Ammeraal Beltech Innovation & Service in Belting Safety Guidelines for Our Conveyor Belts As a standard, our conveyor belts are designed with particular attention to safety. Unnecessary hazards have to be avoided when handling and using conveyor belts. For this reason, many design features have deliberately been selected in such a way, that the injury hazards for personnel being charged to handle and operate our belts are minimized. The regulations on the prevention of accidents for continuous conveyors (VBG 10), and in particular the paragraphs 5, 12, 53, 54 and 55, have to be carefully...

Ammeraal Beltech Innovation & Service in Belting Safety Equipment on Our Conveyor Belts One of the most frequent kinds of accidents in relation to conveyor belts is the injury of parts of the body that get caught in between the moving modular belt and the rotating rollers/ sprockets. To avoid such accidents or to minimize these risks as far as possible, all the conveyor belts have to be equipped with protective devices to cover any gaps and clearances in all those locations where the plastic belt runs on a roller, drum or sprocket. This protection has to be designed in such a manner that it...

Possible Hazards and Safety Risks We expressly draw your attention to the following hazards being in the nature of things when using belt conveyors: Risk of injuries by the frame The constructional design makes it inevitable to have edges and corners on the conveyor where the risk of injury exists due to inattentiveness. Risk of injuries by the plastic modular belt The movement of the plastic modular belt may cause serious gashes and bruises if the running conveyor is touched. Risk of injuries by moving parts In general, all the moving parts of a running machine present a risk of injuries....

Carryway Configuration In dry and clean environments, the belt supports are preferably out of uni-chains Unicon material since in most applications supports capable of electro-dynamic suspension (EDS) is required. In very wet conditions the use of stainless steel supports with drainage openings is the best choice. For conditions which are partially wet and/or not clean, please consult uni-chains. Wearstrips Bring each wearstrip profile in the correct position. In most cases, it is sufficient to bevel cut the opposing ends of the wearstrip profiles at an angle of 30° and to leave a gap of...

General Procedure 1. f a shaft take-up is installed, relax the same completely. I 2.  eed the belt from the drive side of the conveyor through the carryway. F 3.  Fit the belt around the idle sprockets. Take care that the sprockets do not change their position. 4.  For wide belts, make sure that the supplied sections are transported in a suitable manner. 5.  o not throw the belt sections onto the carryway. The non-observance of this instruction may result in the destrucD tion of individual modules. 6.  enter the belt in the conveyor frame. Pay attention to the location of the locked...

Installation Check 1.  urn the drive shaft slowly for several revolutions to make sure that the sprockets on the drive side and on the idle T side engage properly with the belt. Watch for possible catch points! 2. f the belt does not track properly, check whether the sprockets on both shafts are correctly positioned. Make sure I that the sprockets have been fitted in strict compliance with the instructions of this manual. Having ensured that the belt and the sprockets are correctly installed, check the precise alignment of the shaft bearings and the conveyor frame. 3. f long and wide...

Wide and Long Conveyors The installation of wide and long conveyors is more complicated than on narrow or short frames. It is advisable to use the conveyor motor to facilitate the installation. 1. f this possibility exists, span the distances in the returnway between the guides or rollers with tubes or lumber. This I prevents the formation of catenary sags before the belt ends have been connected together. 2.  lide the belt through the carryway of the conveyor, starting from the idle end. S 3.  rap the belt around the drive sprockets. Then use the motor to pull in the belt completely. W 4. ...
