INTRODUCTION At the request of Mr Greg Labuschagne of Flexco, one medium duty extended shell extruded aluminium conveyor belt clamp set complete with PVC conveyor belt (1200 mm belt width) was submitted for performance test. The test was conducted in accordance with the customer's request. 2. TEST PROCEDURE Testing machine: 15 MN MEL tensile testing machine Test type: Performance test in tension Test specification: Customer request Torque on belt clamps: 200 N.m and 163 N.m. ‘A PVC conveyor belt was installed in the clamps. An appropriate torque was then applied. The belt clamp assembly was installed in the 15 MN MFL tensile testing machine using suitable fittings @s shown in Figure 1. A pre-load of 10 kN was applied to the bolt clamp assembly. A gradually increasing tensile load was applied to the assembly unti the belt clamps slipped. The clamps were loosened and returned to the chosen position and tightened to a suitable torque, the lest was then restarted. This procedure was repeated ‘wo times for a total of three tests.
