I. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Your AVTEC Conveyor is a custom engineered
member of the AVTEC Conveyor Product Group.
This manual is intended to describe the product,
its applications, installation, operation and
maintenance. Since each of our products is
engineered and manufactured specifically for you,
this manual is written in general terms and may
describe options that do not apply to your
conveyor. Specific "As Built" shop drawings are
included with your conveyor for reference.

CAUTION: This equipment is electrically driven
by a motor that is of sufficient power to cause
personal injury if improperly or recklessly
used. There are a number of safety features
engineered into the design and construction of
this product, but common sense precautions
[i.e., avoid wearing loose clothing, jewelry, etc.]
and alertness should be practiced at all times.

These conveyors are intended primarily to move
trays or racks of dishware and/or utensils.
Transporting of individual items such as flatware
and direct food contact is not recommended.

II. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

A. Tray Assembly

Empty trays are loaded on one end of the
conveyor belt or cords and, as they progress
along the length of the conveyor, selected food
items and condiments are placed on the trays.
Trays are then off-loaded from the conveyor
and transported to the serving location.

B. Plate Assembly

Individual plates are placed on the conveyor belt
and selected food items are placed on the
plates. These plates are then off-loaded at the
end of the conveyor and transported to the
serving area.

C. Tray Return

Soiled dishes and trays are placed on the
conveyor belt or cords and transported from the
dining area to the dishwashing area, where they
are scrapped and otherwise prepared for the
dish-washing machine.

D. Dish and Rack Bussing

These conveyors can be single or double belt
width design and transport plates, utensils and
racks of soiled hollowware, from the scrapping
areas to the dishwashing machine. Dishware
can be stacked and transported without racks.

III. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

General directions are provided attached to the
conveyor system on the drive housing, at time of
shipping.
A. Mechanical

1. Slider Bed

In most applications field joints are intended
to be fully welded, ground and polished to
meet both operational and aesthetic
requirements. When a conveyor is to be
used in a generally dry environment, field
joints may be bolted. To assemble, slide the
sections of the conveyor together and align
the edges, then clamp sections and bolt
together using hardware provided. Remove
clamps. [See Fig. 3.1]

Fig. 3.1

2. Vertical Height Adjustment
a. Motorized systems

Permanently located conveyors should be
leveled to within 1/16" from side to side
and 1/32" per foot from end to end.
[Example: An 8'-0" long conveyor section
the maximum deviation between the
highest and lowest points should not
exceed 1/4".] This adjustment can be
made by adjusting the feet up and down
as required.

b. Gravity (rollers/skate wheels)

Gravity fed conveyors include drain
connections, with the drain towards the
terminus-end. Floor conditions may limit
adjustment, and puddling may occur. (It
must be wiped clean)

NOTE: When using mobile conveyors, care
should be taken to operate the conveyor on a
relatively level section of floor.

3. Self Cleaning return
On conveyors equipped with a self-cleaning
return system, it is important to align the
return pan at all field joints and seal the
seam with 100% silicon during installation to
insure proper belt operation. [See Fig. 3.2]

At the initial time of installation these pans
should be wiped free of construction debris
prior to initial start-up.

Fig. 3.2

4. Roller Return
On conveyors equipped with a roller return,
feed the belt over all rollers. Slight tension on
the belt should allow the ends to come
together and still leave slack under the slider
bed. [See Fig. 3.3].

Fig. 3.3

5. Belt Assembly - Hinge Type
With hinge type belts, align the ends of the
belt and insert pin. To disassemble, simply
remove the pin. [See Fig. 3.4].

removing the slat from the stainless steel
chain, simply place your thumbs on the
center of the slat with your fingers gripping
the leading edge and “arch” the slat away
from the chain while pulling upward.
When attaching a slat to the chain, bend the
slat upward a fair amount, position the slat
carefully so the small bevels in the slat lugs
align with the extended pins of the chain and
press downward.
The chain must be supported from
underneath with some object such as a
screw driver, handle, or tube.
Service people find that the slat can be
replaced most easily right over the drive
sprocket just before the belt goes down into
the drive/wash tank. Do not HAMMER the
slat onto the chain, it only ruins the slat and
is liable to come off at a later date.

[See Fig. 3.5]

a. Stringing the Slat Belt

To string the belt, loosen the drive
sprocket flange bearing locking collet
which allows the sprocket to run freely.
Install the belt and connect it together
(per fig. 3.4 or 3.5) Center the sprocket
by pushing it against alignment hub and
tighten the locking collet securely. Test
belt alignment by briefly running the
system. Any slippage or realignment
must be immediately addressed to
prevent damage.

Fig. 3.4

6. Belt Assembly - Chain Type

For belts with integral drive chain and
removable individual slats, the links and
slats required for assembly are shipped
loose. To assemble, draw the inner links
together then inserting the outer links, snap
in place. Links can be press-fit together
using channel locks or vise grips. In

Fig. 3.5

7. Belt Assembly - Fabric Type
With fabric type belts, align the ends of the
belt and insert pin. To disassemble, simply
remove the pin. [See Fig. 3.7].

8. Belt Assembly - Cord Type
See welding instruction cut sheet, at end of
manual.

9. Power Roller
Before start-up, the power roller chain must
be realigned. Turn the main sprocket
counter-clockwise (Right to Left operation),
or clockwise (Left to Right operation) until
chain is tight on bottom of sprockets [See
Fig. 3.8 and 3.9]. Loop the chain on top of
the sprockets to take up all excess slack, as
show in Fig. 3.10. For standard drives
(motor on bottom) the chain will not loop for
the first three (3) rollers over the drive
housing [see Fig 3.8]. Be sure to start up the
Power Rollers to verify the correct direction
of the motor, before installing the key. The
motor should turn in the same direction as
mentioned above. The key will be taped to
the inside of the motor housing.

. OPERATION

A control wiring diagram of your specific conveyor
is included at the end of this manual. The
following is a brief, verbal description of the
electrical related features of your unit.

A. Main Conveyor Control Console

Due to the variety of system options some of
the noted controls may not apply to your
system. In the event that the system includes
more than one conveyor, there may be
duplicate sets of controls (one per conveyor).
The controls will be labeled for the appropriate
system.

1. Disconnect Switch
The Disconnect Switch, mounted on the
Conveyor Control Panel, is used only when
servicing the AVTEC conveyor. To remove
power from the conveyor and the
components within the Conveyor Control
Panel, rotate the handle counter-clockwise
so that it is in the off position.

The Disconnect Switch must be in the "Off"
position in order to open or close the front
plate of the Conveyor Control Panel. When
it is in the "Off" position, a lock may be

Fig. 3.8

installed in the handle to prevent the switch
from being turned back on. Turn the handle
to the on position in order to restore power to
the conveyor and the Conveyor Control
Panel.

2. Speed Control
The speed control knob is located on the
main control panel and is clearly labeled.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the
speed of the conveyor belt. Turn the knob
counter-clockwise to reduce the speed of the
conveyor belt.
