Specifications:

1. Drive Package: Drive Package: Includes a 1/3 hp 110V input AC TEFC motor with a 4-40 FPM variable speed controller (2-20 FPM or 7-70 FPM are available at no charge). The gear reducer is sealed and permanently lubricated requiring no service. Power transmission is provided via direct drive configuration. 15' of SJ cord with a standard three-prong plug is pre-wired to the starter. Control wiring is contained in liquid-tight conduit and connectors. EA conveyors 3'–40' long have 150 lb. maximum load.

2. Belt Guidance: True Track Belt Guidance System comes standard on 3'–30' long conveyors. Using a Double V-guide slot in the frame, 1/4" wall crowned pulleys, and bonded Double V-guide belting, “True Track” minimizes belt run off and reduces belt tracking maintenance.

3. Pulleys: To ensure long lived operation, 3.5" diameter crowned pulleys incorporate 1" diameter shafts, self aligning sealed ball bearings with eccentric locking collars, telescopic take-up adjustment, position locking nuts, and Zerk grease fittings.

4. Belting: Our easy to clean, FDA approved, white, PVC belting with staple-type belt lacing (which prevents lacing pullout and splice failure), makes belt maintenance quick and easy. Inclined conveyors have a bottom cleat support plate and bonded flexible cleats that have no bolts or rivets that may tear out.

5. Frame: Choose from 1/8" anodized sheet aluminum for greater portability, or 12-gauge powder coated (light grey) steel for maximum stability. Both are built to withstand heavy-duty industrial wear.

6. Rails: To ensure molded pieces do not get pinched, damaged, or lost between the rail and belt, we place either 12-gauge stainless steel or 1/8" anodized aluminum 4" rails so that they overlap the belt by 0.5". To keep your molded parts contained on the infeed end of the conveyor, we include an infeed-end backpiece.

7. Shipment: Generally conveyors 3'–10' are shipped fully assembled, pre-wired, tested, and ready to run (legs must be attached). Conveyors 11' and over are shipped partially assembled to minimize shipping damage. Some frame and belt assembly is required; drive packages and system panels are pre-assembled and tested. For your convenience, arrangements can be made for longer conveyors to be shipped assembled.

8. Leg Sets: Quick adjusting leg sets and locking swivel castors are included as standard on all Merit Line conveyors. Belt height must be specified.
