3 Installation of the

Small Conveyor Drive

Chapter Outline

Unless the small conveyor unit was delivered with a working unit attached, the

channel, trough, or rail must first be bolted onto the small conveyor drive.

Afterwards, the entire small conveyor unit has to be positioned and bolted firmly

onto the base plate or the support.

3.1 Installation of the working unit

If the small conveyor unit was delivered by AViTEQ complete with the working unit

assembled, you may skip ahead to Chapter 3.2 „Mounting the small conveyor unit

on the base plate“ on page 7 now.

3.1.1 Your own working unit

If you want to build your own working unit, please observe the following hints:

The body of the channel has to be stiff to avoid bending. In the case of large

lengths/widths and low side walls, sideway folding of the edges or other stif-

fening measures may be required to achieve this. If required, ribs or rails have

to be attached. However, this must not interfere with the attachment of the

channel!

Operating noise: the small conveyor drive generates a sound pressure level of

less than 70 dB(A) without considering the working unit or the transported

material.

Depending on the construction of the working unit and the acoustic properties of

the material transported, the sound pressure level of the operational small con-

veyor unit may exceed 70 dB(A). It is the operator's responsibility to ensure adhe-

rence to the sound pressure level permitted by means of suitable noise protection

measures!

F The center of mass of the channel or rail should be within the front section

(outlet side) of the small conveyor drive.

F When placing the mounting holes, use the information in the AViTEQ leaflet

"small conveyor units“. Do not drill any additional holes into the small con-

veyor drive! Only use the threaded holes on the small conveyor drive!
