3.5. BEFORE STARTING

The machine must be on a level, compacted area with firm stable underfoot conditions.
Ensure all emergency stop buttons / latching switches (if fitted) are not switched to the STOP position.
Ensure all electrical controls are in the off position.
3.5.1. STARTING AND CHECKING THE CONVEYOR

The following procedure must be carried out before starting the MC600.
 Announce to all relevant personnel that the conveyor is going to be started.

 An external power source must be connected to the MC600 by a qualified electrician to
provide power to the modular conveyor.
 Start the electric motor to check smooth power delivery to the machine.
 Check if the direction of the conveyor is correct, as can be seen from the illustration below.
Check that the tracking of the conveyor belt is correct. The tracking of the belt can only be
checked whilst it is in motion. Absolute care must be taken when tracking the belt to avoid
injury (Refer to Chapter 5.4 - Belt Tracking).
3.6. SHUTTING DOWN

The following procedure must be carried out when shutting down the MC600.
 Stop the material feeding into the feed boot.

 Wait for all the material to pass over the length of the machine, then stop the conveyor by
switching the electric motor off.
 Lock Out the machine in accordance with the relevant procedures when not in use.
 It is very important to note that the feed boot of your conveyor should not be left under load
for extended periods of time.
3.7. ADJUSTING THE CONVEYOR ANGLE

The MC600 has a telescopic support leg on front. Adjustments to the angle of the conveyor can easily
adapted by using these legs.
Slight adjustments in the angle of the conveyor can be performed by loosening the retaining bolts on
the hangers and sliding them along the length of the centre section. This is potentially a dangerous
operation. Make sure that the conveyor is adequately supported and that there is no risk of it falling
nor toppling forward. Remember to tighten all the fasteners after any adjustments.
Changing the conveyor angle is potentially a dangerous operation. Make sure that the conveyor is on
level ground and that there is no risk of it falling or toppling forward. Remember to replace all the
locking pins after any adjustments.
NOTE: When adjusting the conveyor angle be careful not to tip the conveyor over to the front.
Always take care that the centre of gravity of the assembly is between the axle and the tail section
to prevent tipping. Tipping over will damage your machine and/or cause injury to personnel.
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE CONVEYOR IS

ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED BEFORE LOOS-
ENING ANY FASTENERS ON THE SUPPORT
STRUCTURE. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN DEATH OF SERIOUS INJURY.
Figure 11: Angle Adjustment
There is a correct way and an incorrect way of adjusting the angle of the conveyor, which are
illustrated in the drawings below. The decal sign indicates where approx. the centre of gravity is.
CORRECT WAY
The axle must be well in the front of the centre of gravity (approx. in the middle of the conveyor)
to reduce the load on the legs as well as to ensure that the conveyor does not tip forward.
Centre of gravity
Axle in front of the

centre of gravity
INCORRECT WAY
In the drawing below, the position of the axle is shown behind the centre of gravity and with the
added stress from having the support legs spread apart to accommodate the shallow angle can
cause serious damage with the possible collapse of the conveyor.
Centre of gravity
Axle behind the centre of

gravity
Figure 12: Centre of gravity of the conveyor
A typical recommended example can be seen in the illustration below, of the distance (A) between the
centre of the axle and the centre of the base plate is approx. 8822 mm set at an angle of 13º with the
16 metre MC600 conveyor.
To adjust the angle of the MC600 the following procedure must be adhered too:
 Ensure that suitable rigging equipment and qualified personnel are available to support the
conveyor. A minimum of two people are required to perform this operation with appropriate
scaffolding / platforms.
 Lock Out the machine in accordance with the relevant procedures.
 Temporarily support the weight of the conveyor using appropriate rigging equipment.
 Loosen the retaining bolts on the top hangers.
 Slowly lift or lower the conveyor to the desired angle. This may require that the hanger brack-
ets be removed if the travel between cross-braces is not enough.
 Tighten the hanger brackets.
 Slowly lower the temporary support and check that the conveyor support legs and the hanger
brackets can support the weight of the conveyor.
 Before removing the temporary support completely, check that the centre of gravity is
between the axle and the tail pulley. If unsure, repeat the procedure and move the axle fur-
ther away from the tail pulley.

