Loading Point Installation

 

 

Place the Multotec Loading Point next to the conveyor, with the tapered leading end facing the tail end of the conveyor. Make sure the conveyor is locked out according to your company procedures

 Unbolt the one side of the Multotec Loading Point and remove it from the bottom section of the frame
 
Insert the Multotec Loading Point underneath the conveyor belt. When the Multotec Loading Point is in position re-attach the unbolted side section 

The conveyor can now be unlocked according to your company procedures

 

The correct clearance between the underside of the conveyor belt and the Multotec low friction bars is essential. When the conveyor is empty and fully tensioned, there must be a clearance of between 15 to 30mm. This is to allow the low friction bars to cool down when the belts runs empty and between loading peaks

Incorrect installation resulting in the conveyor belt running on the low friction bars continuously can cause heat build up which will result in the Multoslip melting and possible damage to the belt

This clearance is achieved by ensuring the idlers closest to the feed and discharge ends have the rollers slightly higher than the top surface of the Multotec Loading Point.

 

Worn low friction bars are easily replaced. Lock out the conveyor according to your company procedures. Lift the conveyor belt slightly and unbolt the worn bar. Install a new low friction bar using the 4 T-bolt and Nylock nuts supplied with each bar
