NB! The centre hopper is fitted before or after fitting the sweep conveyor's
centre outlet cross (A) depending on the type of silo floor.

! IMPORTANT!
The machine must have a distance of between 100-250 mm from the
silo wall

100-250 mm

Assembling the machine

! IMPORTANT!
Ensure the machine parts are assembled in a straight line and are not
twisted.
1-I.
Fit the drive end (A) in the centre outlet cross. The height (h) of the drive end
above the silo floor can be adjusted by adding shims (B1-B44) in sufficient
numbers on the top of the centre outlet cross (C1) centre plate (C2). The
remaining shims are fitted to the underside of the centre outlet cross.

1-II. Adjust the height of the support wheel (D) with the adjustable screws
(E1-E5).

! IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the drive end is horizontal across the short side.

Detach the parts (M1-3, N-0) and bolt unions in accordance with the
illustration. Slide in the adjustable intermediate section part (L1) the number
of mm in steps of 50 that the forward driving end shall be shortened by. Cut
the shims (M1-M3) and broom moulding (N) to the right length.

Assemble the chain lengths and position in the bottom plate and on the
upper level of the machine.
NB! Route the chain lengths over the chain sprockets, cut if necessary to the
correct length and then fully assemble the chain.

! IMPORTANT!
Ensure the conveyor chain is centred, runs freely and does not foul the
sides of the conveyor.

18 SKANDIA ELEVATOR – KTIS

7.
Tighten the conveyor chain with the tensioning bolts in the drive end.
NB! The tensioning bolts have self-locking fixed nuts inside the conveyor.

! IMPORTANT!
• Ensure the tail end shaft is at right angles to the conveyor chain.
• Ensure the conveyor chain is not tensioned too much.
The conveyor chain is too taut if it cannot be pulled sideways at the drive
wheel. Release the tension until it can be pulled slightly sideways.
Once assembly of the conveyor is complete, test run it for a while and then
check the tension once again..
A new conveyor chain must be run for a period and then readjusted.

! IMPORTANT!
Check the conveyor chain after 50 operating hours. See separate
maintenance instructions for information on maintenance.

Settings for the forward driving end/support wheel

Height setting for the forward driving end/support wheel

! IMPORTANT!
Adjust the height of the forward driving end/support wheel so that the
machine/sweep moulding is running horizontally along the silo floor.
Turn the height adjustment knob (A) clockwise in order to lower, or
anticlockwise to raise.

NB! Operate the machine (by hand) one revolution in the silo in order
to check that the height setting works for the whole silo floor. If there is
unevenness then the height setting may need to be adjusted slightly in
order that the forward driving and sweep effect should be as efficient as
possible throughout the silo. In some cases, the drive end's height may
also need to be adjusted, see the chapter "Assembling the machine".

II.
NB! The silo floor may have unevenness that is greater than the
compensation available in the machine's height setting options! A

Forward driving setting for the forward driving wheel

The forward driving wheel's tractive force can be increased/decreased if
required by tensioning/slackening the connecting rod's spring screws (B1-2).
If the forward driving wheel slips then the springs are tensioned too much. If
the machine does not drive forward then they are too loosely tensioned.
NB! Tension/slacken evenly across the spring screws.

 Assembly/location of
electrical connection components

Holes for fitting electrical connection components and routing-through of

cables are located on the drive end's frame plate (A).
NB! The instructions below are only assembly/positioning instructions and
not electrical connection instructions.

! WARNING!
• All electrical equipment is to be connected by a qualified electrician. See
separate connecting directions for electronics.
! IMPORTANT!
• Ensure that the cable coil (B) is long enough to be able to tension the
conveyor chain (pull the angle gear back towards the end of the drive
end).
• Avoid having loose hanging cables and protect them from moving parts.
• Ensure that all protectors for cables and electrical components are fitted.

Slip ring
NB! The cover (C) (for cable entry) must not be used when fitting the slip ring
(D).
