SECTION ONE: INTRALOX SYSTEMIn the early 1970โs, Intralox belts revolutionized the
conveyance of industrial and food products with a brand newstyle of belt: modular plastic conveyor belts.
Constructed of plastic modules and hinge rods, and drivenand tracked by plastic sprockets, Intralox belts have theinherent qualities plant operators and designers look for:
corrosion resistance, positive drives, high strength, lowerfriction characteristics and abrasion resistance.
In addition to these characteristics, Intralox belt designs helpkeep the plant cleaner, reduce downtime for maintenance andmake belt repairs a quicker, easier process.
Intralox, LLC has over 400 different combinations of beltstyles, materials and colors to choose from. Weโve beenhelping processors convey with better efficiency for more than
35 years.This manual will give you technical information about ourproducts and their uses. But, high quality belts and accessoriesare only part of the total package Intralox offers to customers.

All Intralox belts are constructed with injection-moldedplastic modules. These are assembled into interlocked unitsand joined by plastic hinge rods. Except for narrow belts (onecomplete module or less in width), all are built with the jointsbetween modules staggered with those of adjacent rows in aโbricklayedโ fashion. This structure interlocks the modules,giving the belt inherent lateral strength. The hinge rods do nothold the belt together from side to side, but act only as pivotmembers in shear. The belt that results from this constructionprocess is intrinsically strong, both laterally due to thebricklaying, and longitudinally due to the rods being placed inmultiple shear.
Because of modular construction, Intralox belts can be madein almost any width from three links wide.
Each belt style incorporates several distinguishing features.Hinge and edge features are described below. Surface, pitchand drive features are described in detail in โBelt Selection Processโ (page 5).
Fig. 1โ1 Bricklayed modules
OPEN HINGES โ The hinge rods are visible from either thetop or bottom surface (or both) of the belt to aid in beltinspection.
CLOSED HINGES โ The hinge rods are completelyenclosed to protect them from abrasives or contaminants.
FLUSH EDGES โ Flush edges ride snugly beside theconveyor frame rails without gaps or exposed rod heads. Theyreduce the possibility of product, or belt, snagging on theframe.
Intralox belts are positively driven by plastic or metalsprockets, not friction rollers. The sprockets, another part ofthe Intralox System, have square bores and are driven bymatching square shafts. (Note: Sprockets are available with
round bores for special applications.) Not only do square
shafts transmit torque (rotational force) without the need fortroublesome keys and keyways, they accommodate the lateralexpansion differences of the plastic belt material and the metalshafts. Only one sprocket per shaft is retained. The others areallowed to โfloatโ, moving along the shaft as the belt expandsor contracts. Thus, the sprockets are always transmittingtorque. Of all belt drive systems tested, the square shaft withsquare bore sprockets has proven to be the most effective,economical, reliable, trouble free and simple.
Intralox conveyor belts are available in a variety of styles,materials and colors, with many accessory options. In order tomake the appropriate selections when designing for aparticular application, reliable information about operatingand environmental conditions is critical.
Factors to evaluate include:
โข The type of belt system: straight running or sideflexingโข The overall dimensions of the installed belt: length between
driving and idling shafts, width, elevation changesโข The speed of belt travelโข The characteristics of the product to be conveyed:
1. density 2. unit size and shape3. hardness, toughness, brittleness, rigidity 4. texture (smooth, rough, granular, lumpy, spongy. . .)5. corrosiveness6. moisture content7. temperature
8. frictional natureโข Any process change in the product during conveyance:1. heating
2. cooling3. washing, rinsing, draining4. drying
โข The sanitary and cleanliness requirements and conditions:1. USDA-FSIS approval2. harsh temperatures or chemicals
3. continuous on-line cleaningโข The planned methods of product loading and removal โ
smooth or impact transfersโข The characteristics of the operating environment :
For more detailed information, see โSection three: Design guidelinesโ (page 375).
All Intralox belts can be used as straight running belts.Series 2200, Series 2400, Series 2600, Series 2700,Series 2800, Series 3000 and Series 4000 are designedfor sideflexing applications.
Intralox belts and accessories are available in standard andspecial application materials. For complete descriptions of thestandard and special application belt materials see, โStandardBelt Materialsโ (page 20) and โSpecial Application Belt Materialsโ (page 20).
Contact the Intralox Sales Engineering Department orCustomer Service for more information. Current telephone
numbers are listed on the back cover.For specific recommendations on chemical properties, see
โChemical Resistance Guideโ (page 413).
Next in the process of choosing the belt for your applicationis to determine the BELT SURFACE or STYLE best suitedfor the product or material being conveyed.
The PITCH of the belt is the next differentiating feature.Intralox belts are available in 0.50 in. (12.7 mm), 0.60 in.(15.2 mm), 1.00 in. (25.4 mm), 1.07 in. (27.2 mm), 1.25 in.(31.8 mm), 1.44 in. (36.6 mm), 1.50 in. (38.1 mm), 2.00 in.(50.8 mm), 2.07 in. (52.6 mm) and 2.50 in. (63.5 mm) pitches.Smaller pitch reduces chordal action (over similar sizesprockets) and the space required for product transfer.
DRIVE METHOD should also be considered. There are twodrive methods used by Intralox: hinge-driven and center-driven. Where back tension is an important consideration,drive method plays a significant role.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, the belts have fully flushedges.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
BELT SELECTION PROCESS
STEP ONE: Choose the right type of BELT SYSTEM โ straight running or sideflexing.
STEP TWO: Choose the right MATERIAL for yourapplication.
STEP THREE: Select the best belt surface, pitch anddrive method.
After choosing the material and surface style to meet yourneeds, next determine if the belt selected is strong enough tomeet your application requirements.
Analysis for straight running belts:
After making a tentative selection from the Series and Styleslisted above, turn to the โBelt Selection Instructionsโ (page 43),Product Line, for instructions to determine the Belt Pull
and Adjusted Belt Pull for comparison with the Allowable
Strength for that belt. In order to make the necessarycalculations for Belt Pull, gather this information:1. the product weight applied to the belt, in pounds per square
foot (or kilograms per square meter),2. the length of the proposed conveyor, in feet (or meters),3. any elevation changes in the conveyor, in feet (or meters),4. the desired operating speed, in feet per minute (or meters
per minute),5. the percent of belt area โbacked-upโ with stationary
product,6. the maximum operating temperature to be experienced by
the belt, in degrees Fahrenheit (or degrees Celsius),7. the type of material upon which the belt will run in the
conveyor frame, e.g., Stainless or Carbon Steel, Ultra HighMolecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW), High DensityPolyethylene (HDPE), nylon, etc., and
8. the Service Duty, i.e., frequent start-ups under heavyload, an elevating or โpushing conveyorโ, etc.
Analysis for sideflexing belts:
These belts require a more complex analysis. The following
additional information is required:9. the length of each straight run,10.the turning angle and direction of each turn, and11.the inside turning radius, measured from the inside edge of
the belt.
The following factors should be considered beforeproceeding any further with belt selection.
ROD MATERIAL
Each Belt style and material is presented with a standard rodmaterial; however, other rod materials are available and shouldbe evaluated based on your application. Contact CustomerService for more information.
BELT SPEED
The belt speed affects the wear and life expectancy in theseways:1. Hinge and sprocket wear: The frequency of module
rotation about the hinge rods (as the belt engages anddisengages the sprockets) is directly proportional to speed.The rotary motion can cause wear to both rods andmodules. This wear rate, however, is inversely proportional
to the beltโs length, i.e., a shorter conveyor should wearfaster than a longer one if both are running at the samespeed. It follows that sprocket/tooth wear is directlyproportional to speed. Sprockets with more teeth cause lessmodule/hinge rotation, consequently less wear thansprockets with fewer teeth.
2. Belt surface wear: As belts slide over carryways,returnways, shoes and other fixed members, some wear is tobe expected. The most destructive conditions are highspeed, heavy loads, abrasive materials, and dry or nonlubricated operation.
3. Dynamic effects of high speed operation: Twoeffects of high speed conditions are belt โwhippingโ oroscillating in unsupported sections and โload surgesโ asheavy, stationary products are suddenly accelerated to beltspeed. Where possible, both conditions should be avoided.
ABRASIVE CONDITIONS AND FRICTION EFFECTS
Abrasives in a conveying application must be identified, thebest combination of materials chosen and protective featuresincluded in order to extend belt life. Abrasives will wear away
any material, but the correct material choice can significantlyincrease belt life. In highly abrasive applications, the hingerods and sprockets are usually the first elements to be affected.Hinge rod wear typically results in excessive belt-pitchelongation. This may prevent proper tooth engagement,increasing the wear on sprocket teeth. Intralox offers StainlessSteel split sprockets and Abrasion Resistant rods that work toincrease belt life.
CHORDAL ACTION AND SPROCKET SELECTION
As the modules of belts engage their driving sprockets, apulsation in the beltโs linear velocity occurs. This is due to
chordal action, which is the rise and fall of a module as itrotates around a shaftโs center line. It is characteristic of allsprocket-driven belts and chains. The variation in speed isinversely proportional to the number of teeth on the sprocket.For example, a belt driven by a six tooth sprocket has apulsating speed variation of 13.4%, while a belt driven by a 19tooth sprocket has a variation of only 1.36%. In thoseapplications, where product tipping is a concern, or wheresmooth, even speed is critical , it is recommended thatsprockets with the maximum number of teeth available beselected.
STEP FOUR: Select a belt of sufficient STRENGTH foryour application.
Intralox, LLC USA can supply square shafts, machined toyour specification, in standard sizes of 5/8 in., 1 in., 1.5 in.,2.5 in., 3.5 in., 40 mm and 60 mm. Available materials areCarbon Steel (C-1018) (not available in 40mm and 60mm),Stainless Steel (303, 304 and 316) and Aluminium (6061-T6).Call Customer Service for availability and lead-times.
Intralox, LLC Europe offers square shafts in standard sizes of25 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm and 90 mm. Availablematerials are Carbon Steel (KG-37) and Stainless Steel (304).
Square shafts need turning of bearing journals only. Nokeyways for sprockets are required. Only one sprocket per shaftmust be retained to prevent lateral belt movement and to provide positive tracking . This is usually done by placing
retainer rings on opposite sides of the center sprocket.Standard rings rest in grooves cut into the four corners of theshaft. Self-set retainer rings and small bore round retainerrings are available which do not require grooves.
SHAFT STRENGTH
The two primary concerns regarding the strength of theconveyor drive shafts are 1) the ability to pull the belt withoutexcessive shaft deflection, and 2) the strength to transmit thetorque for driving the belt. In the first case, the shaft acts as a
beam, supported by bearings and stressed by the beltโs tensionthrough the sprockets. In the second case, the shaft is beingrotated by the drive motor. Resistance from the beltโs tensionintroduces torsional (twisting) stresses. These two types ofstresses, maximum deflection and maximum allowabletorque, are analyzed separately. Simple formulas are providedfor selecting appropriate shafts.
Maximum deflection is governed by adequate belt andsprocket tooth engagement. If the shaft deflects more than0.10 in. (2.5 mm) the sprockets may not engage properly,resulting in โjumpingโ. On bi-directional conveyors withcenter-drive, the limit is increased to 0.22 in. (5.6 mm) becausethe return side tension is greater and the tooth loading is moreuniformly distributed.
WEARSTRIPS
Wearstrips are added to a conveyor frame to increase theuseful life of the conveyor frame and belt, and to reduce thesliding friction forces. Proper choice of wearstrip design andmaterial, yielding the best coefficient of friction, reduces beltand frame wear, and power requirements.
Any clean liquid, such as oil or water, will act as a coolant andas a separation film between the belt and the carryway, usuallyreducing the coefficient of friction. Abrasives such as salt,broken glass, soil and vegetable fibers will embed in softermaterials and wear on harder materials. In such applicationsharder wearstrips will prolong belt life.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
Plastic belting may produce a static discharge or spark whenused in a dry environment. If static electricity is a potentialproblem in your application, electrical grounding isrecommended. Lubricating or adding moisture to the
conveyor running surfaces is also recommended. ElectricallyConductive Acetal is available in some belt styles. Contact theIntralox Sales Engineering Department for additionalrecommendations.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY is the ratio of the materialsโ density tothe density of water at normal pressures and temperatures. Aspecific gravity greater than 1.0 indicates that the material isheavier than water, and a specific gravity less than 1.0 indicatesthe material will be buoyant in water.
FRICTION FACTORS determine the amount of draginduced from the belt sliding on the conveyor frame or slidingunder the conveyed product. Lower friction factors lead tolower line pressures, less product marring, and lower belt pulland power requirements. Sometimes higher friction isrequired for gradual inclines/declines or for higher linepressures for feeding other equipment. The friction factorsgenerally refer to โcleanโ systems, with little wear or abrasivematerial present. When running a conveyor belt strengthanalysis (either by using the Intralox Engineering Program orby using the hand calculations outlined in โBelt Selection Instructionsโ (page 43)), normal practice would dictate using ahigher friction factor than normal if any abrasive medium ispresent, such as flour, sand, cardboard dust, glass, etc. Under
very dirty conditions, friction factors may be two to three timeshigher than under clean conditions.
TEMPERATURE has an effect on the physical properties ofthermoplastic materials. Generally, as the operatingtemperature increases, the belt will weaken in strength, butbecome tougher and more impact resistant. Conversely, incolder applications, belts can become stiffer and in some casesbrittle. The temperature factor curve shows the effect oftemperature on belt strength, and this graph can be used incalculating the conveyor belt analysis by hand. The Intralox
Engineering Program calculates the temperature factorautomatically, based on the operating temperature of theapplication. For a complete listing of temperature factors (T),please refer to โTable 7 (T) TEMPERATURE FACTORโ
The chart below lists the available materials for each beltstyle. It should be noted that not all combinations of styles andmaterials are inventory items. Not all styles and materialcombinations are USDA-FSIS accepted (Meat and Poultry, orDairy). For USDA-FSIS acceptance, both the belt style and the
material must be approved. As an example, Series 900Flush Grid in polypropylene is USDA-FSIS accepted fordirect food contact, but Series 900 Flush Grid in EC Acetal(not a FDA or UDSA-FSIS accepted material) is not USDA-FSIS accepted.

