Operation
ARBOGA Hinged Steel Belt Conveyors are designed to handle a variation of material in
different shapes and forms. They can convey short, long or curley swarf, dry as well as wet.
They can also convey parts. Ask ARBOGA-DARENTH!
The conveyor consists of the following main components:
Conveyor frame
Precision hinged steel belt
Drive system
Accessories (standard or customized)
The frame is designed to cover the chain wheels and its components for increased reliability. The
material is conveyed on the upper side of the belt, with a minimum of power, to your scrap bin.
To get a clean area around the conveyor it is equipped with a top plate. Optional the frame can
be welded waterproof.
Flights or cleats can be welded at regular intervals onto the belt in order to increase the capacity
of the conveyor. The belt is endless driven by a gear motor placed directly onto the shaft.
Examples of installations where the ARBOGA hinged belt conveyors are in sucessful use:
Incorporated into machine tools to convey swarf from the machine into a scrap bin (as well as
for conveying parts).
In channels below floor level connecting several or a line of machines for automatic swarf
removal.
In press lines to remove press scrap from the machine area.

Installation
Shorter conveyors will be delivered completely assembled, ready to install and to use. Longer
conveyors will be delivered in sections.
The conveyor or the conveying pieces can be handled by a crane.
When frame junctions are used assure that the wheel path (the frame) is in level on both sides.
The belt side wings must overlap so that the rear part of the front side wing is conducted inside
the front part of the rear side wing.
The conveyors shall be placed on a plane ground. They need not to be fastened, but it is an ad-
vantage to securely fasten the conveyors with expansion bolts, if it is possible. No dynamic
forces are being transmitted from the conveyor.
The lubrication directions from the gear manufacturer have to be followed (see enclosure).
