'''Return Belt Ploughs''' are designed to clean the inside of a conveyor belt on its return trip and to remove any large lumps that can potentially damage the belt or tail pulley lagging if allowed to travel through this area. | |||
==Installation== | |||
It is important that the ABS Plough be correctly positioned, ideally on a flat surface as close as practicable to the tail end or take-up area of the conveyor. The apex of the plough should be located 150 mm behind a flat return roller to achieve optimum cleaning performance. | |||
# Loosely assemble plough connecting linkage arms to the plough body. | |||
# Place the plough on the belt and ensure there is enough clearance. Position the mounting brackets in either a vertical or horizontal position, ensuring the centre line of the pole is between 190-350 mm above the return side of the belt. | |||
# Mark and drill the holes to correspond with the mounting brackets and attach with M12 bolts. | |||
# Centralize the ABS Plough in the correct position to the belt, located by locking shaft collars into position. | |||
# Adjust the turnbuckle so the plough sits evenly across the belt. | |||
# Test run belt to ensure the correct operation of the unit. | |||
