Introduction

Prior to welding the transport belts for TSplus
conveyors, the ends must be tapered to provide
the proper overlap. The belt grinder is designed
to grind the belt ends to the proper taper in a
single pass.

The belt grinder's 1/3 HP, 120 VAC/60 Hz motor
operates at 1,750 RPM to drive the V-belt that
powers the grinding mechanism. The grinding
mechanism features a round grinding drum with
a replaceable abrasive covering. An adjustable
clamping and feed mechanism holds the belt
securely and helps ensure the correct taper.
Important components are shown in Figure 1.

Shipping Information

The belt grinder is shipped completely assembled,
except for the table hand crank, which must be
installed prior to use.

The belt grinder has been adjusted to the
correct settings before leaving the factory;
however, it is highly recommended that you test
grind two scrap pieces of belt to ensure that the
belt lap length and zero-height adjustment have not
changed during shipping. See the “Preliminary
Adjustments” section for details.
