2.1 Base Conveyor ............................................................................................................. 15
The HMC-C01 compression sample head is a system which uses 2 conveyors to
compress MAP filled packages in order to squeeze the MAP gas out of any defect in the
package. The MAP gas is then sampled through sampling points placed at the sides, top,
and/or bottom of the package depending on the specific application.
The compression head is designed to be installed alongside the CM-01 base leak
detection system. Please refer to reference manual 00809-0100-4245 for details on the
base unit installation. This document is intended for the personnel who install, operate,
and maintain the detector.
The compression head is designed to be installed as a slot in solution on an existing or
new production line. The main components of the system are summarized below.

2.3 Enclosure Purge
The enclosure purge fan is located at the top of the system enclosure. When in use it can
direct up to 120 CFM of air into the enclosure. Inside the enclosure 2 deflection plates
direct the airflow to the upstream and downstream side of the system.
The net effect is a slight positive pressure is created inside the enclosure which prevents
ingress of contaminated air. If uncontaminated air needs to be ducted in from another
source then this can be done with the 100mm duct fitting on top of the purge fan.
2.4 Reject
The reject station is located after the compression conveyor and has 3 modes of operation:
Station
1.
Normal – in this mode any packs identified as a reject will be automatically
rejected at this point with a blast of compressed air.
2.
Clean – in this cleaning mode the system rejects all packs detected. (As
nominally no packs should be present during cleaning procedures)

WARNING
Support anchors and customer-supplied supports must be adequate for all foreseeable
loads, including any offset drive weight
Hardware tends to loosen during shipment, and should be tightened correctly. Tighten all
bearings and sprocket set screw; they are especially important for dependable operation of
your unit. As sections are assembled into place, check all hardware for tightness. You are
responsible for any damage caused by loose hardware that was not tightened at this time.
Recheck hardware regularly, to protect your investment and your workers.
Check the access to operator positions. There must be room around the various parts of
the conveyor both for its operation and for maintenance procedures. Add any guardrails or
safety devices now, before the unit is ever put into service.
3.2.2 Electrical Installation
National Electrical Codes are laws for safety. They must be followed, under the guidance of
your local electrician, inspector or licensed journeyman electrician. Here is how this helps
you:
It allows good machine control, protecting operators from mechanical accidents
when material jams.
It safeguards personnel from electrical shock injuries.
It safeguards the machine and its connecting wires from major short circuit current
damage.
It also safeguards the machine from slight amounts of over-current that can slowly
overheat motors, wire, and cause fires.
•
ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS
Serious injury or death could occur.
Many conveyors can be electrically reversed, but check that they are not able to jam with
loaded material when doing so. Controls must be clearly labeled which direction is which,
for safety.
Do not install this machine without a lockable electrical disconnect switch.
Variable Speed Controls can be included on any installation. Most of these are DC-type,
requiring DC motors.
ALWAYS
disconnect and lock out electrical power before working
on these controls. It is very easy to accidentally short out the solid state components inside
these controls.
All electrical options require additional operator and maintenance personnel training. The
customer must do this as soon as possible. Operator confusion about how to control, stop,
slow down, or otherwise operate the machine can result in a dangerous and costly
accident. Maintenance confusion can result in ruined controls unless the directions are
read and understood. Always keep copies of these directions in a clean location where they

can be found and referred to.
3.3 Flat Top & Friction Top Installation
3.3.1 Identify chain and sprockets
Chain identification can be found on the underside of the link/top plate. Sprocket
identification can be found on the face of the sprocket. Detailed information on
each sprocket and chain can also be found in the product catalog.
Check sprocket and wear strip position
Ensure that sprockets, carry and return wear strips are properly positioned.
3.3.2 Sprockets and wear strip position
The distance from the end of the wear strip to the sprocket shaft centerline
should equal 1.50, otherwise the wear strip will interfere with the free articulation
of the chain as it enters the sprocket.
The leading edges of the wear strips should be beveled.
3.3.3 Align drive and idler sprockets
Make sure that the drive and idler sprockets are aligned axially with the center of
the chain. Lock the sprockets in place using the keyway and setscrews.
If multiple strands share a tail shaft, key only one sprocket and allow others to
rotate. Collars should be utilized to prevent axial floating.
3.3.4 Idler Wheel and Sprocket Locations
The idler wheels can only be used in place of tail shaft sprockets on Rex®
TableTop® one piece unit link chains.
Idler wheels should not be used with roller base chains
For proper location and smooth operation, the idler wheels should be mounted
below the top of the wear strips.
3.3.5 Inspect guide clearance in both straight and corner sections
Check the carry and return wear strips at several locations to ensure proper
guide clearance. Check the corner tracks and discs for proper thickness. Make
sure there is adequate clearance for chain TABs. Ensure straight and curved
sections are lined up properly with smooth transitions. Adjust all items as
required.