p from BELT DATA page of the belt styleyou are considering. If products are not backed up on belt,ignore Mp.
Since the belt may experience a variety of conditions, the BP
should be adjusted by applying an appropriate SERVICEFACTOR, SF.
Determine SF:
The ADJUSTED BELT PULL, ABP, is determined by:
For Bi-Directional and Pusher Conveyors:
The ALLOWABLE BELT STRENGTH may, because ofspecific operating conditions, be less than the RATED BELTSTRENGTH shown on the BELT DATA page. Therefore,the ABS should be calculated from:
If the ABS exceeds ABP, this belt is strong enough for yourapplication. You should proceed to the next steps to determineDRIVE SHAFT SPROCKET SPACING, SHAFT STRENGTH
and HORSEPOWER REQUIRED.If the ABS is less than ABP and you are able to change someparameters of your application (i.e., product load distributionor belt speed), the recalculated ABP may become acceptable.
The percentage of ALLOWABLE BELT STRENGTHUTILIZED, ABSU, is determined by:
Using the ABSU, find the maximum sprocket spacing fromthe graph on the SPROCKET DATA page of the Series you areconsidering. The spacing of sprockets on idler shafts may,under some circumstances, be greater than drive spacing, butshould never exceed 6.0 in. (152 mm) for all Series (exceptSeries 200 where maximum spacing should never exceed 7.5in. [191 mm]).
If the calculated ABSU is above 75%, please contact IntraloxCustomer Service Sales Engineering to run the IntraloxEngineering Program and verify your results.
BELT SELECTION INSTRUCTIONS
To determine if this belt is suitable for your application, its OPERATING LOAD versus OPERATING STRENGTH must be
known. The following steps will assist you in making the necessary calculations for this comparison:
STEP 1: CALCULATE THE BELTโS TENSION LOADOR BELT PULL, BP, lb/ft (kg/m)
BP = [(M + 2W) ร Fw + Mp] ร L + (M ร H)
where:M = Product Loading, lb/ft2 (kg/m2)
W = Belt Weight, lb/ft2 (kg/m2) (found on BELT DATA
page)L = Length of Conveyor, ft. (m), CL to CLH = Elevation Change of Conveyor, ft. (m)Fw = Wearstrip to Belt Friction Coefficient
Mp = M ร (Fp ร % Belt Backed-Up), loading due to backed
up product
STEP 2: ADJUST THE CALCULATED BP FORSPECIFIC SERVICE CONDITIONS
SERVICE FACTOR (SF)
Starts under no load, with load applied gradually 1.0
Frequent starts under load
(more than once per hour) ADD 0.2
At speeds greater than
100 FPM (Feet Per Minute) (30 meters/min) ADD 0.2
Elevating Conveyors ADD 0.4
Pusher Conveyors ADD 0.2
TOTAL
Note: At speeds greater than 50 FPM (15 meters/min) on conveyors
that are started with backed-up lines, soft start motors should be
considered.
ABP = BP ร SF
ABP = BP ร SF ร 2.2where:ABP= ADJUSTED BELT PULL, lb/ft (kg/m) of belt
width
STEP 3: CALCULATE ALLOWABLE BELT
STRENGTH, ABS lb/ft (kg/m) of belt width
ABS = BS ร T ร S
where:
BS = BELT STRENGTH from BELT DATA page.
T = TEMPERATURE FACTOR from page 24.
S = STRENGTH FACTOR from BELT DATA page.The STRENGTH FACTOR is found at theintersection of the SPEED/LENGTH RATIO and
the appropriate sprocket line. To get the SPEED/LENGTH RATIO, divide the belt speed (ft/min) bythe shaft CL distance (ft). The STRENGTHFACTOR adjusts the belt rating to account for wearcaused by the combination of high speed, shortconveyor lengths and small sprocket sizes.
STEP 4: COMPARE ABP WITH ABS
STEP 5: DETERMINE MAXIMUM SPACING OFDRIVE SHAFT SPROCKETS
Drive shafts must be stiff enough to resist excessive bendingor deflecting under the beltโs pull and strong enough totransmit the required torque from the driver. Therefore, boththe DRIVE SHAFT DEFLECTION and TORQUE must bedetermined to insure an adequate shaft selection.
Select a shaft size which fits your sprocket of choice from theSPROCKET DATA page.
Note: Most sprockets have more than one available boresize.
The shaft deflects under the combined loads of theADJUSTED BELT PULL and its own WEIGHT. TheTOTAL SHAFT LOAD, w, is found from:
For shafts supported by two bearings, the DEFLECTION, D,is calculated from:
If the calculated deflection is less than the recommendedmaximum of 0.10 in. (2.5 mm) for standard conveyors or 0.22in. (5.6 mm) for bi-directional units, calculate the requiredTORQUE. If not, use a larger size shaft, a stronger material ora shorter span between bearings, and recalculate thedeflection.
The TORQUE, To, to be transmitted is determined from:
Now compare To with the โTable 9 MAXIMUM
RECOMMENDED TORQUE ON DRIVE SHAFTโ (page 409),for shaft journal sizes shown. Using a journal diameter whichcan be machined on the shaft selected, determine its maximumrecommended torque. This value should exceed To. If not, trya stronger material or larger shaft.
DRIVE HORSEPOWER, HP, is found from:
POWER in WATTS is found from:
To obtain the required motor power you should addexpected power losses in the drive train between drive shaftand motor to the calculated POWER. See โSectionthree: Design guidelinesโ (page 375), for recommendations.
Having determined the suitability of this belt, the sprocketspacing, the drive shaft size and the power requirements, youare now ready to select ACCESSORIES and to design theconveyor assembly.

Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying
clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap to
occur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

Note: Eliminates product transfer and tipping problems. The 18 fingers extend
between the beltโs ribs allowing a smooth continuation of the product flow as
the belt engages its sprockets.
Note: Easily installed on the conveyor frame with the shoulder bolts supplied.Caps snap easily into place over the bolts, keeping foreign materials out of the
slots.
Note: The Finger Transfer Plates for Series 400 are the same for Series 1200.
Note: Plates provide high strength fingers combined with a low friction back
plate.
Note: Low-friction back plate is permanently attached to the two high-strength
finger inserts.Note: Eliminates product transfer and tipping problems. The 18 fingers extend
between the beltโs ribs allowing a smooth continuation of the product flow as
the belt engages its sprockets.
Note: Plastic shoulder bolts and bolt covers are included for installing the
standard two-material FTPs.
Note: Mounting hardware for the Glass Handling two-material FTPs is sold
separately and consists of stainless steel oval washers and bolts, which give
more secure fastening for the tough glass applications.
Note: The Finger Transfer Plates for Series 400 are the same for Series 1200.
Note: Available in three different configurations:
Standard - long fingers with a short back plate.
Standard Extended Back - long fingers with an extended back plate
Glass Handling -
- Short fingers with extended back plate- Short fingers/short back (Contact Customer Service for lead times.)
- Mid-Length Fingers/short back
- Mid-Length Fingers/extended back
The long fingers provide good support for unstable products like PET containers and cans. The short fingers are sturdy enough for even the harshest
broken glass applications. These fingers are designed to resist breaking, but if confronted with deeply embedded glass, the individual fingers will yield
and break off, preventing costly belt or frame damage. The short back plate has two attachment slots and the extended back plate has three
attachment slots.
Note: The 10.1 in. (257 mm) PD, 16 tooth sprockets are recommended to be used with the Glass Handling finger transfer plates for best product
transfer.
Note: Intralox also offers a single-material polypropylene standard finger transfer plate for better chemical resistance. Mounting hardware for this FTP
includes plastic shoulder bolts and snap-cap bolt covers.

Note: The Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System consists of a finger transfer
plate and a transfer edge belt that are designed to work together. This system
eliminates the need for a sweeper bar, a pusher arm, or wide transfer plates.
Transfers are smooth and 100% self-clearing, making right angle transfers
possible for all container types. The Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System is
ideal for warmer/cooler applications with frequent product changeovers and is
compatible with any series and style of Intralox belt on the discharge and
infeed conveyors. This system is bi-directional allowing the same transfer belt
to be used for both left-hand and right-hand transfers.
Note: Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System is capable of transferring product to and from Intralox Series 400, Series 1200 and Series 1900 Raised
Rib belts.
Note: Smooth, flat top surface provides excellent lateral movement of containers.
Note: Robust design for durability in tough glass applications.
Note: Finger Transfer Plates are easily installed and secured to mounting plates of any thickness with stainless steel bolts and oval washers that allow
movement with the beltโs expansion and contraction.
Note: Stainless steel hardware is sold separately.
Note: Self-Clearing Transfer Edge Belt is molded with robust tracking tabs for belt support in heavy side-loading conditions. It has fully flush edges,
headed rod retention system and nylon rods for superior wear resistance.

Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.

Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying
clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.

Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip of
the dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of the
dead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount of
gap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
Dead Plate Gap

above the belt surface for product transfer onto the belt, and 0.031 in.
(0.8 mm) below the belt surface for product transfer off the belt.

Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount of
gap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
Dead Plate Gap
1 - Top surface of dead plate 2 - Dead plate gap
Note: The top surface of the dead plate is typically 0.031 in. (0.8 mm)
above the belt surface for product transfer onto the belt, and 0.031 in.
(0.8 mm) below the belt surface for product transfer off the belt.

Note: Plates provide high strength fingers combined with a low friction back
plate.
Note: Low-friction back plate is permanently attached to the two high-strength
finger inserts.Note: Eliminates product transfer and tipping problems. The 18 fingers extend
between the beltโs ribs allowing a smooth continuation of the product flow as
the belt engages its sprockets.
Note: Plastic shoulder bolts and bolt covers are included for installing the
standard two-material FTPs.
Note: Mounting hardware for the Glass Handling two-material FTPs is sold
separately and consists of stainless steel oval washers and bolts, which give
more secure fastening for the tough glass applications.
Note: The Finger Transfer Plates for Series 400 are the same for Series 1200.
Note: Available in three different configurations:
Standard - long fingers with a short back plate.
Standard Extended Back - long fingers with an extended back plate
Glass Handling -
- Short fingers with extended back plate- Short fingers/short back (Contact Customer Service for lead times.)
- Mid-Length fingers/short back
- Mid-Length fingers/extended back
The long fingers provide good support for unstable products like PET containers and cans. The short fingers are sturdy enough for even the harshest
broken glass applications. These fingers are designed to resist breaking, but if confronted with deeply embedded glass, the individual fingers will yield
and break off, preventing costly belt or frame damage. The short back plate has two attachment slots and the extended back plate has three
attachment slots.
Note: The 10.2 in. (259 mm) PD, 22 tooth sprockets are recommended to be used with the Glass Handling finger transfer plates for best product
transfer.
Note: Intralox also offers a single-material polypropylene standard finger transfer plate for better chemical resistance. Mounting hardware for this FTP
includes plastic shoulder bolts and snap-cap bolt covers.
Note: The Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System consists of a finger transfer
plate and a transfer edge belt that are designed to work together. This system
eliminates the need for a sweeper bar, a pusher arm, or wide transfer plates.
Transfers are smooth and 100% self-clearing, making right angle transfers
possible for all container types. The Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System is
ideal for warmer/cooler applications with frequent product changeovers and is
compatible with any series and style of Intralox belt on the discharge and
infeed conveyors. This system is bi-directional allowing the same transfer belt
to be used for both left-hand and right-hand transfers.
Note: Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System is capable of transferring product to and from Intralox Series 400, Series 1200 and Series 1900 RaisedRib belts.
Note: Smooth, flat top surface provides excellent lateral movement of containers.
Note: Robust design for durability in tough glass applications.
Note: Finger Transfer Plates are easily installed and secured to mounting plates of any thickness with stainless steel bolts and oval washers that allow
movement with the beltโs expansion and contraction.
Note: Stainless steel hardware is sold separately.
Note: Self-Clearing Transfer Edge Belt is molded with robust tracking tabs for belt support in heavy side-loading conditions. It has fully flush edges,
headed rod retention system and nylon rods for superior wear resistance.

Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount of
gap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
Dead Plate Gap
1 - Top surface of dead plate 2 - Dead plate gap
Note: The top surface of the dead plate is typically 0.031 in. (0.8 mm)
above the belt surface for product transfer onto the belt, and 0.031 in.
(0.8 mm) below the belt surface for product transfer off the belt.
โข Always check with Customer Service for precise belt measurements and stockstatus before designing a conveyor or ordering a belt.

Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount of
gap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

a. Contact Customer Service for lead times. When using Polyurethane sprockets, the Belt Strength for belts rated over 500 lb/ft (744 kg/m) will be de-rated to500 lb/ft (744 kg/m) and all other belts will maintain their published rating. The temperature range for Polyurethane sprockets is 0ยฐF (-18 ยฐC) to 120 ยฐF (49 ยฐC) .Contact Customer Service for availability of Polyurethane sprockets.
b. Imperial key sizes on round bore sprockets conform to ANSI standard B17.1-1967 (R1989) and metric key sizes conform to DIN standard 6885.
Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without finger
transfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying
clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

Note: The Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System consists of a finger transfer
plate and a transfer edge belt that are designed to work together. This system
eliminates the need for a sweeper bar, a pusher arm, or wide transfer plates.
Transfers are smooth and 100% self-clearing, making right angle transferspossible for all container types. The Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System is
ideal for warmer/cooler applications with frequent product changeovers and is
compatible with any series and style of Intralox belt on the discharge and
infeed conveyors. This system is bi-directional allowing the same transfer belt
to be used for both left-hand and right-hand transfers.
Note: Self-Clearing Finger Transfer System is capable of transferring product to and from Intralox Series 400, Series 1200 and Series 1900 Raised
Rib belts.
Note: Smooth, flat top surface provides excellent lateral movement of containers.
Note: Robust design for durability in tough glass applications.
Note: Finger Transfer Plates are easily installed and secured to mounting plates of any thickness with stainless steel bolts and oval washers that allow
movement with the beltโs expansion and contraction.
Note: Stainless steel hardware is sold separately.
Note: Self-Clearing Transfer Edge Belt is molded with robust tracking tabs for belt support in heavy side-loading conditions. It has fully flush edges,
headed rod retention system and nylon rods for superior wear resistance.a. Licensed under Rexnord U.S. Patent Nos. 7,314,130 and 7,448,490

Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules to
move past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

Sprocket Spacing as a Function of Belt Strength Utilized
Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.Conveyor frame dimensions are established using the top of
the roller as the top of the belt and the bottom of the module asthe bottom of the belt. โBโ dimension is based on a 0.5 in. (12.7mm) thick carryway.
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without finger
transfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying
clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
โข Always check with Customer Service for precise belt width
measurement and stock status before designing a
conveyor or ordering a belt.

Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.

SERIES 2200 RADIUS FLUSH GRID, RADIUS WITH EDGE BEARING
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount of
gap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
Dead Plate Gap
1 - Top surface of dead plate 2 - Dead plate gap
Note: The top surface of the dead plate is typically 0.031 in. (0.8 mm)
above the belt surface for product transfer onto the belt, and 0.031 in.
(0.8 mm) below the belt surface for product transfer off the belt.
Intralox recommends using continuous hold down railsthrough an entire turn, starting at a distance of 1X the beltwidth before the turn and ending 1X the belt width after theturn. This applies to both carryway and returnway. The use of
hold down rails along both side of the belt over the fullcarryway is recommended but not mandatory.
Series 2200 is available with and without an edge tab. Awearstrip style is available for each edge style. The tab edgedesign allows the belt to be held down without the wearstripinterfering with the carryway surface. See โCustom wearstripsโ (page 368).

