Return Goods Authorization Policy
TItan Industries has a RETURN GOODS AUTHORIZATION Procedure for all
returned items. With this procedure, we are able to streamline our process and
expedite your return.
This will require you to call a Titan salesperson prior to your sending back the item
to get a RGA number and receive instructions on how to return the item. Other
information needed at this time would be your original purchase order number, Titan
serial number, job number or invoice number. This will give our salesperson the
pertinent information needed for tracking your part or component. After receiving
you RGA number, you will have ten working days to return the item to us for process-
ing. All returned goods must have this RGA number clearly marked on the outside
of the box or crate and all paperwork pertaining to the return. Any return without a
RGA number, will be refused and returned to you at your cost. Anytime you want
to inquire about your return, please reference the Titan RGA number.

INTRODUCTION
The management and employees of Titan Industries thank you for specifying Titan equipment. This manual
will give you the basic information to install and maintain your equipment. If special circumstances or
questions come up call Titan at 920-982-6600.
I. RECEIVING
Upon delivery of your Titan conveyor, check the packing slip or bill of lading accompanying the unit. If any
components are missing, contact Titan IMMEDIATELY with a description of the missing components along
with the conveyor serial number(s). The serial number is found on the serial plate normally positioned by the
drive.
Check the unit(s) over carefully upon arrival for damage. If you nd any damage note it on the bill of lading.
YOU MUST also le a claim IMMEDIATELY with the carrier.
II. INSTALLATION
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, SAFETY SHOES, AND GLOVES.
HAVE AREA AROUND INSTALLATION SITE CLEARED OF DEBRIS.
LOCKOUT POWER TO CONVEYOR(S) UNTIL START-UP.
LOOK OUT FOR SHARP EDGES WHILE HANDLING CONVEYOR COMPONENTS.
BE CAREFUL IN AND AROUND THE CONVEYOR(S) DURING INSTALLATION.
ALSO, BE AWARE OF OTHERS IN THE AREA.
ONLY ALLOW QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL CONVEYORS.

IN ORDER FOR THE CONVEYOR TO BE STABLE, THE SUPPORTS MUST BE
LAGGED TO THE FLOOR OR SUPPORT STRUCTURE. THIS IS THE CUSTOMER
RESPONSIBILITY!!
FRAME ASSEMBLY
1. To start, along side the area where the conveyor is to be installed, layout the frame sections in their proper
position according to the ordered description or refer to your copy of the approval drawing.
NOTE: If several sections of frame are to be joined in a particular sequence, they will be factory
matched marked. See FIGURE 2.
2. Layout a line on the oor to represent the centerline of the conveyor. As frame sections are bolted
together make sure the frame remains centered on the line.
3. Generally, if there are short sections (1’, 2’ or 4’), position them adjacent to the drive section.
4. If a center take-up or center drive and take-up section has been provided, position the section as close
to the center of the conveyor as possible.
5. Bolt together conveyor frames nger tight. Square frames and make sure all frames line up with
adjacent section before securing all bolts. See FIGURE 3.

COMPONENT CHECKLIST
Prior to start up use the following list to double check the conveyor components.
MOTOR Have a qualied electrician ensure the motor is wired correctly for your power source.
Check that motor is securely fastened to the reducer or motorbase.
REDUCER Check that the proper amount of oil is in the reducer.* Make sure a vent plug is
installed on the reducer.* (A solid plug is usually installed for shipping.)See FIGURE 10.
BEARINGS Double check that bearings are fastened securely. Be sure that locking collars are
tightened and set screws are secured rmly to the shaft.
GENERAL Check that sprockets with chain and/or sheaves with V-belt are aligned and properly
tensioned.*
*Additional information available in section III Maintenance.
BELT INSTALLATION
1. Locate all take-up pulleys to their minimum take-up positions to allow for easy belt installation.
2. As a double check, lay out belt on a level surface and pull tight. The belt should lay at and be in a straight
line. See FIGURE 4. At this time recheck belt ends to ensure that they were cut squarely and that the
lacing was installed properly.
3. With typical belt threading arrangement shown on page 8 FIGURE 6 of this manual, install the belt on the
conveyor. Interlock the laced ends squarely, and push the connector pin thru the lacing. If a metal connector
pin is used, center the pin and bend the ends over slightly to keep the pin from working out. See FIGURE 5