CAUTION
3.3.6 Insert section of chain
Run a short section of chain by hand through each conveyor and over each
sprocket. Make sure there are not tight spots or obstructions such as sharp
edges, uneven wear strips, protruding bolts or screws or misaligned sprockets.
Adjust all items as required.
Transfers are very critical! Check all transfer locations by laying chain in the
tracks and sliding products through the transfer by hand. Adjust wear strips,
sprockets, corner tracks, deadplates, and guide rails as required.
3.4 Inspect
Conveyor
Clean the entire conveyor and remove any abrasive such as welding splatter, construction
debris, dirt or metal chips that are present on the conveyor frame or embedded in the
wear strips. If wear strips are damaged or embedded with debris, replace them as
necessary.
Minor or moderate injury will or could occur
All machinery must be turned off and locked out, prior to chain installation, inspection,
maintenance or removal.
Care should be used when handling the chain to avoid crushed or pinched fingers. Keep
the chain under control at all time.
The chain can easily be twisted, causing permanent deformation. Make all chain
connections on the conveyor frame.
3.4.1 Installation-Chain
For side-flexing applications requiring lubrication, apply a light coating of mineral
oil or grease to the inside corner wear strips before installing chain.
If reinstalling used chain it is recommended to oil any roller base chain.
Tread the chain onto each conveyor in 10 ft sections as shipped from the factory
Be careful to avoid twisting and damaging the chain. Make all connections on the
frame at either the drive or idler sprockets locations.
Install chains hand tight. The catenary sag of each conveyor needs to be
checked later.

CAUTION
3.4.2 Installation- the Catenary Sag
The function of the catenary is to allow a place for excess chain to accumulate.
Rex® TableTop® chains should never be run tight.
The catenary sag should be measured when running with product.
If the catenary sag is excessive or increased due to normal wear, it should be
adjusted by removing links to obtain the proper sag.
3.4.3 Installation/Disassembly-Chain
Connect the chain/One piece Chains with Round Pins
To connect each 10 ft. section, start by positioning the connecting pin into either
one of the double eyes in the appropriate end link. Position the single eye of the
other end link between the double eyes. Then drive pin through the single eye
and into the adjacent double eye, using a drift punch and hammer, until
connecting pin is centered in the link.
Minor or moderate injury will or could occur
The chain should be hand tight when installed. Chain should never be over tensioned.
When installing the last section, separate the chain to required length using a drift
punch and hammer to drive appropriate connecting pin out of chain. Make final
connection to complete the chain loop.
3.4.4 Connect the chain / One Piece Chains with Style D Pins.
To connect each 10 ft. section, start by positioning the connection pin into either
one of the double eyes in the appropriate end link. Take care in positioning the
flat of the pin to match up with the flat on the link hole. Position the single eye of
the other end link between the double eyes. Then drive pin through the single eye
and into the adjacent double eye, using a drift punch and hammer, until
connecting pin is centered in the link. When installing the last section, separate
the chain to required length using a drift punch and hammer to drive appropriate
connecting pin out of chain. Make final connection to complete the chain loop.
3.4.5 Connect the chain/ One Piece Chains with Knurled Style Pins.
To connect each 10 ft. section, start by positioning the connecting pin into the
correct side of the chain.
Always smooth end of pin first. Position the links together then drive pin into the
hinge using a drift punch and hammer until connecting pin is recessed into the
link like adjacent pins.

•
Connect each 10 ft. section using the included connecting link. Position the male
portion of the connecting link through the corresponding end roller links of the two
sections which are being connected. Position the female portion of the connecting
link over the male portion. Ensure that the connecting link “flats” are in the down
position. Snap the white top plate in place over the extended pin ends to secure the
connecting link.
3.4.7 Connection style may vary by chain series.
•
To install the last section of chain, separate the chain to require length using a chain
breaker to push the appropriate connecting pins out of the roller base chain. Make
final connection to complete the chain loop.
•
For plastic two piece chains, white top plates are provided to aid in the location of
the connecting links in assembled chain loops. The connecting link may contain a
“flat” portion on the MO pin plate to aid in identification of the connecting link. While
866 chain is a two piece design, it contains a cotter pin and therefore, cotter pins
must be removed to disassemble the chain. This also means every link is a
connecting link.

