DURATRANS XD® CONVEYOR

Installation

Preparing the Pit
1) Clean out the pit.
2) Measure the total length of pit, it should be 1 FT longer than the total conveyor length.
3) Starting with the entrance section, place each conveyor section, except for the exit section, on
the shelf of the pit.
Note: Leave the exit section out so there is some room to work

4) Run a plumb line from the entrance to the exit over the top of the conveyor shelf.
5) Measure the distance from the pit wall or centerline of equipment to the centerline of the
driver side Correlator frame and weld down pieces of round stock at the entrance side that are
at least 5” high off the Conveyor surface. The 5” height is to allow adequate working space.
6) Go to the exit end of the tunnel. Measure then weld down round stock at least 5” high off the
Conveyor surface at the exit end.
Note: The measurement stated above is the same at the entrance and exit ends of the tunnel.

Helpful Hint
You can install a temporary anchor bolt in the floor just beyond the exit end of the pit to secure a plumb-line.
This bolt MUST be removed once installation is complete.

7) Pull a plumb line from the entrance to the exit. This line should be the center of the conveyor.
Note: The Driver side of the conveyor should be 1” away from the driver side pit wall.

8) Line the conveyor sections together and look to see if the pit wall prevents you from installing
the conveyor on the centerline of the driver side Correlator main frame.

Note: If the driver side of the conveyor makes contact with the pit wall you will have to move the
conveyor away from that wall.
9) Looking down the tunnel, the conveyor should look to be straight through the building.
