EXCESS BELT/CHAIN UNDER OVEN IS BOUNCING

The excess belt or chain under the oven is bouncing and causing a “jerky” conveyor motion.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

If the conveyor has a "jerky" motion, look under the oven at the excess belt or chain. Sometimes, the excess belt can

start to bounce underneath. A "standing wave" can be seen on the conveyor. This can be caused by the under oven

idlers and followers sticking. Clean the "bearing surfaces" of the idlers to allow a smooth rotation and linear movement.

Another possibility is that the drive sprockets are holding the conveyor belt/chain too long on the off-load, causing the

conveyor to wrap around the sprocket and then drop quickly, instead of rolling off the sprocket smoothly. This can be

caused by excessive wear between the teeth.

1 Sticky chain/belt idlers under the oven.

2 Chain/belt drive sprockets holding conveyor too long.

3 The Chain may “catch” on the Belt at the ends of the Oven.

THE CHAINS ARE DIRTY (EDGE RAIL CONVEYOR ONLY)

The chains are dirty and/or dry (edge rail conveyor system only) causing the conveyor to “jerk”

as it goes around.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

If the chains are dirty, they will not flow smoothly around the sprockets and the idlers. The links can stick and kink up

holding an angled position instead of laying flat. Clean the chain links if they appear to have an excessive amount of build

up residue. The chains may need to be removed and soaked in a cleaning solvent to completely clean them.

If they look "dry", oil the chains, however, refer to the Preventive Maintenance Manual for lubrication recommendations.

Do not over-oil the chain. Too much oil will cause smoke when the oven heats up.

Also since the opening in the rails is very small, any chain links with any dirt could get stuck in the rails and cause a

"jerky" motion of the conveyor.

RUN “CONVEYOR SPEED CALIBRATION” PROCEDURE

The conveyor is in need of calibration if the measured speed of the conveyor to be different from

the displayed speed of the conveyor.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Perform the conveyor calibration. Refer to the Oven Operations Manual for details on this procedure.

If after calibration, the conveyor measured speed is not equal to the displayed speed, then the electrical wiring and

components should be checked, especially the encoder output.

CONVEYOR BELT, CHAIN & RAIL SERVICE

REMOVE AND REPLACE CONVEYOR BELT

DISCONNECTING THE CONVEYOR BELT

1. Locate the master link in the belt. The master link can be identified by the double size 'holes' in the belt. There will be

two double size holes located at the fourth link in from each end. There are five master links in the belt. The single lane

master link is the center link on the belt. The conveyor will have a belt with five single master links. (instead of two triples

and one single master link).

2. At the right side of the belt, locate the master link. Using screwdriver or chain nose pliers, unhook the left hook of this

master link from the belt. Then, using the same tool, unhook the right hook of the master link from the belt.

3. Using a screwdriver, lift the left side of the master link out of its position in the fourth link from the end on the oven side

of the belt. Using a screwdriver, unhook the right side of the master link from the belt.

4. Locate the triple master link on the left side of the belt. Using screwdriver or chain nose pliers, unhook the right hook

of this master link from the belt. Now using the same tool, unhook the left hook of the master link from belt.

5. Using a screwdriver, lift the right side of the master link out. Using a screwdriver, unhook the left side of the master

link from belt.

6. Squeeze the ends of the triple master link together and slide the master link ends out of the oven side of the second

link in from the end.

7. At the right side of the belt, squeeze the ends of the triple master link together and slide the master link ends out of the

oven side of the second link in from the end.

8. The triple master links will stay in this position to reassemble the conveyor belt. Carefully lower the bottom end of the

conveyor belt taking care not to let it get caught anywhere

9. At the center of the belt, using a screwdriver, unhook the right side of the single link. Lift the unhooked side up and

remove the single master link from the belt. The belt will now separate. Unhook the bottom edge of the belt from the

driven shaft and lay it on the floor under the oven.

NOTE: Use only single links for replacement.

Technical Service Manual 70 Revision Date: August 2004

RECONNECTING THE CONVEYOR BELT

1 Retrieve the single master link previously removed. Hold the master link so that the opening faces you

and the curve in the link matches the curve in the belt. Insert the link into the belt so the hooks go into the

two links surrounding the center link.

2 Hook the right hook into the center link of the bottom belt edge. Push the link back into place and using a

screwdriver, connect the left hook to the center link of the bottom belt edge.

3 Grasp a triple link and squeeze it into a U shape. While holding this shape, slide the ends of the triple

master link into the belt. Release the ends of the master link.

4 Grasp the other triple master link and squeeze it into a U shape. While holding the U shape, slide the

ends of the master link into the belt. The master links should now be connecting the two belt ends.

5 At the right side of the belt, using a screwdriver, hook the master link right hook into the last hook of the

belt (insert the master link hook from the top). Then using a screwdriver connect the master link right

hook into the first link on the bottom edge of the belt.

6 Using a screwdriver slide the left side of the same master link into the belt. Then, using the screwdriver,

connect the left master link hook to the belt, inserting the hook from the underside of the belt.

7 At the left side of the belt, using a screwdriver, hook the master link left hook into the last hook on the belt

(insert the master link hook from the top). Then using a screwdriver connect the master link left hook to

the belt.

8 Using a screwdriver, slide the right side of the same master link into the belt. Then, using the

screwdriver, connect the right master link hook to the belt, inserting the hook from the underside of the

belt.

End of procedure.