SERIES 2400 RADIUS FLUSH GRID - STRAIGHT EDGE, HOLD DOWN GUIDES
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying
clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
Intralox recommends using continuous hold down railsthrough an entire turn, starting at a distance of 1X the beltwidth before the turn and ending 1X the belt width after theturn. This applies to both carryway and returnway. The use of
hold down rails along both side of the belt over the fullcarryway is recommended but not mandatory.
The hold down guide design allows the belt to be held downwithout the wearstrip interfering with the carryway surface(for design guidelines regarding Series 2400 with hold downguides, contact Technical Support Group). See โCustomwearstripsโ (page 368).

and stock status before designing a conveyor or ordering a belt.
โข Designed for low-tension, capstan drive spiral applications with a minimum
turning radius of 1.0 times the belt width (measured from inside edge).
โข The Intralox Spiral Program will help predict the strength requirements of
most low-tension, capstan drive spiral applications, insuring that the belt is
strong enough for the application. Contact our Technical Support Group for
more information.โข Lightweight, relatively strong belt with smooth surface grid.
โข Minimum sprocket indent from the inside (collapsed) edge of the spiral is

WARNING: Personnel must not place their fingers in or on this belt. Fingers
can get trapped in the openings of this belt, resulting in personal injury. This
belt also has pinch points which result from the spreading and collapsing of
the belt as it flexes to follow the conveyor path. These pinch points can trap
fingers, hair or clothing, and can cause personal injury. Personnel should
also be instructed not to wear loose fitting clothing, loose fitting gloves or
hand/finger jewelry when working near this belt. Call Customer Service for

Sprocket Spacing as a Function of Belt Strength Utilized
Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap between
the surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion which
may present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

Intralox recommends using continuous hold down railsthrough an entire turn, starting at a distance of 1X the beltwidth before the turn and ending 1X the belt width after the
turn. This applies to both carryway and returnway. The use ofhold down rails along both side of the belt over the fullcarryway is recommended but not mandatory. See โCustomwearstripsโ (page 368).

WARNING: Personnel must not place their fingers in or on this belt. Fingers
can get trapped in the openings of this belt, resulting in personal injury. This
belt also has pinch points which result from the spreading and collapsing of
the belt as it flexes to follow the conveyor path. These pinch points can trap
fingers, hair or clothing, and can cause personal injury. Personnel should
also be instructed not to wear loose fitting clothing, loose fitting gloves or
hand/finger jewelry when working near this belt. Call Customer Service for

a. If your belt width exceeds a number listed in the table, please refer to the sprocket and support material minimums for the next larger width range listed. Beltsare available in 1.00 in. (25.4 mm) increments beginning with minimum width of 24 in. (609.6 mm). If the actual width is critical, consult Customer Service.
b. These are the minimum number of sprockets. Additional sprockets may be required for heavily loaded applications.
S Strength Factor
SPEED/LENGTH RATIO (V/L)
V = ft/min (m/min) Divide belt speed โVโ by the shaft CL distance โLโ. Strength
Factor is found at intersection of speed/length ratio andappropriate sprocket line. See page 43 for more information.
T = number of teeth
L = ft (m)
Sprocket Spacing as a Function of Belt Strength Utilized
Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules to
move past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.

Intralox recommends using continuous hold down railsthrough an entire turn, starting at a distance of 1X the beltwidth before the turn and ending 1X the belt width after the
turn. This applies to both carryway and returnway. The use ofhold down rails along both side of the belt over the fullcarryway is recommended but not mandatory. See โCustomwearstripsโ (page 368).

Hold down edge guides aremandatory on the inside and outside edges of all turns, onboth the carrying and return sides of the belt. Unless theyinterfere with the operation of the carrying equipment, the
hold down edge guides should be used throughout theconveyor to protect both the belt and personnel adjacentto the conveyor.

Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ and โEโ listed belowshould be implemented in any design.
For general applications and applications where end transferof tip-sensitive product is not critical, use the โAโ dimension at
the bottom of the range.
Conveyor Frame Dimensions
A - ยฑ0.031โ (1 mm) C - ยฑ (Max)
B - ยฑ0.125โ (3 mm) E - ยฑ (Min)
Complete descriptions of the dimensions are listed on page 375.
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying
clearances. The table below shows the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
After the stock is cut to length, the raw shaft is precisionstraightened. The bearing journals are turned, followed by thecutting of retainer ring grooves, keyways and chamfers*. The
final step is a thorough, quality control inspection beforeshipping. Contact Customer service for a form to fill inspecifying shaft dimensions.
*If the shaft is to operate under high belt loads, retainer ringgrooves are not recommended. Self-set or split heavy-dutyretainer type rings are recommended in these cases. Contactthe Technical Support Group for retainer ringrecommendations.

Scrolls from Intralox may be used in applications where thedrive end shaft and sprockets must be kept clean. The curved,flighted surfaces of the scroll direct debris away from the beltcenter, toward the edges, where it can fall harmlessly to thefloor or receptacle.
Intralox offers scrolls in two nominal diameters: 6 in.
(152 mm) and 9 in. (229 mm). Flight pitch, the axial distancefor the flight to sweep through a full circle, is also 6 in.(152 mm) and 9 in. (229 mm), respectively. Since the scroll isalso supporting the idle end of the belt, each nominal diameterhas an associated minimum scroll length to insure proper beltsupport. For very narrow belts, or for extra support, a double-flighted scroll is available. All scrolls are mounted on a 2.5 in.(63.5 mm) diameter round shaft. Maximum journal diameteris 2.5 in. (63.5 mm) and minimum journal length is 2 in.(50.8 mm).
Intralox scrolls are offered in carbon and stainless steelmaterials. Carbon steel scrolls are treated and painted forprotection. All scrolls have a thick section of UHMWwearstrip attached to the flight edges. Stainless steel scrollswith a polished weld bead are available for USDA-FSISapplications.
Scrolls from Intralox may be used in applications whereexcessive amounts of debris may hamper the performance ofsprockets or possibly damage the belt.
Position the scroll idler assembly in the conveyor frame sothe "V" at the center of the scroll (where the left and right

Accumulation tables are most often used in the beverageindustry, allowing upstream production machinery to operatecontinuously and economically in the event that somedownstream machinery stops the flow of the product. Thesetables act as a buffer to absorb the product overflow until thedownstream problem is rectified. The principal function of a
pusher bar is to move the last few rows of product off theaccumulation table, past the dead plate area and onto theprimary conveyor lines. Pusher bars rest on the accumulationtable, which must use a Raised Rib style belt (Series 100, 400
and 900).
Fig. 2โ21 Pusher bar side view
The bar is a 2.5 in. (63.5 mm) square stainless or carbon steelshaft which rides in a number of slotted UHMW guide shoes.The shoes are slotted on the bottom to mesh with the ribs ofthe belt and keep the bar aligned, perpendicular to the
direction of belt travel. The shoes bear the entire weight of thepusher bar, so it is recommended that wearstrips be placed tosupport the belt directly under the shoes.
The blade of the pusher bar actually does the pushing. It canbe specified in 24 in. (610 mm) to 120 in. (3.05 m) lengths andconsists of a rigid steel bar capped with UHMW wearstrip, soas not to mar or damage the product. The blade is set off fromthe weighted shaft by threaded steel rods, making the amountof offset adjustable to individual needs.
A dual blade pusher bar is also available for tall or
contoured products. The upper blade of this configuration isadjustable up and down and can be extended past or retractedfurther back from the lower blade.
Adjustment of the pusher bar is dependent upon: 1)placement of the device which limits the pusher barโs forwardtravel, and 2) dimensions of the product being conveyed.Standard offset is approximately equal to the length of thefinger plate to be used: 5.75 in. (146 mm) for Series 100, 7.5in. (191 mm) for Series 400 and 6.5 in. (165 mm) for Series900.

Compatible with most conveyors, Intraloxโs new EZ Clean InPlace (CIP) System cleans belts quickly, effectively, andconsistently while minimizing water usage.
Intraloxโs new EZ Clean In Place System features a spray baroptimally located to increase and expedite debris removal, plusa custom-engineered spray pattern designed to thoroughly
clean the belt underside, sprockets, and shaft. The systemmounts within the conveyor frame behind the conveyor shaftand sprays the belt at 3 separate locations. Fan nozzles spraythrough the open belt hinges below and above the shaft as thebelt travels around the sprockets. High impact nozzles spraythe belt underside along the belt drive bars to maximize thedebris channeling effect built into Intraloxโs EZ Clean belts.Cleaning is further opimized when used in conjunction withAngled EZ Clean sprockets.
The CIP can be installed on drive or idle end (drivepreferred). It is made of 303/304 stainless steel, with highlypolished surfaces. The minimum water pressure
recommended is 150 PSI.
Hold down roller assemblies can be used in place of holddown shoes or rails on wide elevating conveyors. On typicalelevating conveyors, the flights have a notch in the center ofthe belt so that a hold down rail or shoe can be used to keep thebelt on the conveyor frame. Product loss or damage from theseshoes is an inevitable side effect.
Standard roller assemblies have a bracket made of acetal,with polypropylene rollers and rods, and are available for thefollowing belt styles:
Hold down roller assemblies are built securely into theunderside of the belt, held in place by the beltโs hinge rods. Therollers ride in tracks that anchor the belt in position as it entersthe incline of the conveyor. These assemblies can also be used
in place of traditional hold down rails or shoes on the side ofthe conveyor.Hold down rollers can be placed as frequently as every other
belt row, a minimum of 4 in. (102 mm) apart to arecommended maximum of 24 in. (610 mm) apart. Normally,8 in. (203 mm) spacing, every fourth row is sufficient. Sprocket
size is limited by the rollers protruding from the bottomsurface of the belt. In order to keep the rollers from cominginto contact with the shaft, when using a 1.5 in. (or 40 mm)square shaft, the minimum allowable sprocket pitch diameteris 6.4 in. (163 mm). When using a 2.5 in. (or 60 mm) shaft, theminimum sprocket pitch diameter allowable is 7.7 in.
(196 mm). Refer to โSection three: Design guidelinesโ (page 375), for more detailed information.

