Design The stainless steel belt conveyor frame includes the primary material weigh bridge and an optional secondary continuous auto tare weigh bridge. The conveyor frame is removable on a telescopic support structure from the stainless steel housing. Gasketed side and top covers include full length windows and, when mounted, provide for a dust tight enclosure (the SWB-600 only has a window in the front cover). The continuous woven belt is driven by a EPDM (FDA approved) coated discharge pulley. Continuous belt tensioning is achieved through a spring loaded assembly and belt removal is accomplished through a simple release of that assembly. Continuous automatic belt tracking is assured by Coperion K-Tron’s well proven tracking and internal belt cleaning technology. A secondary internal belt scra- per is employed prior to the idler pulley.The idler and drive pulley are equipped with stainless steel scrapers and the external surface of the belt is scraped clean at the discharge point. The unit is supplied with a DC drive motor and robust helical/worm 90° gear reducer. Belt speed is sensed via an optical encoder on the idler pulley (for general purpose applications). Material flow onto the belt/weigh bridge is set through a stainless