CHAPTER 4: OPERATION
Read and fully understand CHAPTER 1: Safety before continuing any further. The MC600 Modular
operation.
4.2. SAFETY BEFORE AND DURING OPERATION

Only qualified and trained personnel should attempt to operate this conveyor. The following procedure
must be adhered too before and during the operation of the conveyor.
 Read and understand the Operators Manual before you start the conveyor. Study the DANGER,
WARNING, CAUTION and IMPORTANT safety signs on your conveyor.
 Wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety

boots, eye protection, ear plugs, hard hat, gloves and dust mask (as required).
 Check your conveyor and have all systems in good operational condition.
 Check for broken, loose, missing, or damaged parts. Replace and make
necessary repairs.
 Ensure all safety guards are fitted and in working order.

Refer to Chapter 4.3 - ‘Checks before Start Up’ for a detailed checklist before start-up.
 Before starting, walk completely around the conveyor. Make sure no one is under it, on it or
close to it. Let other workmen and bystanders know you are starting up and do not start until
everyone is clear of the conveyor.
 During operation, do not climb onto, over or under the conveyor. This can cause severe injury.
Always use ladders, or if fitted, steps and walkways, when mounting and dismounting.
 The hole alignment on the mechanical supports must be checked and secured with pins
provided and in accordance with safety signs.
 Never work or stand beneath the conveyor or attachments as it is raised or lowered.
 Never work or stand beneath the conveyor as they are being loaded with and/ or discharging
material.
 Follow safe operating practices. Operate the conveyor controls smoothly.

Avoid sudden stops, starts, or changes in direction.
 Only use emergency stop buttons or emergency stop lines (if fitted) in emer-
gency situations or during safety drills.
 After each day’s operation, always run the conveyor dry; never leave mate-
rial on the conveyor. Starting the conveyor with a full load will cause strain
problems in your conveyor.
4.3. RECOMMENDED CHECKS BEFORE START-UP

The following recommended inspection routine must be carried out before start-up. It is advised that
the Recommended Maintenance Checklist (Chapter 5.3) is also carried out after lengthy periods of non-
operation. These are the minimum recommended checks. Certain applications and conditions may
require additional checks or maintenance.

15 motor (if fitted)
4.3.1. STARTING AND CHECKING THE CONVEYOR

Before starting, walk completely around the machine. Make sure no one is under it, on it or close to it.
Let other workmen and bystanders know you are starting up and do not start until everyone is clear of
the conveyor.
Note: If the 13m picking conveyor is being started up, ensure that the variator speed settings must
only be set with the electric motor powered up and operating. Operating the hand wheel or remote
control while the variator is stationary can irreversibly damage its internal components
Start up the conveyor via the start button on the external electrical panel. Check if the travel direction
of the conveyor belt is correct.
Check that the tracking of the conveyor belt is correct. The tracking of the belt can only be
checked whilst it is in motion. Absolute care must be taken when tracking the belt to avoid
injury (Refer to Chapter 5.4 - Belt Tracking).
Listen for any unusual sounds (seized rollers, belt rubbing on frame etc.).
If fitted with a hydraulic motor (optional) instead of the electric motor, then adjust the
hydraulic lever controls to start the conveyor.
4.3.2. INTRODUCING MATERIAL TO THE CONVEYOR

When starting to feed the conveyor, the following procedure should be followed to ensure full capacity
operation:
 Ensure that the electric motor is at operating speed; also check that the direction of the belt
and the tracking thereof is correct.
 Begin to feed the conveyor at a low rate, gradually increase the feed until your conveyor, and
the system it is operating in, can handle the load.
After an initial period stop the machine and check for obstructions. Check for material spillage and
excessive build up in the feed boot.
4.3.3. FEED SIZE SPECIFICATION

This conveyor can be used for the loading and feeding of sand, gravel, aggregates, rock, coal, and any
other hard core material to a maximum of 250mm. This does not include hot materials, which will
damage the conveyor belt on your conveyor.
4.3.4. SHUTTING DOWN THE CONVEYOR

When shutting down the feed to the conveyor, the following procedure should be followed to ensure
that no damage can be caused during this operation:
 Stop the material feeding into the feed boot.

