Page 8: Test Chain Assembly
To connect or dis-assemble sections of the chain, remove the pins from the roll shafts. The shaft can then be removed and links of chain can be connected or removed for installation or storage. Milltronics Test Chain Operating Instructions, 10/2021, A5E32310082-AB... -
Page 9: Installing/Mounting
Installing/Mounting Installation guidelines The Siemens Milltronics test chain storage reel requires a support steel structure for installing above the conveyor. Locate an area suitable for the storage reel for flat or inclined conveyors upstream of the belt scale’s location toward the head pulley. For declined conveyors, the reel should be located to the upper side of the conveyor, approach end. -

Snaking causes the results to be non repeatable and varying. Eliminate by readjusting the wire rope guide cable (stays) until the problem is solved. Tension should not be applied to the retrieving cable. Milltronics Test Chain Operating Instructions, 10/2021, A5E32310082-AB... - Page 20 Disable the gear motor by removing power from the unit. This prevents unauthorized or accidental release of the chain during normal belt operation. The test chains should never be released while material is on the belt.