4. After making sure the conveyor is cleared off and the drive pulley is moving the belt in the correct direction,
run the conveyor. Take up slack belt with the take-up provided until there is no slippage between the drive
pulley and the belt.
A GENERAL RULE FOR CORRECT BELT TENSION IS THAT THE BELT MUST BE
TIGHT ENOUGH TO MOVE YOUR PRODUCT AT FULL LOAD. OVERTIGHTENING
OF THE BELT WILL CAUSE THE BELT, PULLEYS, BEARINGS, AND DRIVE
COMPONENTS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY.
III. MAINTENANCE
BELT TRACKING
1. Level all frames crosswise.
2. Square the tail pulley.
3. Square all troughing and return idlers.
4. Make sure the belt splice is square.
5. Adjust individual troughing or return idlers as needed.
After completing the above steps, test the belt at a slow running speed. Then load the belt with material and continue
testing until normal operating speed and conditions cause no deviation from central running. Start with a light load
and gradually work up to the load that the conveyor was designed to handle. Adjustments to the loading chute may
be required to ensure that the load is being centered on the belt.
IDLER MAINTENANCE
All regreasable idler series use the same principle: One shot-grease through, with a standard alemite 1627-B on
one end and a bushing-pressure relief tting combination on the other end. If a change in the greasing side of the
idler is needed after the idler is installed, the ttings are interchangeable.
• The idler rolls are lled with grease from at the factory. Idlers that have been stored for longer periods of time
need to be purged and re-lled with grease.
• Idlers should be re-lubricated every 800 – 1000 hours unless running in extremely dirty or wet conditions where
more frequent greasing would be required.
• Do not over-grease! More idlers fail from over-greasing than from lack of grease. Make sure all ttings are
cleaned before and after greasing.
• Re-lubrication should not be done when outside temperature is below freezing. Grease is sluggish and stiff at
these temperatures and may cause internal damage.
• Roller grease seals are designed to hold in grease while there is pressure in the idler lubrication system. When
grease passes through all three rolls, the pressure relief t restricts the ow, causing internal pressure that results
in greasing being purged through the bearings. At a maximum pressure of 25 lbs. the relief tting releases; thus
protecting seals from excessive pressure. Leakage may occur around the outside ring of the seals. This is known
as star burst or starring. This will ush the contaminants away from the bearing

5. Make sure maintenance personnel look over the conveyor belt at least weekly and check on the following:
Belt is tracking properly and is not slipping on drive pulley.
Pulleys, rollers, deck, etc. are free from foreign material that could fall in or stick to the belt
and cause damage.
Belt is not being frayed or cut by siderails, chutes, hoppers, etc.
That belt lacing is not being damaged and belt connector pin is staying in the lacing.
MOTORS
1. CLEANING - All motors should be kept free of dirt and grease accumulations. Open motors should be
periodically vacuumed to remove dust and dirt from the windings.
2. VENTILATION - For best results motors should be operated in an area where adequate ventilation is
available.
3. TEMPERATURE - Most of todays smooth body T.E.N.V. and T.E.F.C. Motors run hot to the touch. As long
as maximum ambient temperatures are not exceeded, and more importantly, ampere draw is within the
allowable range, there should be no need to worry. (Both of these limits are found on the motor nameplate.)
4. LUBRICATION - Most electric motors are lubricated for life and under normal conditions require no more
lubrication. Under severe conditions where additional lubrication is required, use the following chart
as a guide.
THE FOLLOWING CHART IS BASED ON MOTORS WITH GREASE LUBRICATED
BEARINGS, RUNNING AT SPEEDS OF 1750 R.P.M. OR LESS, AND OPERATING
WITHIN AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE OF BETWEEN 0 DEGREES F. TO 120
DEGREES F.
