Conveyor Initial Operation & Run-In Period Procedure

CAUTION: THE PLANT OPERATOR MUST READ ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BEFORE STARTING THIS MACHINE (IF IN DOUBT ASK FOR CLARIFICATION).

1. Check inside “feed hopper” and remove any parts shipped “loose”
2. If the conveyor is to remain on a permanent working site it is recommended that a
prepared concrete loading area and a radial runway for the wheels is provided and
that the tail anchor pivot plate is securely bolted down with anchor bolts to a prepared
concrete footing.
3. Set up the “machine level ready to run.
4. Alignment and initial operation.

Before placing belt conveyor in operation, check the following:

• OBJECTS ON BELT - Carefully check for and remove any tools, bolts,
nuts etc., that might have been left on the belt after installation. This is
especially important to the return side of belt where the objects may get
between the terminal pulleys and belt, thus causing damage to belt.

• AUTOMATIC TAKE-UPS (IF FITTED) - See that the pulley revolves

freely and the take-up frame slides easily to compensate for variations in belt
tension. Use recommended amount of counterweight and adjust if
necessary.

• MANUAL TAKE-UPS - Adjust so that the tension will permit the loaded
belt to just travel over the terminal pulleys without slipping. Excessive take up
on the belt will cause undue strain on shafting, bearings, and belt splicing. It
will also tend to keep the belt from troughing properly.

• BELT TRAINING - After the take-ups are properly adjusted and working
freely, allow the conveyor to run without load for belt training, which is
accomplished by shifting the idlers. Shift the idlers away from the side the
belt is running to. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TRAIN BELT BY UNEQUAL
ADJUSTEMENT OF SCREW TAKE-UPS, AS THIS WILL DISTURB THE
TERMINAL PULLEY ALIGNMENT.

• FLEETING - Belts will usually fleet (continue to run to one side) toward
the idler roll it first touches. To correct fleeting, align the return idlers first,
starting with the fourth to sixth idler back (nearest head pulley) of the run out
point and work toward the tail pulley. Line up idlers in direction of belt travel.
It is better to adjust a number of idlers slightly than to adjust one or two a
great deal. With the return idlers positioned, the troughing idlers can be
aligned in the same manner, remembering to start in back of, and always
work toward the run out point in the same direction of the belt travel. (See
also section on conveyor idlers).

- 2 -2
5. INITIAL OPERATION AND RUN-IN PERIOD

• SEQUENCE OF OPERATION - After belt has been properly trained

while running empty, check to see that electric controls are properly wired to
provide proper starting and stopping sequence. The shaft-mounted reducer
may have a backstop device fitted. Reverse running the conveyor due to
accidentally wiring the drive in reverse will damage the backstops device.

• LOADING - Start with a light load and gradually work up to the designed
load. Check chutes to see that the material is being directed onto the center
of the belt. The loading point of a belt conveyor is most generally the critical
point. The ideal condition is to have the material pass from chute to belt at
the same speed and direction of travel as the belt, with a minimum amount of
impact. The skirt seals should be adjusted to prevent side spillage of material
and to form the load centrally on the belt.

• BELT RETRAINING - With the belt conveyor operating under normal

load, check the belt for any run out. If necessary, re-align idlers as described
in ‘Belt Training.

• PULLEYS - After 8 - 10 hours of operating the conveyor it is necessary to

check the bolts in the pulley hubs. Running the conveyor may ‘loosen’ the
hubs on the shaft. Failure to check the hub bolts for tightness could result in
the pulley becoming loose on the shaft and moving sideways. Should this
occur, major damage will result and ‘sparking’ or ‘heat’ developed may cause
a fire. Hub bolts should be checked at least once week.

Section 3 – Safety
Safety guidelines when working with and around conveyors
The stacker is a large machine with many moving parts that may cause serious bodily injury if
safety guidelines are not strictly followed. The following guidelines are to must be used in
conjunction with any other safety rules as required by federal, state or provincial law or codes.

Warning: Plant operator must read all safety precautions before doing any machine
adjustments or service work. Always check that all personnel are clear of the machine before
starting the engine. Do not operate the machine with any supplied safety guards removed.
Any guards removed for maintenance purposes must be re-installed before running the
machine.

General Safety

n Keep hands and feet clear of head and tail pulleys when guards are removed for
maintenance purposes.

n Do not climb inside of, or on top of the feed hopper.

n Keep hands clear of belt idlers when guards are removed for maintenance purposes.

n Do not stand on conveyor belts.

Start Up and Shutdown Safety

n Walk around machine before starting to ensure all personnel and equipment are clear
of machine.

n When stopping the machine, all applicable hydraulic hand control valves must be put
into the neutral, stopped or closed position to completely shutdown all machine
functions. Do not use the engine key alone to stop the machine. Otherwise, the
danger exists that drives will start when the engine is restarted.

Lockout Procedure

n Turn the ignition key to the off position and remove the key.

n Close the control panel on the engine and lock it using a padlock.

n Activate at least one emergency stop button.

notify all personnel that the Stacker has been immobilized. Only once the problem has
been repaired and inspected, the tag can be removed.

n Follow proper safety precautions before restarting the machine.

Maintenance Safety

n Keep hands clear of pinch points such as conveyor folds, pulleys and idlers when
guards are removed for maintenance purposes.

n Be sure that all tools or other equipment used in maintenance of the conveyor are
removed before the machine is restarted.

n Keep hands and feet clear of all drive mechanisms when guards are removed for
maintenance purposes.

n Do not adjust skirt-flashing rubber while conveyor belts are moving.

n Do not work on drive systems unless power unit is stopped.

n Operator must lockout engine control panel until all work is completed.

n Warning: Do not perform any welding on this machine without first removing the two
fuses from the control box. Replace fuses when welding is completed.

n Important: Only the assigned Plant Operator should instruct other personnel to

Check and/or perform every 2000 hours:

n Replace gearbox oil.

Check and/or perform every 3000 hours:

n Replace hydraulic oil.

n Replace coolant. (check the engine manufacturer’s manual)

General Care and Maintenance

n STARTING AND STOPPING - Material SHOULD NOT be discharged onto a

conveyor that is not operating. Conversely, when stopping a belt conveyor or
conveyor system, stop discharge of material onto initial receiving conveyor and then in
succession, the remaining conveyors after each has run off its load.

n LOADING - Apply load gradually. Do not overload, or convey material of larger of

larger size or type than that for which the conveyor was designed.

n CHUTES - Chutes should deliver material to belt centrally, without excessive impact,
and in same direction and velocity of belt travel. Chutes should be kept clean, and
free from any material that may have formed into chunks. Inspect periodically for any
trapped material between belt and chute.

n TROUGHING AND RETURN IDLERS - Should be kept clean and free from material
build-up. Should dirt be allowed to build up on idler rolls, it will cause belt ‘run-off’ or
jamming of idlers. Any idlers not allowed to rotate freely will wear rapidly on the shell
and may subsequently cause belt damage or even ‘fire’ in the belt itself, due to
abnormal friction forces.

n SKIRT SEALS - Skirt seals should be checked occasionally to see that they are
adjusted properly, and material has not become trapped between skirt and belt, thus
causing abrasion to belt.

n SCRAPERS - The scrapers located at the head end of the belt conveyors to remove
material from belt and into receiving chute instead of bypassing chute and possibly
accumulating on belt. A counterweight keeps that scraper blade against the belt.
Proper field adjustment is required periodically.