Check sprocket alignment periodically and correct misalignment immediately. Wear on the
inside sidebars or on one side of a sprocket is a definite indication of misalignment. On
indexing Gear Motor drives or Gear Motor drives equipped with brakes, special attention
must be given to drive sprocket mountings to prevent them from becoming loose and
shifting. After the initial startup inspection, make a careful check at 100 hours and another
at 500 hours. Set up a periodic inspection schedule thereafter based on operating
conditions. Indexing and braking drives require more frequent inspection than
conventional drive. Most conveyor drive chains operate in a semi-protected condition: it is
good practice to remove them periodically for cleaning and re-lubrication. Tight chains are
just as harmful as loose chains. For correct chain tension, the deflection on the slack side
should measure 2% to 3% of the sprocket center distance. For sprocket realignment see
“Drive Chain” under installation.
6.1.4 Flat Top & Friction Top Chain
In many application, rapid build-up of grease, dirt, grit, sand, spilled syrup and beverage
can occur.
Some Tabletop applications require continuous lubrication. (i.e., Stainless Steel TopsRoller Based Chain, etc.) This is of the most importance on the thrust faces at the
entrance of conveyor turns. A lubrication system that provides continuous
and uniform lubrication is recommended. If lubrication is not acceptable or
compatible with the application, a short break in lubrication application is beneficial. The
service life of side flexing chains and wear strips can be improved if sliding surfaces are
lubricated with a light material oil prior to installation. In the case of side flexing roller
chain, the base chain should also be oiled prior to installation.
Oil Base Lubricants-these are vegetable oil or mineral oils, which offer levels of protection
and lubrication to exposed chain parts. These should be used whenever practical on all
metal chains.
Water soluble Lubricants and soaps- these are excellent lubricants with many desirable
properties. Since water is a conveying medium, they are primarily suited for chain having
corrosion resistant parts or those with corrosion resistant top plates.
Water can be used as a lubricant, however, it is not considered as effective. If water is
used on plastic chains sliding on stainless steel pans, then drag on the chain may be
increased. A thin film of water must constantly be sheared as the chain slides over the pan
and overcomes the surface tension. Soap helps to overcome friction.
Applying the lubricant directly to the chin thrust face, directly below the flight just as it
enters the turn, may lubricate side-flexing chains. The lubricant can be applied under
pressure directly to the chain surface. Running the chain through a pan of lubrication on
the return strand can also lubricate the chain. The lubricant can drip on the chain from an
overhead storage tank.

6.1.5 Bearing Lubrication
Many conveyors come equipped with permanently lubricated bearings, which have no
grease zerks. These include 2 and 3-Bolt Flange Bearings with shaft sizes through 77/16”. This prevents injecting improper or contaminated grease, and leaves the seals
tighter due to elimination of grease purging. Lubricate other bearings regularly with
approved lubricants from the list below.
Avoid over lubrication, especially when shafts are not turning, as this can blow out the
seals and lead to contamination and failure of the bearing. Exercise extreme caution
around all moving equipment when working close to them, for lubrication. Proper intervals
of bearing lubrication depend on the speed, temperature and working conditions. In
normal applications of 16 hours a day or less, a three month interval is adequate (in clean
conditions). Lock off equipment before attempting to wipe or touch movable equipment of
any kind. Clean off grease zerk fittings before lubrication and wipe excess lube from the
shaft seals so you can observe the amount of newly expelled grease. Remember to
tighten the bearing set screws BI-annually while doing the greasing.
6.1.6 Acceptable lubricants include:
Socony Mobil Oil Company Armvac No. 781
Keystone Lubricant Company 84 H Light
Standard Oil Company of Indiana Stanolith No. 57
Sinclair Oil Company Litholene
Texas Oil Company Multi Fak No. 2
Mobil SHC-PM
6.1.7 Motor Maintenance
At regular intervals, check that the motor electrical connections are tight and not corroded.
Blow clean any open frame motors, and clean off any dust or debris so proper amounts of
heat may be radiated. If motors consistently become covered with debris, construct a
guard above the, which does not hinder heat radiation.
Lubricate any motors with grease fittings every two years unless conditions are extremely
dirty or damp. Lubricate any motors with sleeve bearings with 10- 15drops of SAE # 20
non-detergent or motor oil every year (more often if dirty or damp).
New motors are more efficient, but run at higher temperatures that you may be used to.
Do not become alarmed unless the ambient temperatures at your drive section are >104
o
F. At these high temperatures, normal motors may overheat at full loads, and special
high-temperature motors may be required.

6.1.8 Reducer Maintenance
Most conveyors come equipped with standard Gear Reducer made by Dodge Gear. This
is a trouble free reducer with normal applications and maintenance. To keep it that way,
make sure you know how to check it over, then do it regularly as shown below.
Try to keep the reducer sprocket installed as close to the reducer as possible to reduce
any overhung loads. Keep the reducer clean so it can dissipate excess heat better. All
mounting bolts should be tightened securely. Check the lube level regularly. Change the
lubricant every six months or 2500 hours, whichever comes first. Gearmotors require no
lubrication change under most conditions.

Inspect your reducer vent plug often to make sure it is clear and operating. It is the upper
plug on the reducer. The next lower plug is the level plug and the lowest plug is the drain
plug. The oil level should be kept at the bottom of the threaded hole of the level plug.
However, if the conveyor and reducer are inclined above horizontal, extra oil may be
required for optimum reducer life. Synthetic oil, if used, should not be intermixed with
regular oil.
