The Drummotor should be mounted horizontal, square to
the frame of the conveyor and parallel with the tail drum.
The drummotor can be mounted at the head end as well
as the tail end of the conveyor. The indented arrow on the
mounting shaft opposite the terminal box (or cable entry)
end must point upwards (refer to Fig. 1).
This installation procedure ensures that the rotating internal
parts are adequately submerged in oil. Any deviations from
this position are allowed up to an angle of approximately
45º.
should be re-positioned to follow the above requirements.
Warning:
The conveyor belt must never be over-tensioned. Too much tension on the belt could cause
internal damage of the Drummotor.
The junction box can be turned from the standard mounted position (cable entry
has been loosened.
The degree of rotation is strictly limited to 90° CW and 90° ACW.
In order to ensure that the Drummotor is properly electrically connected, refer to the
en
enclosed circuit diagrams on pages 28-35. Remember that the `Delta` voltage is always
the lowest voltage shown on the data plate. Always have the Drummotor connected by
The Drummotor must be installed with the correct protection against 'overload', (eg. thermal
overloads, in-line fuses, etc.). The full load current rating (FLC) of the motor is shown on the
stainless steel data plate mounted on one of the Drummotor end fl anges or on the junction
box. Before connection, ensure that the electrical supply/frequency is in accordance with
(resistance device) or GV Therm Klixon (Bi-metallic switch N-C), these should be connected
into a suitable circuit to provide additional 'over-heating' protection of the motor winding.
Attention:
diagram enclosed, or the diagrams shown on pages 33-35.
Activating the power supply:
1. Check that the Drummotor is connected correctly (see above) and is suited for the supply
voltage/frequency available on site.
2. Check that the Drummotor and conveyor belt are free to move.
