DURATRANS XD® CONVEYOR

Installation

Preparing the Pit

Objective
Optimum placement of the conveyor is to be centered off the driver’s side Correlator
frame and straight throughout the building.

The conveyor should be installed from the entrance to the exit on an incline of 1/4 inch
per 10 ft, as should the concrete floor throughout the building.

Note: This incline will keep pressure on the Rollers and keep the vehicles moving at a steady
speed.
The elevation of the top surface of the conveyor will change with the two different styles
for running vehicles through the car wash.
If the wash is setup to run the vehicles as a REAR TIRE PUSH the conveyor surface
elevation will be 1” higher than the passenger side floor height.
If the wash is setup to run vehicles as a FRONT TIRE PULL the conveyor top surface
elevation will be 1” lower than the passenger side floor height.
Understand the cement floor may have imperfections throughout the building and the
elevation may require improvising slightly, to avoid radical rises and falls throughout the
wash.

The first sections of conveyor where the vehicles would be driven onto may not be as
important as the rest of the conveyor.
The total length of the pit should exceed the total length of the conveyor by 1 ft. the
additional 1 ft will be split between each end of the conveyor (6” at entrance and 6” at the
exit), that will allow adequate room for fabrication at the transition areas ON and OFF the
conveyor.

Read the “Helpful Hints” for techniques that have proven
successful in such cases.
