All conveyor rollers and drums should basically be arranged perpendicular to the conveying
direction of the belt. If mistracking of the belt cannot be ruled out in spite of these measures,
the following adjustments may be carried out to improve the belt run:

Adjustment of return pulley (pos. 1, 2, 3, 4).

e.g. tensioning the head section to the left (pos. 1) results in the belt running
to the right in conveying direction.

Adjustment of tension pulley or drive drum (pos. 5, 6, 7).

In this case you should check beforehand, if the two drums are aligned in a right angle
to the conveyor belt (avoid adjustment of belt run).

Adjustment of snub roller in front of return pulley (pos. 8).

In principle, the following applies to all rollers and drums in the system:

Install the adjusting unit (pos. 1) at the point where the belt begins to leave
its ideal track.

By adjusting the rolls to each other the belt run can be corrected aligning it
either towards the profile or away from the profile.

If the belt is mistracked again at a certain point, you will have to repeat this procedure.

Procedure for accelerator roller

Adjustment is done by means of eye bolt (pos. 1) on the accelerator roller frame.

Adjust roller in a way that the belt (pos. 2) runs centred on the roller.
