2.2 MACHINE STRUCTURE
1- FRAME:
structure that gives the length and the shape of the machine, composed by steel L
profiles called battens, fixed by bolts to the supporting feet at H or Y shape.
The feet are provided with the adjustable small feet by which it is possible to level
the machine and anchorage it to the ground.
The frame can be completely kiln painted or galvanised.
2- DISC PULLEY:
generally it is made by iron and the diameter and geometry of the groove depends
from the use of the belt conveyor.
It can be fix or idle.
3. BELT :
rubber model for industrial use, thermowelded type with round section, called rope
or belt.
4. CONNECTING ARM :
structure composed by different components, to approach and connect the machine
with other eventual machines up or downstream.
This arm permits the passage of the product over the machines uniformly and
regularly.
5. DEVIATOR ARM :
It is a movable structure composed by various elements, used to deviate the
conveyed tiles flow towards lines placed at different heights.
The movement of this arm can be obtained by a piston with pneumatic control or
manually,
6- SPLINING SHAFT:
it is made by galvanised steel, and its shape depends from the work conditions
(drive or idle type). It is installed on proper supports with swinging bearing (UCP) that
are fixed to the frame by special clamps (claws).
Along all the useful length for the pulleys placing, there is a milling on its diameter that
stops the fixing dowel of the pulleys and UCP supports.
pag. 8
7- GUIDES:
there are the following kinds of guides :
a) –under belt type composed by a galvanised steel profile, eventually containing an
insert made by polizene. It guides and supports the belt.
b) -lateral guide, composed by a stainless steel plate.
It is installed to obtain the aligning and centring of the product on the conveying
area.
Both kinds of guides are fixed to the frame by proper supports.
8. ROUNDING DEVICE :
it is a structure composed by a U profile made by steel, appropriately bent, where a
simple chain with steel rollers is placed. It has the same task of the underbelt guide
and permits a better convey in the crossing areas, between different sloping of the
conveying plan.
9. EXCHANGE :
it is a transmission system having the task of driving and reduction or increase of the
convey speed of some areas where the belts are separated. The transmission is
made by two pinions installed onto the splining shafts of the pulleys, connected one
to the other through a simple chain with steel rollers.
10. MOTORIZATION:
to move the pulleys and the relative belts there is a motorization group composed by
one electric three-phase motor coupled to a reduction gear and to a speed variator
that permits the manual adjustment of the convey speed. (adjustment to be effected
only when the motor is switched on in order to avoid the speed variator breakage) .
The motorization groups are installed directly on the driving shaft (condition of direct
driving system) and they are provided with a counter-arm that fix them to the frame,
in order to avoid the rotation. Otherwise, they can be installed on proper supports
placed under the battens, sending the movement to the conveyor by a splined belt to
the relative pulleys on the shaft of the motor and on the driving shaft (condition of
indirect driving system).
11. PRE-SETTING :
during the project phase, depending from the required needs, the equipment can be
arranged to insert other machinery in the next future (compensators, dryers, feeders
…) or accessories (brushing machines, tiles turners, blowing groups …).
pag. 9
• protection cases
they are fixed to the frame by screws and are manufactured by plastic material.
They are used in order to protect the indirect transmission of the motor, so that there
is the insulation of the area made dangerous by the belt/pulley winding.
They are also installed to protect the exchange systems, to insulate the area made
dangerous by the pinion/chain winding.
On the UCP supports there are the plastic cases fixed in order to protect the bearing
from the eventual dust .
hand protections
they are placed near the coupling of belt/pulley, they are made by plastic materials
and are encased in the under belt guides and fixed by screws.
Container protections
In the area where it is permitted the under passage or there is a bridge, we generally
install a fix protection made by punched plate, so that it is used as container in case
of accidental falls of the conveyed products.
They protect all the components in movement and they are bolted by screws.
Their replacement has to be effected by authorised people, when the machine is
stopped and without electric power (conveyor in condition of zero energy).
The machine has not to be switched on till all the protections (eventually
disassembled) are re-installed in their correct position.
It is a head push button in red colour, eventually put in evidence by a lower yellow ring
nut. The emergency push button is installed along all the machine perimeter and in
every dangerous areas of the machine. By this button the operator and any people
can stop the machine putting it in zero energy condition.
It is placed on the opening doors and it operates when these doors are not in
closing position putting the machine in zero energy condition.
In order to re-start the machine it is necessary to close them again.
pag. 10
2.3.4 Obstruction photocell
It is placed where there are not the perimeter barriers and it operates if there
are any defective intrusion in the operative area, putting the machine in zero
energy condition.
It is a cable stretched on proper supports and placed on the machine all around
the danger area, so that it is possible to intervene in case of emergency. The
cable is connected to a micro switch that operates in parallel with the
emergency push button, and its tasks are the same.
The emergency push buttons, once switched on, have to be re-set before the
machine is re-started. The operation logical, as directive and law EN 418 June
1994, foresee that the re-starting procedure is totally repeated : so the re-set of
the emergency push button, of the micro with interblock and of the obstruction
photocell gives only the consent to the re-starting of the machine, without
permitting to re-start it automatically.