FOR CREATING NEW DRIVE AND IDLE ENDS:
Powered roller conveyorretrofits may requirerelocation of the drive unit.Intralox simplifies this workwith the EZ Roller Retrofit
Drop-In Drive and IdlerComponents. These pre-assembled units are custom-madefor your conveyors. Each includes a shaft, bearings, sprockets,and snub roller in a stainless steel frame which simply drops inand bolts down. Each drive/idle pair can save up to 10 hours ofretrofit labor, enabling you to retrofit more conveyor in a givendown time window.
Excessive rod and sprocket wear in abrasive applications cancause a number of undesirable conditions. Aside from theobvious effect of reduced belt life, there can be addeddifficulties in making repairs. A badly worn rod cannot beremoved easily. Often, belt modules are damaged in theprocess. Worn rods also cause belt pitch to increase, which
decreases sprocket engagement and, in turn, increases thewear rate on sprocket teeth. The belt may not run as smoothlyas it should under these circumstances.
Intralox has developed stainless steel split sprockets andAbrasion Resistant (AR) hinge rods which enhance theperformance of Intralox belts in abrasive or grittyenvironments. Rigorous testing shows that these ARcomponents significantly outlast standard components and
increase belt module life. Abrasive particles are less likely to
become imbedded in the harder AR material. Thus, thecomponents themselves do not become abrasive surfaceswearing on the belt.
Intralox Split Sprockets are an alternative to molded plasticsprockets for all Series 100, 400, 800, 900, 1100, and 1200
belts. Split Sprockets are constructed from FDA compliantmaterials, but are not USDA-FSIS accepted. Refer to theindividual Shaft and Sprocket Data pages for detailedinformation.
The old style, all Stainless Steel Abrasion Resistant Sprockets,are still available as special order items. Contact CustomerService for lead-times.
The AR rods are stiffer than standard rods, so belt pullcapabilities are not sacrificed. They are lighter, less expensiveand are more flexible than steel rods. They also provide goodchemical resistance, low friction, a wide operating temperaturerange and are FDA compliant for direct food contact.
In all belt styles which employ Intraloxโs snap-lock rod
retention system, the AR rods are held in place with โrodletsโinstalled on both edges of the belt. Rodlets are short, headedrods (see โFig. 2โ27 Abrasion resistant rods and rodletsโ )which are also made of Abrasion Resistant material.
Belts that utilize a headless rod retention system or belts withSLIDELOXยฎ do not require a head of any type (see belowโFig. 2โ28 Series 1100 side viewโ and โFig. 2โ29 Series 1400 with Slideloxยฎโ ).
The SLIDELOXยฎ rod retention system is a headless rod
retention method. This system uses a shuttle plug to retain therods during operation. The SLIDELOXยฎ plug can be easilymoved to the side when work on the belt is required.
To remove a rod after a belt has been in service for some time,apply a soapy solution or other lubricant to the belt hinge. Thiswill help loosen any grit that has become trapped between therod and the module.
If Abrasion Resistant rods are used in continuously wet,elevated temperature environments, they have a tendency toabsorb water and expand in length and diameter. If anapplication requires an Abrasion Resistant rod in theseconditions, contact Sales Engineering to determine theapproximate expansion due to water absorption.

After selecting a belt (series, style and material) and itsaccessories, the conveyor frame must be designed. Intraloxprovides the following dimensional data and guidelines, basedupon good design principles and practice, for use in designing
new conveyor frames or adapting and retrofitting existingones.
The illustration below identifies most of the components in aconventional, horizontal conveyor. The items shown are only
representative of those in common use. There are many variations of components and design details. The designermust become familiar with those available in order to producethe most appropriate and economical conveyor.
Contact Customer Service to request the BeltingInstallation, Maintenance & Trouble ShootingGuidelines or to request any additional guidelines.
Regardless of type or configuration, all conveyors usingIntralox belts have some basic dimensional requirements.Specifically, dimensions โAโ, โBโ, โCโ, โDโ and โEโ in theillustrations and tables below should be implemented in any
design. Also, the conveyor should allow access to the side ofthe belt at some point for rod clearance during the installation,tensioning, or removal of the belt.
DIMENSION DEFINITIONSA โ The vertical distance between the centerline of the shaft
and the top of the carryway.The belt-to-sprocket engagement and end-off/end-on
product transfers are affected by the โAโ dimension and theamount of chordal action between the belt and sprockets.Chordal action occurs as each row of modules in a belt risesand falls as it engages the drive sprockets or disengages the idlesprockets. This effect is most pronounced in the large pitchbelt/small pitch diameter sprocket combination, such asSeries 800 with 4.0 in. (102 mm) pitch diameter sprockets.
For small pitch diameter sprockets, the โAโ dimension isgiven as a range to indicate when the belt will be horizontal atboth the high and low points of the chordal action.
For large pitch diameter sprockets/small pitch beltcombinations, the effects of chordal action are small and fallwithin the allowable tolerance. For these sprockets, a range forthe โAโ dimension is not necessary.
The bottom of the range is determined when the center of themodule is at the top of the sprocket. At this point, this leading,engaged module is horizontal (โFig. 3โ3 Chordal effects -
bottom of rangeโ ). As this row of modules rotates around thesprocket, the next row starts engaging the sprockets and islifted above horizontal. It returns to horizontal as this row fullyengages the sprockets.
The top of the range is determined when the center of thehinge, between two rows of modules, is at the top of thesprocket. At this point, the leading module is horizontal(โFig. 3โ4 Chordal effects - top of rangeโ ). As this row ofmodules engages the sprockets, the row drops belowhorizontal. It returns to horizontal as the leading edge of the
next row starts to engage the sprockets. This arrangement
should not be used with the Series 800 belts since theunderside geometry of the modules may cause chatter on theends of the wearstrip or wear plate.
The โAโ dimension can be set at any point inside the givenrange. If an โAโ dimension is selected, which is between the topand bottom of the range, the belt will both rise abovehorizontal and drop below horizontal as each row engages thesprockets.
B โ The horizontal distance between the centerline of theshaft and the beginning of the carryway. This dimension
assumes that a 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) thick carryway is used,allowing for a typical 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) support and 0.25 in.(6.4 mm) wearstrip. The carryway can be extended to within0.5 in. (12.7 mm) of the centerline of the shaft if the supportsextend between the sprockets โFig. 3โ10 Anti-sag configurationโ (page 380).
C โ The vertical distance between the top of the carrywayand the top of the returnway rails or rollers. This shouldprovide between 180ยฐ (min.) and 210ยฐ belt wrap around thedrive sprockets. The listed dimensions will provide theminimum 180ยฐ wrap required for proper engagement.
D โ The clearance between the edges of the belt and the sideframe member, 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) min. It should be noted
that the minimum edge clearance between sideframes and the belt must be determined at theoperating temperature of the belt. Always check withCustomer Service for precise belt widthmeasurement and stock status before designing aconveyor or ordering a belt. See โTHERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTIONโ (page 395) andโEXPANSION DUE TO WATER ABSORPTIONโ (page 395)sections to calculate the operating width of your belt attemperatures above ambient.
E โ The minimum horizontal distance between thecenterline of the shaft and any framework.

Intralox square shafts provide maximum efficiency indriving the belt. The two primary advantages are: 1) thepositive transmission of torque to the sprockets without keysand keyways, and 2) allowing lateral movement of sprockets toaccommodate the inherent differences in thermal expansionor contraction between plastics and metals.
SHAFT SIZES AND MATERIALSIntralox, LLC USA stocks square shaft materials in
Aluminum (6061-T6), Carbon Steel (C-1018) and StainlessSteel (303 and 316) in the following sizes:
Intralox, LLC Europe offers square shaft materials inCarbon Steel (KG-37) and Stainless Steel (304) in the followingsizes:
The correct shaft size for your application can be determinedby calculations found in the โBelt Selection Instructionsโ (page 43), or from the formulas beginning on page 398.Typical shaft sizes and material properties are listed inโTable 8 SHAFT DATAโ (page 409).
DRIVE SHAFT TORQUE LOADING
An important consideration in the selection of shaft sizes isthe torque loading that the drive shaft must absorb. The beltโspull, acting through the sprockets, introduces the torsional or
twisting load on the drive shaft. Under any given set ofconditions, i.e., product loading and frictional resistance, the
belt pull will remain constant, but torque on the drive shaft will vary with the size of sprockets chosen. As the sprocket pitchdiameter is increased, the torque on the shaft is also increased.Therefore, if a particular shaft size is desired, but the torque tobe absorbed exceeds that recommended by โTable 9 MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TORQUE ON DRIVE
SHAFTโ (page 409), recalculate the torque with the smallersprocket if there is a smaller diameter sprocket available in yourbeltโs series. To achieve the same belt speed, the rotationalspeed (RPM) must be proportionally greater with the smallersprocket.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The power needed to drive the belt can be calculated in theโBelt Selection Instructionsโ (page 43), or from the formulasbeginning on page 398. It should be noted, this calculatedpower does not include the power needed to overcomemechanical or other inefficiencies in the system. Since
conveyor arrangements and power trains may consist of manypossible choices, the following table may assist you indetermining the amount of added power needed for yourdesign.
Determine the total efficiency losses in the components to beused and use the calculated power to determine the required
Motor Power as follows:
For example, if you determine the total efficiency losses inyour system amount to 15% and your belt drive power wascalculated to be 2.5 horsepower, the required motorhorsepower can be found from:
Therefore, in this case, the appropriate motor power to drive
It is usually necessary to laterally retain only one sprocket oneach of the drive and idler shafts. This sprocket will provide thepositive tracking necessary to keep the belt running properlybetween side frames of the conveyor. By allowing the othersprockets to move laterally, thermal expansion differencesbetween the belt and frame are easily accommodated. Byconvention, Intralox recommends the sprocket adjacent to oron the beltโs centerline be retained using retainer rings on bothsides of the sprocket. When only two sprockets are used, retainthe sprockets on the drive journal side of the conveyor.
In some cases, the โcenterโ sprocket will be slightly offsetfrom the centerline of the belt. In Series 1100, the centersprocket will be 0.5 in. (13 mm) off center when the belt widthis an odd number of inches wide, e.g., 7 in. or 9 in. (or an oddmultiple of 25.4 mm). Series 2200 sprockets will always be0.25 in. (6.4 mm) off center. If a Radius Belt Standard Edge orTabbed Edge wearstrip is used to contain the Series 2200
belt up to the sprockets, it is not recommended that anysprockets be retained on the shaft. In this case, the wearstrip isused to maintain the beltโs lateral position.
INTERMEDIATE BEARINGS
On wide belt systems or those under heavy tension loads, anadditional bearing (or bearings) may be needed to support thecenter of the drive and idler shafts to reduce deflection toacceptable levels. Excessive drive shaft deflection will causeimproper belt-to-tooth engagement, a condition which shouldbe avoided.
When intermediate bearings are considered, the shaftdeflection formulas are different from the one which applies toshafts supported by only two bearings. With a third bearing,located in the center of the shaft , the deflection formula (see
page 400) is straightforward and easy to apply.
However, when the third bearing is placed off center, or whenmore than three bearings are used , the analysis is socomplicated that convenient general formulas for deflectioncannot be given. A simpler approach is to allow the designer todetermine a safe maximum span length, using the charts inSection 4. After calculating the TOTAL SHAFT LOAD, w,
the maximum span for available shaft sizes and materials iseasily determined. Tables 11A and 11B (page 411) are for
Conventional Conveyors using two bearings and three ormore bearings. Tables 11C and 11D (page 411) are thecorresponding curves for Bi-directional and PusherConveyors.
Intermediate bearings usually are Split Journal Bearings.They should be mounted on the conveyor frame with the splitof the bearing housing perpendicular to the direction of thebelt travel. (Note: if the split is parallel with the belt travel, itsload capacity is reduced significantly.) In cases requiringintermediate bearings, it is prudent to utilize sprockets withthe largest practical diameter because of the rather largehousing dimensions. Otherwise, a bearing modification maybe needed to allow it to fit the limited space available.
ROLLERS AS IDLE SHAFTS AND SPROCKETREPLACEMENTS
In many applications, idle shafts and their sprockets may bereplaced by rollers made of steel pipe, supported by stub shafts.These pipe rollers can be considerably stiffer than a
comparable length of solid, square shafting. For example, a 4in. (102 mm) โ Schedule 40 pipe and a 6 in. (152 mm) โSchedule 40 pipe have more than twice the stiffness of 2.5 in.(63.5 mm) and 3.5 in. (88.9 mm) square steel shafts,respectively. Therefore, in cases where loads are high and thebelt is wide, the use of rollers such as these may eliminate theneed for intermediate bearings to reduce shaft deflection toacceptable levels. Flanging or spooling of the ends of therollers to retain the belt laterally is necessary in some cases.
Scroll idlers can also be used in place of idle sprockets. SeeโScroll idlersโ (page 366). Scroll idlers are used to help keep thereturnway clean and free of debris.
SOFT STARTING MOTORS AND FLUID COUPLINGS
Rapid starting of high speed or loaded conveyors isdetrimental to good belt and sprocket life. This will also causeadverse effects on the entire drive train. When the motorpower exceeds 1/4 horsepower per foot of belt width (612 wattsper meter), Intralox strongly recommends the use of softstarting electric motors or one of the several fluid couplings(wet or dry) presently available. These devices allow the drivenconveyor to accelerate gradually to operating speeds, which isbeneficial for all components.

