Optimisation of conveyor belt tensioning

The Problem

Due to sanitation, frequent replacement of belts from conveyor belts is required. The time for replacing belts with the original tensioning system using set screws was too long, the repeatability of tensioning was inaccurate.

Solution

We have replaced the original set screw tensioning system with a modern lever mechanism. By simply turning the lever, the roller is moved and the belt released, and by returning it to its original position, it is tensioned again. Belt change is now significantly faster, no lengthy adjustments, no tools required, and the belt tension is constant. The solution meets the hygiene (FCM) standards according to European directives.