• Maximum noise detected at 1 mt. distance and at 1,60 mt. from the ground;
on all the machine perimeter the noise pressure level “A” in the working area is
lower than 63 dB.
• Maximum vibration, lower than 3500 cycles/minute with placing and fixing t o
the ground effected following the manufacturer’s instructions.
3.1 WEIGHT
pag. 11
3.2 LIFTING, CARRIAGE AND PACKING
3.2.1 Lifting
• The lifting and the movement are foreseen by fork lift truck with capacity
suitable to support the total weight of the belt conveyor.
Considering the machine symmetry, the correct position of the lifting forks is
under the L profiles that compose the frame, near the foot next the
motorization group and under the brushing machines.
• If the machine is packed into a wooden case completely closed, the lifting
can be done through a fork lift truck placed under the same case or
eventually by cables or chains.
The packing materials have to be collected separately and put into the
proper recycle tanks.
pag. 12
3.3 INSTALLATION
• Positioning:
• Anchorage :
the anchorage to the ground is made fixing the adjustable small feet by
M10 blocks made by steel.
The floor has to support a specific load of 1000 Kg/square meters.
The fixing of the curves onto the supporting frame of the modules is
Effected using the proper claws of which they are provided.
• Levelling :
The machine levelling is done operating on the adjustable small feet placed
onto the frame, following the instructions as listed here below :
A) Alignment and levelling 0,5 mm./1000 of the conveying plan with regard to
the horizontal plan perpendicular to the running sense of the product.
B) Alignment of all the modules composing the CONVEYOR.
• Assemble instructions :
1) position and assemble the pieces of the frame, feet and battens,
eventually pre-assembled, respecting the dimensions indicated on the lay-
out and aligning the machine.
Fix the batten to the same level of the middle of the foot fixing plate , so
that it touches the next or previous batten.
Where it is foreseen, control that the adjustment small feet are installed,
otherwise install them immediately.
pag. 13
2) level the frame controlling the planarity grade, considering the values
foreseen in the project +/- 2 mm/m, operating on the adjustment small
feet, or inserting some steel reinforcing shims (example washers)
between the foot and the floor.
Check also the perpendicularity of the foot respect to the floor.
3) position the curves, if foreseen, on the frame fixing them by the proper
claws, and aligning he input and output of the belts (rope) to the relative
pulleys, being care to level the conveying plan.
4) Fix the feet to the ground by the steel screw anchors diam.10 mm. with
closing couple Md=30 Nm into one of the three holes that can be found
on the small adjustment foot or into the hole of the fix foot.
5) Assemble the eventual supporting posts for the electric raceway, for the
eventual air/water piping system and for the switchboard. They have to be
fixed to the frame of the machine by screws and to the ground by steel
screw anchors of diam. 10, considering the perpendicularity with regard to
the horizontal plan.
6) Install the pulleys group onto the frame, if they were not already installed,
considering the dimensions indicated by the drawing, fixing them by the
proper claws as follows :
a) place and fix the claw only by one side
b) insert the splining shaft with the pre-assembled pulleys into the bearing
of the ucp support fixed onto the claw, and tighten the security dowel in
order to avoid the fall.
c) Insert the belts
d) Insert the other claw and position it onto the frame, putting the group in
the middle respect to the battens and verify the perpendicularity of the
pulleys with the same battens, controlling the distance from the pulley
external diameter to the batten.
7) If you have the pre-assemble line modules, assemble the eventual pieces
of frame considering the numbers indicated on the various pieces and
place the modules always considering the lay-out.
Before installing the belts on the pulleys (eventually not installed), it is
necessary to disassemble the support with bearing (UCP) and the relative
claw, so that it is easy to insert the belt on the shaft. Once inserted the belt
and re-blocked the UCP with the claw it is necessary to install the belt on
the pulley by a screwdriver or a lever.
If the belt is too much tightened , it is better to unloose the closing
claws of the pulleys groups and displace them, in order to avoid
the breakage of the splining shafts.
9) Install the supports and the underbelt guides including the hand
protections and make the relative set-up operating on the proper supports,
pag. 14
getting up or down the adjustable support, so that the guide is aligned to the
conveying plan.
It is necessary to be sure that the protections assembling is make correctly,
so that the hand protection is positioned towards the running sense and the
pulley protection is positioned into the pulley opposite to the running sense.
When finished this operation, it is necessary to control that the distance
between the pulley and the hand protection is not higher than the foreseen
value (lower or equal to 5 mm.) and eventually adjust it operating on the
blocking screw.
10) Install the supports and the relative lateral guides where there could be a
not regular flow. (in example, at the input and output of the curves, near the
exchange systems, or where there are different slopes).
11) Install the eventual protections supplied as single parts, as the container
cases, the protection cases of the transmissions and the exchanges
systems, and, if required, the cases on the UCP supports and on the
motors.
12) Place and fix the eventual accessories on the line, verifying the lay-out or
following the instructions of the Buyer.
