
in figure 9E.
6. Install slat/shoe assemblies onto the extended chain pins
on one side of conveyor – being careful to keep the beveled
face of the shoe toward the discharge end and the side with
the rubber insert toward the spur side of conveyor (See
figure 9f). Lift opposite chain out of chain guide (so chains
may be spread apart) and insert extended chain pins into
opposite end of slat/shoe assemblies.
7. After all slat/shoe assemblies are installed, tighten
carrying chains with take-up bolts at drive shaft. Be sure
drive and tail shafts are square. Retighten all drive take-up
plate mounting bolts. See figure 10A for proper slack in
chains.
8. manually crank entire carrying chain assembly through
the conveyor to see that it operates freely and nothing has
been dropped into the conveyor during installation. Also
inspect divert shoes to make sure all of them have been
installed on the correct centers. If chains are ever shortened
it must be in increments of five inches.
9. Replace motor fan guard plug.
10. Reconnect electrical power to drive motor.