Since theirprimary purposes are to provide a lower friction runningsurface and to reduce wear on both the belt and the frame, it iswise to give careful consideration to this part of the design.

These are continuous sheets of metal, UHMW or HDPE overwhich the belt slides. They extend the full width of the belt andalmost the entire length between idler and drive sprockets.
The plates may be perforated with slots or holes to allow fordrainage and the passage of foreign material. In heavily loadedapplications, this type of carryway surface is considered a goodchoice because of the continuous support it provides to thebelt.
WEARSTRIP CARRYWAYS
All wearstrips are available in Ultra High Molecular Weight(UHMW) Polyethylene. Certain styles are also available inHigh Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Molybdenum-fillednylon (Nylatron).
Wearstrip types and sizes
Intralox can provide wearstrips of three different types:โข Standard flat wearstrips are relatively thick, narrow, flat
bars of UHMW, HDPE or Nylatron. UHMW and HDPE flatwearstrips are available in 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) thick ร 1.25 in.(31.8 mm) wide ร 10 ft. (3 m) lengths. Molybdenum-fillednylon (Nylatron) flat wearstrips are available in 0.125 in. (3.2mm) thick ร 1.25 in. (31.8 mm) wide ร 8.5 ft. (2.6 m) lengths.The strips are applied directly to the frame and attached withplastic bolts and nuts in slotted holes. This allows the stripsto expand and contract freely with temperature changes.
โข Flat finger-joint wearstrips have a notched-end design(โFig. 3โ7 Straight, parallel wearstrip arrangementโ ) which
provides an overlapping section for continuous belt supportwithout sharp edges. These 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) thickwearstrips are fastened in short lengths at the leading endonly, with a 0.375 in. (9.5 mm) gap, to provide freedom forelongation caused by temperature changes. They areavailable in UHMW and HDPE.
โข Angle and clip-on wearstrips normally are used inapplications where belt edge protection is needed or lateraltransfer is required. They are available in lengths of 10 ft.(3 m) in UHMW. In addition to the standard angle wearstrip,several specially clip-on or snap-on strips are available.
These strips attach to the frame without the need of fasteners.Refer to page 366 for more information on availablewearstrips.
Wearstrip arrangementsโข Straight, parallel runners These supports consist of
strips, either metal or plastic, placed on the frame parallelwith the beltโs travel. While relatively inexpensive to install,their disadvantage is that belt wear is confined to the narrowareas in contact with the strips. This arrangement isrecommended, therefore, in low-load applications only.
โข Chevron array By placing the strips in an overlapping โVโor Chevron array, the underside of the belt is supportedacross its full width as it moves along the carryway. Thus thewear is distributed evenly. The angled surfaces can beeffective in removing gritty or abrasive material from theunderside of the belt. A minimum 0.4 in. (10.2 mm) gap is
recommended between the points of the wearstrip to reducedebris build up. This arrangement is also good for heavilyloaded applications. By reducing the spacing betweenadjacent chevrons, the bearing load on the strips and thebeltโs unsupported span is decreased.Standard flat wearstrips can be modified to form the Chevron
Under certain conditions, belts will require more carrywaysupport near the sprockets. This is due to the belt tension notbeing great enough to support product between the end of the
wearstrip support and the beginning of the sprocket support.Without adequate support, the belt may buckle (โFig. 3โ9 Buckling belt rowsโ ). This buckling can be eliminated byextending the wearstrip supports, between the sprockets, towithin 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) of the shaft centerline (โFig. 3โ10 Anti-sag configurationโ ).
Fig. 3โ10 Anti-sag configuration
Series 900 and Series 1100 belts may need more supportthan normally required under heavy product loads. Toprevent the belt from sagging or bowing under the weight, thewearstrips should be placed so that the unsupported spansbetween the strips, in parallel or chevron array, do not exceed2 in. (50.8 mm). The unsupported span of 2 in. (50.8 mm) ismeasured perpendicular to the support structure (โFig. 3โ10 Anti-sag configurationโ ), regardless of the angle of the supportto the direction of belt travel.
WEARSTRIP DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Temperature limits
UHMW flat and angle wearstrips are recommended to160 ยฐF (71 ยฐC). HDPE is recommended to 140 ยฐF (60 ยฐC);Molybdenum-filled nylon (Nylatron) up to 250 ยฐF (121 ยฐC).
Thermal expansion and contraction
Installation of Intralox flat and angle wearstrips should allowfor thermal expansion and contraction. See โTHERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTIONโ (page 395), for
Coefficients of Expansion. At operating temperatures of 100 ยฐF(38 ยฐC) or less, it is sufficient to bevel-cut the opposing ends ofstrips at an angle of 30ยฐ from the horizontal and provide aclearance gap of 0.30 in. (7.6 mm). At temperatures exceeding100 ยฐF (38 ยฐC), the angle of the cut should be 60ยฐ. The clearanceshould be determined from thermal expansion calculations. Itis recommended that wearstrip joining locations be staggeredfor smooth belt operation.
Chemical resistance
Please refer to the Polyethylene columns of the โChemicalResistance Guideโ (page 413), for information on UHMW and
HDPE wearstrips.
ROLLERS AS CARRYWAYS
Rollers are not usually used on new applications because theydo not provide a continuous supporting surface. The chordalaction, as the modules pass over the rollers, will often createproblems if product tippage is critical. However, on convertedunits, rollers are sometimes employed, especially where bulkproducts are to be conveyed.
The return side of conventional conveyors using Intraloxbelts are generally exposed to relatively low tension loads, butnonetheless, are very important in the overall design.
Note: On bi-directional and push-pull conveyors wherereturn side tensions are high, special attention must be paid tothis part of the design, see page 384.
CONTROL OF BELT LENGTH
One of the principal functions of the returnway is to properly accommodate the increase (or decrease) in the length of thebelt while operating. Control of belt length is vital inmaintaining sufficient tension of the belt after it disengagesfrom the drive shaft sprockets. A belt which increases in length
can disengage from its drive sprockets if proper design criteriaare not followed. A belt which contracts due to coldtemperatures may cause over-tensioning and excessive shaftloads if some surplus belt is not provided. Belts will eitherelongate or contract in operation because of these factors:โข Temperature variations
Assuming belts are installed at average ambient conditions,normally about 70 ยฐF (21 ยฐC), any significant temperaturechange in operation will result in contraction or elongationof the belt. The magnitude of the thermal contraction orexpansion is dependent upon the beltโs material , thedifference in temperatures and the overall length of the belt .Please refer to the section on โTHERMAL EXPANSION AND
CONTRACTIONโ (page 395), to determine the temperatureeffects in your application.
โข Elongation (strain) under load
All belts will elongate if tension is applied. The amount ofincrease in length will depend upon the belt Series and Style,the beltโs material , the amount of tension or โbelt pullโapplied, and the operating temperature. Generally speaking,on conventional conveyors where the ADJUSTED BELTPULL (ABP) is about 30% of ALLOWABLE BELTSTRENGTH (ABS), this load-induced elongation isapproximately 1% of the conveyorโs length. If ABP reachesthe ABS, this strain should not exceed 2.5% of theconveyorโs length.
โข Elongation due to break-in and wear
New belts will usually experience elongation in the first daysof operation as the hinge rods and modules โseatโthemselves. In some severe services where heavy loads existor abrasives are present, older belts will experienceelongation due to wear of the hinge rods and enlargement ofthe modulesโ hinge rod holes.
Catenary sagAs a belt expands or contracts, it is necessary to
accommodate the change in belt length. One of the mostcommon methods for controlling belt length is to provide oneor more unsupported sections on the return side in which thebelt may sag. This method of controlling belt length is referredto as the Catenary Sag Method. Since these unsupportedsections of belt hang under their own weight, theyapproximate the shape of โcatenary curvesโ. These curves areable to store the excess belt by increasing in depth between thetop and bottom of the curve. If more than one unsupportedreturnway section exists, the excess belt length is distributed
among all the unsupported sections. Thus, the more of thereturnway that is equipped with these catenary sections, theless vertical space is needed to store the excess belt length. Forapplications that will experience a large amount of expansionin length, other take-up arrangements may be required. Seepage 382 for an explanation of these alternate arrangements.
BACK TENSION
An adequate amount of returnway tension is needed directlyafter the drive sprocket for proper belt-to-sprocketengagement. This tension is commonly referred to as backtension. The span length and depth of the first catenary sagsection directly after the drive sprockets provide this backtension. Back tension is increased as the span is increased oras the depth is decreased. The depth of this catenary sectionshould not be allowed to exceed the recommendations in thefollowing illustrations for this reason. Care should also betaken to avoid allowing the sagged belt to โbottom-outโ on theconveyor frame. This will greatly reduce the back tension andmay cause sprocket disengagement.
The roller directly after the drive sprocket, commonlyreferred to as a โsnubโ roller, should be placed so that the beltis wrapped between 180ยฐ and 210ยฐ around the drive sprockets(see the โCโ dimension of โDimension definitionsโ (page 376)).