 Wait for all the material to pass over the length of the machine, and then stop the conveyor by
switching the electric motor off/hydraulic motor.
 Lock Out the machine in accordance with the relevant procedures when not in use.
It is very important to note that the feed boot of your conveyor should not be left under load for
extended periods of time.
Chapter 5: MAINTENANCE
CHAPTER 5: MAINTENANCE
Read and fully understand CHAPTER 1: SAFETY before continuing any further. The MC600 Modular
operation.
It is recommended the maintenance personnel perform a Maintenance Check on the MC600 Modular
Conveyor at least once a week (every 5 shifts). Performing the maintenance checks and attending to
any fault/s will prolong the life of your machine and the safety of the operator and personnel working
around the machine.
5.2. RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST

This recommended Maintenance Checklist is in addition to the Pre-start Checklist that the operator
performs on a daily basis (Chapter 4.2). The Maintenance Checklist does not replace the Pre-start
Checklist.
These are the minimum recommended maintenance guidelines as seen in the chart below. Certain
applications and conditions may require more frequent maintenance. Never alter any parts on your
conveyor without consulting PILOT CRUSHTEC or your service provider.
Note: The bearings fitted to the drive and tail drums are sealed units that have sufficient grease for
the life of the bearing. No regular greasing of these bearings is required.

5.4. BELT TRACKING ON YOUR CONVEYOR

Belt tracking is performed at the tail section of the conveyor. Before doing any adjustments to the Tail
drums first identify the cause for the belt running oblique (Refer to Chapter 5.5). Adjust the belt with
the tensioners (A) either side on the tail section
A small movement in the adjuster i.e. less than 20mm (0.8”) should be sufficient.
The adjustment depends on the length of the conveyor. A greater movement will affect the tension of
the belt.
5.5. BELT TRACKING

Oblique travel may cause fast deterioration of the belt. In order to assist you we have compiled some
of the reasons for oblique travel with appropriate remedies.
REASONS FOR OBLIQUE EXAMPLES OF OBLIQUE

REMEDIES
TRAVEL TRAVEL
1. Insufficient aligning of drums a. Align all drums, carrying idlers

and idlers and return idlers at right angles
to the travelling direction of
belt.
b. Check that all drums and idlers
are level to each other
If a & b are as above then carry out

the following:
Adjustments are made as indicated
on Figs 1, 2, 3, by turning drums
and carrying idlers in direction of
arrow until the belt is running
straight and centred on the
conveyor.
Also return idlers may cause oblique

belt travel and therefore they must
be aligned at right angles to the
travelling direction of the belt and
after that adjustment can be made
2. Misalignment of Frame Oblique travel can be reduced by

turning forward outer carrying idlers
1-3 degrees in travelling direction of
the belt. See Fig 4: If this does not
correct the oblique travel then align
the frame
3. Material built up on drums and Check idlers and drums.

idlers Check belt cleaners and replace if
necessary. Possibly change to more
efficient type.
Figure 16: Adjusting the Belt Tracking
5.6. BELT TENSIONING ON YOUR CONVEYOR

Belt tensioning on the conveyor is performed at the tail section. The following procedure should be
carried out:
 By adjusting the belt tensioners (A), Figure 17, equally on either side of the section, you can
either tighten or loosen the belt.
 The belt should be sufficiently tight to prevent slippage at the drive drum. If over tighten the
life of the belt will decrease
Figure 17: Belt Tensioner nut A
5.7. TROUGHING IDLER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

The angle of the troughing idlers can be adjusted to cater for different materials and conveyor angles.
The angle of the 3 idlers closest to the return pulley should never be adjusted, they are factory set at
their lowest possible angle so that the skirts on the feed boot seal effectively.
Similarly the three idlers closest to the drive drum are also set at their minimum angle so that
conveyor belt does not slip on the drive drum. A steeper troughing idler angle assists in guiding the
conveyed material to the centre of the belt as well as preventing ‘roll back’.
The following procedure is as follows:
 Ensure that suitable scaffolding / platform is available to perform this operation.
 Loosen the L-bolt.
 Loosen the U-bolt.
 Slide the troughing idler up until the tube clears the L-bolt.
 Remove the L-bolt and re-insert it in the desired hole further down on the bracket.
 Slide the troughing idler down so the inside of the tube locates on the L-bolt.
 Tighten the L-bolt and the U-bolt.
Repeat the procedure for the other troughing idler. Note, the angles of left, and right troughing idlers
must be the same (i.e. the L-bolts must be in the same holes relative to each other).

