TURBO HB
2.1. Transportation
Please read the safety precautions described at the beginning of this manual before
handling the following devices.
Depending on its destination, the conveyor is normally secured to a pallet then heat sealed inside a
protective plastic cover. All shipping documents including this manual are also secured to the pallet.
Regardless of the type of packaging, the un-creating and lifting instructions recommended by LNS SA
must be observed in order to prevent any injuries to persons and damages to objects.
2.2. Unpacking
For practical and safety reasons, the conveyor must be unpacked in a spacious, well-lit location.
Check to see that the lifting capacity of the hoisting crane, or lift truck, is adequate before
proceeding with the handling of the merchandise. No one should be near the hanging load,
or within the operating range of the overhead hoist/crane, forklift, or any other means used
for lifting and transportation.
1) If the conveyor is received as shown below start by removing the protective plastic material
2) Cut any steel banding used to secure the conveyor to the pallet using side cutters (always wear
eye protection and gloves)
3) Remove any screws holding the conveyor to the pallet (these may go through jacking or castor
plates.

2.3. Lifting the conveyor (note: some conveyors have castors welded in place for shipping purposes)
Check to see that the lifting capacity of the hoisting crane, or lift truck, is adequate before
proceeding with the handling of the merchandise. No one should be near the hanging load,
or within the operating range of the overhead hoist/crane, forklift, or any other means used
for lifting and transportation.
Lifting points are strategically placed around the conveyor system to allow the conveyor to be safely lifted
with a fork truck or liting straps. Otherwise points under the system are marked with arrows for safe,
balanced, lifting points for fork trucks to lift the conveyor system. Always read the weight on the conveyor
and check it against the capacity of the lifting equipment before attempting to lift:

2.4. Fitting the castors
Before attempting to fit the castors ensure the conveyors weight is properly and securely
off the castor plate and the conveyor is properly balanced to prevent injusry.
Depending on the specific design of conveyor the castors may either be welded to the conveyor or bolted
to the conveyor. If they are bolted to the conveyor they are normally shipped bolted upside sown to the
castor plate for stability in transport if this is the case then they will need to be fitted prior to installation.
Please see the drawing below for the castor assembly:

2.5. Safety devices
The LNS Company, or its local representative, may not be held responsible for possible
accidents or property damage, whether caused directly or not, by any means whatsoever,
if certain safety devices have not been included.
2.5.1. Description
The TURBO HB conveyor has been designed with a focus on maximum safety during its handling and
complies with all EC requirements.
Safety covers and devices make access to the moving parts of the conveyor impossible during operation.
The conveyor – machine interface must ensure that the conveyor cannot run when the machine door is
open. All safety interlocks on the conveyor or machine must not be over written at anytime. The
installation of the Hinge conveyor on site must ensure the belt is inaccessible during operation. It is
recommended that an E-Stop cord is installed around the discharge area of the conveyor and integrated
to the machines safety circuit. Suitable guarding should be provided between the conveyor discharge and
the receiving chip container. See sections below for further details.

2.5.3. Installation safety
In order to ensure the proper installation of the conveyor several steps must be taken. These steps are
listed below. It is possible to purchase these parts from LNS if required. Speak to your local LNS
representative for further details:
1) Suitable guarding must be used between the waste receptacle and the conveyor to ensure no
access to the moving belt is possible when the receptacle is in place (labeled 4 below). It is
recommended to utilize an interlock between the two components to stop the belt when the
receptacle is removed. In case any part of the belt is accessible then an emergency stop cord
around the discharge of the conveyor must be integrated to the machine tools emergency stop
circuit where the conveyor and machine are stopped immediately if the cord is pulled (labeled 1
below)
2) Suitable guarding must be installed around the area where the conveyor fits to the machine to
ensure that no conveyor belt is exposed to the customer. (Labeled 2 below).
3) A suitable waste receptacle must be utilized with the conveyor to ensure a proper fit to the conveyor
dimensions and working conditions (Labeled 3 below)
4) The conveyor must be integrated to the machines control circuit in such a way that the conveyor
belt cannot run when the machine door is opened. (Labeled 5 below).
5) Suitable warning signs must be placed at the danger zones of the conveyor such as the discharge
area to warn personnel of risk of injury.

2.6. Installation and startup
Your conveyor has been run prior to shipment to insure proper operation. However, it is recommended
that the following checks be made before startup:
2.6.1. Conveyor Drive
•Check frame and belt for damage during shipment or storage.
•Locate conveyor in operating position inside the machine (see separate specific interface instructions).
•All drive elements (pulleys and sprockets) should be located close to their bearing supports. Each set
of pulleys and sprockets should be carefully aligned to prevent excessive wear and noise.
•Belt should be properly tensioned.
2.6.2. Leveling
A level should be placed across tail section and on the conveyor belt inline with the direction of travel of
the belt. Adjust the conveyor or tanks castors to ensure the system is level. If the system is not equiped
with leving castors or jacking screws then it may be necessary to shim the system to make it level.
When the conveyor is installed to the machine it may be necessary to level the conveyor by adjusting
the setting of the conveyor leg in conjunction with a level. See the diagram below for details.
2.6.3. Connection to the machine
Once the conveyor has been installed to the machine, the conveyor must be connected to the interface of
the machine and if an Air header is supplied an air supply must be connected to the conveyor. At this
stage all guards must be in place as indicated in the specific installation instructions and in this manual.
For the electrical connection, please see section 2.6.4. and, if an electrical control is supplied, the
electrical drawing in side the conveyors electrical box.
If an Air header is supplied the pneumatic (airline) must be connected to the Air header inlet as indicated
in chapter 5, section 5.1.
Loosen the 4
bolts and tighten
them once the
leg is set. Raise / lower the
leg until the
conveyor is level.

2.6.4. Electrical connection
Particular attention should be given to the handling of electrical elements because of risks
of electrocution. In case of possible electrical malfunctions, it is advisable to contact LNS or
their local representative.
It is strictly prohibited to make adjustments as long as the conveyor is under electrical
power. The adjustments of the electrical equipment must only be performed by qualified
personnel in line with local regulations.
During the installation, ensure that the motor is wired in accordance with the supply voltage available. The
supply voltage of the conveyor is indicated on the electrical drawing supplied in the conveyors control
panel. If no control panel is supplied then the voltage can be checked directly at the conveyor motor
terminal box as shown below in section 2.6.5. and 2.6.6. respectively. Even if the electrical drawing is
correct to the machines requirements the conveyor motor should be checked to ensure the voltage
setting is correct to prevent possible damage.

Please read the safety instructions provided at the beginning of this manual before
Starting the conveyor
3.2. Belt tensioning – Checking the tension
Please read the safety instructions provided at the beginning of this manual before
carrying out any maintenance on the conveyor.
Correct conveyor belt tension is essential to ensure proper operation and extended life of the conveyor
components. The belt has been properly tensioned during factory assembly. As normal wear occurs the
belt may become slack and need adjustment. The following factors may be used to determine whether
the belt needs adjustment.
Belt too loose: Belt slack at exit point of the drive sprocket before re-entry into frame (see illustration).
Belt too tight: Belt has intermittent jerks and a popping sound while the conveyor is in operation.