In the design of conventional conveyors, it is seldomnecessary to know precisely the amount of sag and tensionrequired for good belt-to-sprocket engagement. In cases whencatenary sag is used to accommodate belt length changes, it
may be necessary to know the length of the additional or excessbelt which is hanging between two adjacent supports and thetension created by that hanging section. These can bedetermined from formulas beginning on page 398. Thesesimplified formulas give close approximations for predictingthe results of catenary sag conditions. The actual formulas forcatenary curves are more complex. However, in practice,where the span-to-sag ratio is large, these simpler formulas aresufficiently accurate for most applications. For example, witha span-to-sag ratio of 10 to 1, the error in the tension formulasis approximately 2%.
STANDARD RETURNWAYSThe following illustrations provide recommended returnwayarrangements which have proven successful in manyapplications.
On very short conveyors, less than 6 ft. (2 m) long, areturnway support usually is unnecessary. The catenary sagbetween drive and idler sprockets alone is sufficient for goodoperation if the sag is limited to a maximum of 4 in. (102 mm).
As the length of the conveyor increases, it is necessary toprovide intermediate support rollers in the returnway, but it ismost important the belt be unsupported for a significant partof the total length, as shown in the following figures.
Sliderbed returnways
If a slide bed is used as part of the returnway, it should beginat least 24 in. (0.6 m) from the drive sprockets on short belts,less than 12 ft. (3.6 m) long, or 36 in. to 48 in. (1 m to 1.2 m)
from the drive sprockets on longer belts. A combination ofreturn rollers and a slide bed can also be used. See โFig. 3โ13 Conveyors with slide bedsโ for more details.
SPECIAL TAKE-UP ARRANGEMENTS
Catenary sag may be described as a dynamic take-up. Inmany applications it does not provide adequate tension toprevent sprockets from slipping. In these cases, other types oftake-ups are required.
A -The amount of catenary sag between eachset of return rollers on longer conveyors orbetween the drive and idle sprockets onshort conveyors should be between 1 in.(25.4 mm) and 4 in. (102 mm).
B -The snub roller should be placed 9 in. (0.23m) to 18 in. (0.46 m) from the drive and idle
shaft. The snub roller should be placed sothat the belt has between 180ยฐand 210ยฐofwrap around the sprocket.
C -The returnway rollers should be spaced 36in. (0.9 m) to 48 in. (1.22 m) apart for allseries belts except Series 100 and 400,which should have a 48 in. (1.22 m) to 60 in.(1.52 m) spacing. This, in combination withA and B, should provide the proper amountof return side tension for good sprocketengagement.
D -The minimum roller diameter is 2 in.
(51 mm) for belts up to 1.07 in. (27 mm) pitch and 4 in. (102 mm) for larger pitchbelts.
Fig. 3โ11 Short conveyors (less than 6โ [1.8 m] )
Fig. 3โ12 Medium to long conveyors (6โ [1.8 m] and longer)
E -Slide beds should beginat least 24 in. (0.6 m) from the drive sprocketson conveyors less than12 ft. (3.6 m) long and36 in. (0.9 m) to 48 in.(1.22 m) from the drivesprocket on longer belts.A combination of returnrollers and a slide bedcan also be used.
Bi-directional conveyors are usually designed in two basicdrive configurations: the Pull-pull type and the Push-pull
type. There are some features common to both, but each hascertain advantages and disadvantages. The illustrations and
comments below describe the differences between the twotypes.
Pull-pull designs
There are three common variations of the Pull-pull type,notably the center-drive method, the two-motor drivemethod, and the single-motor and slave-drive method.
โข Center-drive design
The center-drive is shown in โFig. 3โ15 Center-driven bi-directional conveyorโ and โFig. 3โ16 Center drive with nose barsโ . The reversible drive shaft is placed in the returnway nearthe center of the conveyor. This drive shaft should be placedto allow adequate belt tension to develop on both sides of thereturnway with catenary sag sections. Notice that the rollersdesignated as โAโ in the illustration are load-bearing. Theshafts and bearings which support them should be so designed.
Center-drive bi-directional conveyors, when designedcorrectly, afford excellent operating characteristics becausesprocket engagement occurs over 180ยฐ of rotation. In addition,only one reversing motor is required.
Note: Because belt tension is applied to both the carrywayside and returnway side of the idler shafts at opposite ends ofthe conveyor, these shafts must be designed for twice the belt
tension determined by calculations of the ADJUSTED BELTPULL, (ABP). Therefore, the shaft deflection calculations andsprocket spacing determination should be based upon two timesthe Adjusted Belt Pull . Because of these larger shaft loads, it issometimes necessary to use very large shafts, or to use rollersin lieu of idle sprockets and shafts on these designs.
โข Two-motor drive design
The two-motor drive design has the advantage of relativelylow returnway belt tension, but requires additional hardware(an additional motor and slip clutches) and electrical controlcomponents. Despite the additional equipment needed, on
extremely large units with heavy loads, this is often the mostpractical drive system.
โข Single-motor and slave-drive method
The single-motor (reversible) employing a roller chain,alternately driving either of two chain sprockets on theconveyor shafts, is another low-tension option. It is alsoexpensive because of the additional hardware required. Thisdrive system is usually limited to short conveyors because ofthe length of roller chain involved.
Push-pull designs
Push-pull bi-directional conveyors (โFig. 3โ17 Push-pull bi-directional conveyorโ ) require special attention to returnwaytension, shaft deflection and sprocket spacing. When thedriving shaft is pulling the load towards itself, the conveyoracts like other conventional units. When the direction of belttravel is reversed , the drive shaft is pushing the loaded belt. Inthis situation, if the return side tension is not greater than thecarryway tension, sprocket slipping or jumping will occur .Excess belt may buckle upwards in the carryway interferingwith product handling.
It is vital to design a Push-pull bi-directional conveyor withthe required return side belt tension. Experience has shownthis needs to be about 120 percent of the carryway side
ADJUSTED BELT PULL (ABP). See the Belt SelectionInstructions page 43, or the Formulas page 398. Havingdetermined the carryway side ABP, the returnway tension is:
N 3 โข Effect on shaft deflection and sprocket spacing
Since both drive and idler shafts will experience a tensionload as the belt approaches and leaves the sprockets, the totalshaft loading is more than twice that of a conventional uni-directional conveyor. Therefore, when calculating the shaftdeflection, it is most important to increase the Total RunningShaft Load for the added belt tension. The corrected AdjustedBelt Pull can be found from:
Use this value in calculating the Total Shaft Load and ShaftDeflection. Formulas for these may be found in the โBeltSelection Instructionsโ (page 43), or the โFormulasโ (page 398).Because the belt is tensioned on both sides of the sprockets, a
greater shaft deflection of about 0.22 in. (5.6 mm) is tolerablefor these conveyors.The Corrected ABP should also be used in determining the
proper spacing of shaft sprockets. See the Drive ShaftSprocket Spacing chart in โSection two: Product lineโ forthe belt being considered. Remember that both shafts
should be considered as drive shafts for deflection andsprocket spacing calculations.
The power and torque needed to drive the Push-pull unit isnot affected by the returnway tension, however, the greatershaft loading does affect the loads on bearings. The designer istherefore cautioned to allow for this additional load in theselection of the shaft bearings.
ELEVATING CONVEYORS
Elevating conveyors are similar to horizontal units withseveral design differences required for good operation. First,the upper shaft is strongly recommended as the drive shaft . Theextreme difficulty of โpushingโ product up an inclineprecludes this as a viable alternative. Second, as the angle ofincline increases, the effectiveness of catenary sag as a methodof length control decreases. It is always recommended thatsome mechanical form (screw or spring) of take-up be employed
on the lower or idler shaft.Elevators almost always involve the use of flights and
sideguards which present special requirements in the design.For example, shoes or slide beds on the return side must bedesigned so these flights or sideguards will not interfere withthe smooth operation of the conveyor. The illustrations andcomments in โFig. 3โ18 Incline conveyorโ through โFig. 3โ22 Elevating conveyor with shoe returnโ show five different
variations of elevating conveyors.

2 -Screw take-up end * Sag
3 -Roller or shoe

GENERAL NOTES ON ELEVATING CONVEYORS: THESE NOTES APPLY TO โFig. 3โ18 Inclineconveyorโ TO โFig. 3โ22 Elevating conveyor with shoe returnโ .
A -If sprockets are used at intermediate points, the center sprockets are NOT retained. If rollers or shoes areused, a 3 in. (76 mm) minimum radius is required for 1.00 in. (25.4 mm) pitch belts; a 5 in. (127 mm) minimumradius for 2.00 in. (50.8 mm) pitch belts.
B -To minimize wear, the hold down shoe radius should be as large as the application will allow. The minimumradius should be 6 in. (152 mm).
C -Internal roller or shoe should have a minimum diameter of 3 in. (76 mm).
D -Consider a drum or scroll on the idle end if product or foreign materials are expected to fall between the beltand the sprockets.
E -Keep drip pans clear of flights and sideguards between drive sprockets and the first shoe or roller.
F -For proper sprocket engagement, do not allow belt sag to develop between the drive sprocket and the firstroller or shoe.

