DTS-C 2000 – 1005 construction
DTS-C is a brand new system which improves self-clearing of the infeed and discharge in
combination with 2” Raised Rib modular belts. The system is designed for cans & PET, it can be used
at the infeed of machines with glass. It is not recommended to use DTS-C at the outfeed of
machines with glass. For optimum performance of the DTS-C transfer system please follow these
guidelines carefully.

ENGINEERING MANUAL
DTS-C finger comb installation
The DTS combs are equipped with oblong holes, which are centered at 76.2 (3”) pitch. These oblong
holes are used to bolt the combs onto the supporting profile. The supporting profile should be drilled
with M6 holes at 76.6mm pitch. Using 76.6mm pitch enables the combs to accomodate thermal
expansion over the full width of the machine. It is recommended to use RR2000 belts with Positrack
to ensure thermal expansion is equal to both sides.
Note: Please note that the supporting beam and strip must be straight and level, and strong
enough to prevent deflection.

Outer left comb centre of machine outer right comb
All DTS-C modules should be placed level. To ensure the DTS-Comb can slide sideways in order to
follow on the thermal expansion of the belt we recommend to fit the original shouldered screws only.
These screws are supplied with the combs (2 each). Do not overtighten the bolts (max. 13 Nm).
Note: For belts wider then 5500mm or temperatures above 90°C at the in/outfeed, please contact
our Techical Support Department for calculating the recommended pitch of the screws.

Adjusting the DTS-C transfer for optimum performance
DTS-Comb level
DTS-Comb up to
The top of the DTS-C must be positioned level or up to 2 mm below the flat surface of the
RR(HD) 2000 belt. Final adjustment the of combs is achieved as follows.
Higher position of the DTS-Comb
Longer deadplate
Positioning the comb higher increases the dead plate but will also provide a
smooth product flow.
Lowering the position of the DTS-Comb
Shorter deadplate
with top of
RR2000 belt
2mm lower then
surface of
RR2000 belt
Lowering the comb decreases the dead plate, but will also decrease the product
flow stability, due to the chordal action.
Optimum performance of the DTS-C is achieved by fine-tuning when running the machine with the
actual products.