• Electric connection :
• Pneumatic connection :
pag. 15
3.4 PREVENTIVE VERIFIES.
• Control that the working area is enough lighted. (minimum 250 lux).
• Before connecting the electricity, check on the conductors are not in voltage
and the main switches are opened.
• Control the low voltage connections on the control board, check the
operation logical are respected and correspond to the foreseen
sequences.
• Check that all the protections are correctly installed on the machine.
• Control that after the electric connection the motor running sense is the
foreseen one and that all the transmission components run in the indicated
sense.
• All the plastic parts or other not degradable materials have to be collected
separately and given to the recycling company.
• The lubricants oil contained into the motorization groups have to be collected
and put into suitable tanks, then given to the recycling company.

4. MACHINE USE
4.1 SWITCHING ON
After the machine is installed and set-up, it is tested controlling the running
sense as indicated by the general machine drawing (Encl. 7.1 of the Use and
Maintenance Manual) and controlling the operation cycle regularity.
4.2 START
pag. 17
• To control the machine operation and the product flow.
• to remove any jamming causes due to a bad flow of the product, always
stopping the machine
• In case of bad operation call at the maintenance responsible.
• control that any not authorised people do not intervene on the machine
protections or on the same machine.
4.3 STOP
Switch on the standard stop button, then disconnect the electric feeding to the
machine by the main switch placed on the main electric board,
This kind of stop can cause the interruption and the unsuccessful finishing of
the working cycle. After having reset the feeding, it is necessary to repeat
completely the starting procedure of the machine.
4.4 ADJUSTMENTS
pag. 18
4.4.2 Adjustment of the underbelt guides
If the machine looses its optimal operation level (as ex. due to the ground
settling), it is possible to make it again operating on the adjustment small
feet, unloosing the nut near the supporting foot, and rotating the threaded bar
by a wrench, controlling the planarity by a ball level.
It is important that for any operations requiring the bolts and nuts unloosing,
it is effected again the closing before starting the machine.
• The fix protection removal must follow the opening of the main switch, so that the
electricity is disconnected. Their re-installation must be made before re-starting
the machine by the main switch and it is necessary to repeat all the starting
procedure.
• We recommend, during the access to the operation area for standard operations,
to wear suitable dresses, mechanic’s overall with elastics at the pulses and feet,
suitable shoes, gloves, and to have collected hairs.
• Do not work on the product in movement as there are some accidents risks, If you
note any obstructions, switch on the emergency.
• Do not clean the machine or the floor under the machine if the electricity is
connected.
pag. 19
• Before re-starting the machine, control that no other people are working on it or
are near the dangerous areas.
If the machine is used in one line, an eventual fault can be signalled by a warning light
and by an acoustic emergency signaller.
To identify the fault, verify as follows :
• Presence of the product at the input and output
• Position of the product
• Unsuccessful acceptance of the product downstream
• Presence of the motive power
• Conditions of the emergency push button
• Efficiency of any micro-switches and photocells
5. MAINTENANCE
pag. 20
• Presence of the fixed protections
• Presence of the motive power
• Closing of any eventual replaced parts.
• Rotation sense of the motors
• Efficiency of photocells, sensors and micro switches
- UCP SUPPORTS :
Before switching the machine it is suggested to lubricate all the bearings by
the proper lubricator placed upper the supports.
• control periodically the cleaning of the outside surfaces, especially the ones for
the components cooling.
• control that there are not any lubricant leak, in particular through the o-rings of the
gear reducer and speed variator.
• for the reducers and speed variators by oil, before the assembly and then every
7/800 hours, control the lubricant level. If necessary add oils of the same brand or
similar.
pag. 21
lubricant replacement :
- speed variator :
The oil replacement has to be effected after a first running-in period of 100
/200 working hours, then every 2/3000 hours, always controlling the presence
of the oil by the proper level warning lights.
- reduction gear :
the reduction gear lubricated by synthetic oil does not need any maintenance.
They have to be considered as all life lubricated .
The reducers lubricated by mineral oil, need the eventual oil replacement only
after 8/10000 operation hours.
It is not necessary any oil change after the running -in period.
Important: add the same brand lubricant, of the same features, as oils and
greases with different basis cannot be mixed and there is no compatibility. In
case of any doubts, wash carefully the tank before a total replacement of the
lubricant.
d) PULLEYS:
Control every 6 months and eventually replace them.
e) BELTS :
Control every 4 months and eventually replace them.
f) MACHINE CLEANING:
It is suggested to make a general cleaning of the machine, especially the
photocells, weekly if there is a lot of dust.
pag. 22
5.5 INDIVIDUAL MACHINE SCHEDULE (maintenance operations)
The following schedule is used as memory record for the maintenance operations.
pag. 23
6. EMERGENCIES
In case of fire, never use water but only suitable dusts with C02 using the
extinguisher available near the machine.
The noxious emissions of gas caused by the machine can be due only to the
fire during the paints, plastic materials and lubricants combustion.
In this case the cares are the normal ones in case of fire (see pos. 6.1)
