DAMAGE WARNING STATEMENT As stated in the installation manual, the orifice size is critical to the performance of the MARTIN® Air-Supported Conveyor System. Deviating from this orifice size could effect the equipment function. In order to validate the warranty of this equipment, have the installation crew supervisor sign and date this form and return to Martin Engineering to ensure proper quality. I verify the orifice size to be the size stated above. This document will be retained with the original purchase order as part of the ISO document procedure. Follow-up will be done if no response...

Materials required The MARTIN® Air-Supported Conveyor uses a thin film of air to support the conveyor belt. The principle of air support limits mechanical friction to the drive mechanism at the head section, the tail pulley, and the take-up assembly resulting in a dramatic reduction in maintenance and operation costs. The modular construction simplifies its assembly. In order to ensure consistent and optimum air distribution, which is critical to effective operation, careful attention must be paid to the assembly of components, particularly in maintaining air-tight connections between...

Before Installing Air-Supported Conveyor The delivery service is responsible for damage occurring in transit. Martin Engineering CANNOT enter claims for damages. Contact your transportation agent for more Inspect shipping container for damage. Report damage to delivery service immediately and fill out delivery service's claim form. Keep any damaged goods subject to examination. Remove MARTIN® Air-Supported Conveyor from shipping container. If anything is missing or damaged, contact Martin Engineering or a If equipment will be installed in an enclosed area, gas level or dust content must be...

Options (Included) The purpose of the MARTIN Air-Supported Conveyor System is to provide a fully-enclosed, weather-resistant conveyor. Top covers and belt cleaners are items for which we have a standard design. Top Covers Top Covers are peaked at the conveyor center line and slope at an 8° pitch. Water will run off the sides. The covers are made in 5' lengths of 14 gauge galvanized steel. They are joined by a cover splice plate with 3/8" closed cellular foam gasket in order to keep dust in and water out of the conveyor. The left and right edges of the conveyor (where the covers join the...

Additional Options (not included) Wind skirt It is suggested that a wind skirt be purchased for severe applications where there are strong crosswinds, rain, sleet or It is important to keep the belt dry in order to maintain the integrity of the product it is conveying. The wind skirt helps substantially by sheltering the return belt from crosswinds, rain, sleet or snow. Strong crosswinds can cause a belt to move to one side and be misaligned as it rolls over the tail pulley, which results in tracking problems. Rain, sleet and snow can wet the belt, damaging the product being conveyed and...

The MARTIN Air-Supported Conveyor operates using a thin film of air to support the belt. This arrangement minimizes the friction losses on the belt and thus eliminates costly and continuous maintenance on troughing idler assemblies. The equipment however, requires particular attention to two areas during assembly: 1. Since pressurized air is used to support the belt, heavy caulking with 100% clear silicone must be used at each joint. It is vitally important to make sure that the seals are air tight, otherwise the conveyor will not function properly. 2. Since there are no troughing idlers to...

Read entire section before beginning work. This manual provides instructions for installation of the MARTIN® Air-Supported Conveyor System. Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source to conveyor before beginning work on MARTIN® Air-Supported Conveyor. After careful consideration about the location of the MARTIN® Air-Supported Conveyor System, installations can Orifice size is critical to the performance of the MARTIN Air-Supported Conveyor System. Refer to Damage Warning Statement on Page 1 of this manual and make sure correct orifice size is used. Deviating from this size could effect the...