Figure 18: Troughing Idler Angle Adjustment
5.8. REMOVING THE DRIVE GEARBOX

This section applies only to conveyors fitted with electric motor drives. The electric motor and drive
gearbox are directly coupled together and are removed off the machine as a unit.
The procedure to remove the Drive gearbox is as follows:
 Ensure that suitable rigging equipment and qualified personnel are available to support the
weight of the motor and gearbox assembly. A minimum of two people are required to perform
this operation with appropriate scaffolding / platforms.
 The electrical connection to the motor must be removed and isolated by a qualified
electrician.
 Remove the brass nut (1).
Brass Nut (1)
 Hold the lock nut (2) and remove the nut (3).
Lock Nut (2)
Nut (3)
 Support the gearbox and motor arrangement with appropriate slings and lifting equipment.
 Slide the gearbox off the Drive drum shaft. The torque arm bracket comes off with the
gearbox.
5.9. TAIL DRUM GUARD

The tail drum guard is fitted with expanded metal so the belt tracking can be checked without
removing it.
5.10. LUBRICATION
The BEARINGS are factory greased for life, so lubrication will not be necessary.
The GEARBOX is factory filled for life and does not require refilling with lubricates.
LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS (GEARBOX /GREASE IF NOT FACTORY FILLED/GREASED FOR LIFE)
CAPACITY LUBRICANTS/ALTERNATIVES
GEARBOX OIL 2.4 LITRES S320 (LONG LIFE)
The HYDRAULIC OIL (if fitted with a hydraulic motor drive) - Use Shell Tellus 52V68 hydraulic oil.

7.2. STOPPING THE CONVEYOR

Before stopping the conveyor, ensure all material has been discharged through the conveyor belt by
following procedures:
 First stop the material feeding into the feed boot of the conveyor and wait for the all the
material on the conveyor belt to be discharged i.e. ensure that the conveyor is empty of all
materials
 Stop the conveyor after all the material has been discharged from the machine.
 Lock Out the conveyor according to the relevant procedure.
7.3. PREPARING FOR TRANSPORTATION

For preparing the conveyor for transportation the following procedures must be adhered too:
 A qualified electrician must disconnect the electrical power source from the machine. The
power cable to the electric motor on the machine must be disconnected from the stand alone
electrical panel to ensure that no shock hazards exist from the machine’s disconnected power
supply.
 Inspect the Feed Boot to ensure that the machine is clear of all material.
 Ensure that the electric cable running to the motor is disconnected and the entry into the
motor is adequately sealed.
 Wash the conveyor to remove all debris and material.
 Remove the slewing axle and supports by unbolting the hangers at the top of the legs. This is
a potentially dangerous operation; it requires appropriate rigging equipment to support the
conveyor and competent personnel.
 Should the conveyor be too long for transport, it will require to be disconnected into two or
more sections.
 Firstly slacken the conveyor belt by screwing the tensioning bolts on the tail section all the
way in.
 Remove the tail drum.
 Remove the bolts holding the two centre sections together. Slide the two sections apart.
 Fold the one section over the other section. Note, the packing blocks need to be placed
between the two sections to prevent damaging the troughing idlers.
 Lift the one section over the other section. Locate into the bottom sections with the inner
stops provided.
 Secure the two sections together using appropriate straps.
Secure the two sections together using appropriate straps.
7.4. READY FOR TRANSPORTATION

The conveyor should now be ready for transport. The conveyor can be lifted with a crane. Once loaded
on the transport vehicle, secure the conveyor with the vehicles’ locking devices as well as with chain
shackles to the loadbed.
Figure 19: MC600 ready for transporting
7.5. PRIOR TO HAULAGE

For preparing the conveyor for prior for haulage the following procedures must be adhered too:
 Recheck for loose parts or debris on the machine.
 Ensure all pins are secured with ‘R’ and Split pins.
 Ensure persons transporting the machine adhere to all safety signs and procedures.