Note: Catenary length of 4' (1.2 m) to 5' (1.5 m) for loads under 10 lb/ftยฒ (50 kg/mยฒ).Note: Catenary length of 8' (2.5 m) to 10' (3 m) for loads over 10 lb/ftยฒ (50 kg/mยฒ).Note: Center notch required if "W" (Belt Width) exceeds 24" (0.6 m).
Some elevating conveyors can employ Hold Down Rollerassemblies in place of hold down shoes or rollers. These rollerassemblies ride in steel rails on the carryway and returnwayside of the conveyor. To minimize wear, the rail bend radius
should be as large as the application allows. The minimumbend radius should be 12 in. (305 mm). The minimum railthickness should be 0.125 in. (3.2 mm), and should be at least0.75 in. (19 mm) wide. The minimum bend radius isproportional to the thickness of the carryway rail. A thickerrail will require a larger bend radius. Normally, the rollerassemblies are spaced every fourth row along the length of thebelt. The tightest spacing possible is every second row.Assembly spacing has no effect on bend radius.
When large temperature variations are to be encountered,care must be taken in the placement of the rails toaccommodate the thermal expansion of the belt. Thetransverse movement of the roller assemblies can be calculatedby using the Coefficients of Thermal Expansion
(page 395). The distance of the hold down roller assembly tothe belt centerline is used to calculate the movement.
For example:A 24 in. (610 mm) Series 400 Flush Grid polypropylene
belt, with hold down rollers indented 4 in. (102 mm) fromeach side, will operate at 100 ยฐF (38 ยฐC). The distance atambient temperature, 70 ยฐF (21 ยฐC), from a hold down rollerassembly to the belt centerline is 8 in. (203 mm).

Buckets are available for use with Series 200 Open Grid,
Flush Grid, Flat Top and Perforated Flat Top belts. Thesame guidelines that apply to flighted belts generally apply tobelts with buckets. The minimum backbend radius of a beltwith buckets is 3.5 in. (88.9 mm). Rollers and shoes must besized accordingly.
Sprockets cannot be located behind the bucket gussets.Gussets will interfere with the normal action of the sprockets.
Friction modules
Several Intralox belt styles incorporate a high frictionmaterial to move products (cartons, trays, bags, etc.) oninclines.
โข Integral friction surface modules
The high friction rubber of Friction Top modules is moldedto a polypropylene or polyethylene base. Normal wearstrip,carryway and sprocket recommendations apply.
Conveyor design issues for friction modules
The following guidelines apply:โข The returnway must be designed to eliminate rubbing
contact with friction modules. When using return rollers,
the minimum roller diameter should be 3 in. (76 mm). Refer
to โElevating conveyorsโ (page 386) for detailed returnwayinformation.
โข The friction between the product and the belt is deliberately very high. Flow pressures and belt pulls will be high inapplications where the product is allowed to back up. Thesesituations are not recommended for any friction top belt.
โข End-to-end transfers at both the in-feed and discharge endsare recommended. Sliding side transfers are ineffective dueto the high friction quality of the friction modules.
โข Thermal expansion is controlled by the base material.โข Operating temperature limits are controlled by the limits of
both the friction top material and the base material.
SIDEFLEXING CONVEYORSSeries 2200 and Series 2400 are designed for sideflexing
applications that have a turning radius of 2.2, measured fromthe inside edge of the belt (1.7 for Tight Turning Series 2400).Sideflexing systems have many more design considerationsthan straight running systems. Some of these are discussed inโSection two: Product lineโ . The data pages for Series 2200
and Series 2400 list requirements for both calculating thebelt loads on a sideflexing system and basic designrequirements for each belt. Contact Customer Service formore detailed information.

TIGHT TRANSFER METHODS FOR SERIES 1100Series 1100 has two small steel sprockets for very tight end-
to-end transfers. The 1.6 in. (40 mm) and 2.3 in. (59 mm) pitchdiameter sprockets both offer positive drive and tracking of thebelt, and allow use of very small transfer plates. When eventighter transfers are desired, nosebars or rollers may be used.The smallest nosebar diameter recommended for Series1100 is 0.875 in. (22.2 mm). Dead plates can be as small as 1in. (25.4 mm) wide.
Arrangements which allow the nosebars to rotate freely arepreferred. Belt tension increases dramatically as it slidesaround stationary nosebars. The increased belt pull is afunction of the friction between the sliding belt and thestationary nosebar, and the angle of wrap between the belt andthe nosebar.
The nosebar material should be selected to result in thelowest possible sliding friction between the belt and nosebar.Lower friction will reduce belt tension. The amount of beltwrap around the nosebar also affects belt tension. Thereshould be as little wrap as possible. A common nosebarconfiguration is shown in โFig. 3โ26 Series 1100 nosebar
configuration โ End driveโ .Nosebar conveyors often cause an increased amount of belt
hinge movement, leading to accelerated hinge wear.Therefore, we recommend to use premium materials for bothmodules and rods. If the application allows this, acetalmodules and AR-nylon rods are the preferred materials.

END-OFF/END-ON TRANSFERS
FINGER TRANSFER PLATES
Intralox Raised Rib belts and matching finger transfer platesare a highly efficient, low maintenance transfer systemcurrently used in many container handling applications.
Correct installation of finger transfer plates is essential for
trouble free service and long belt life. Proper installation isparticularly important in areas where belting is subjected tohigh temperature variations and significant thermalexpansion.

The metal plate support angle used to secure the fingertransfer plates to the conveyor frame should be drilled andtapped for 1/4 โ 20 screws (metric size M6). Accurate drillingand tapping are important! Finger transfer plates are moldedwith slots for Intralox shoulder bolts. These bolts prevent theplate from being clamped too tightly to the support angle. Theloose fit allows the plates to move laterally and remainproperly engaged with the beltโs ribs during expansion or
contraction caused by changes in temperature. The length ofthe slots in the finger transfer plates limits the amount ofexpansion and contraction that can be accommodated. It ispossible that very wide belts undergoing large temperature
variations will exceed the expansion or contraction limits.Contact Intralox Sales Engineering if the values shown in theaccompanying table are not large enough for your application.

DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FINGER TRANSFER PLATE INSTALLATION in. (mm)
a. Dimensions are for two-material, Series 400 Standard Finger Transfer Plates only. See page 78 Series 400 Finger Transfer Plate dimensions for moreinformation.
b. Dimensions are for two-material, Series 1200 Standard Finger Transfer Plates only. See page 191 Series 1200 Finger Transfer Plate dimensions for moreinformation.
Where there is a transfer point from a belt without fingertransfer plates to a dead plate, there should be a gap betweenthe surfaces to allow for the chordal action of the belt. As thebelt engages its sprockets, chordal action causes the modules tomove past a fixed point (the tip of the dead plate) with varying clearances. The Dead Plate Gap tables at the end of each Seriesin โSection two: Product lineโ show the minimum amount ofgap which occurs at the โlow pointโ of the modules if the tip ofthe dead plate just comes in contact with the โhigh pointโ asthe modules pass.
In some installations it may be desirable to keep the tip of thedead plate in contact with the belt, rather than allow a gap tooccur. This can be done by hinging the mounting bracket forthe dead plate. This allows the dead plate to move as themodules pass, but results in a small oscillating motion whichmay present tippage problems for sensitive containers orproducts.
90ยฐCONTAINER TRANSFERSWhen transferring containers on beverage lines from one
conveyor to another at a 90ยฐ angle, it is common practice to usefull radius guide rails with dead plates which span the spacebetween the delivery and the takeaway conveyors. Containersmoving along the full radius guide rail exert high pressure onthe rail (โFig. 3โ29 Conventional full radius guide rail contoursโ ), and on each other, often resulting in containerdamage. Pressure forces peak to the end of the outer curve asthe containers move onto the dead plate.
Parabolic guide railsThe parabolic guide rail was designed by a beverageindustry engineer for better distribution of the containerpressure forces along the outer guide rail. In โFig. 3โ30 Parabolic guide rail contoursโ is shown that the forces are moreevenly distributed. This results in significantly less potentialfor container damage along the outer rail. However, anexcessively large dead area, which strands containers, arisesalong the inner parabolic guide rail contour.
MAXIMUM BELT WIDTH ร TEMPERATUREinches ร ยฐF (mm ร ยฐC)
As temperature varies, the width of the belt changes inproportion to the magnitude of the temperature change.To insure proper finger transfer plate operation,perform the following check:1. Determine the maximum expected change in
temperature from ambient, in ยฐF (ยฐC) .2. Multiply the maximum temperature change by the
belt width, in inches (millimeters).3. If the calculated value is greater than the value

A solution to the dead area problem incorporates a Series900, Series 1100 or Series 1400 ONEPIECEโข LiveTransfer Belt, either slaved to the delivery conveyor or
independently driven. In โFig. 3โ31 PARABOLIC GUIDE RAIL CONTOURS WITH 6.0 in. (152 mm) ONEPIECEโข LIVE TRANSFER BELTโ a 6.0 in. (152 mm) transfer belt isshown running parallel to, and in the same direction as, thedelivery conveyor. This eliminates the dead area along theinner parabolic guide rail, as well as the dead plate itself,enabling continuous container movement and eliminatingstranded containers through the turn.

VACUUM TRANSFER APPLICATIONSSeries 900 and Series 1100 Perforated Flat Top belts
are often used to invert empty containers which are heldagainst the belt by a vacuum created on the opposite side of theconveyor. As the containers are carried around large diameterdrums to the returnway side of the conveyor, they are inverted,then discharged from the belt.
The differential pressure acting to hold the containers to thebelt also acts to hold the belt to the carryway. Thus, an
additional belt pull is introduced. On small belts with lowdifferential pressures, this added pull may be low andinsignificant. On large belts with high differential pressures,the additional pull may be quite high. Under averageconditions, the SPECIFIC ADDED BELT PULL should notexceed 1.25 lb/ft (0.24 kg/m) per inch (mm) water column,
vacuum.The designer may also be interested in the amount of air flow
through the belt at various differential pressures. Air flowdepends on the amount of open area, the differential pressure,the container spacing on the belt, and the air leakage aroundthe perimeter of the belt. For air flow information on differentbelt series and styles, refer to โTable 11 AIR FLOW RATETHROUGH BELT, PER SQUARE FOOT OF BELT AREAโ
(page 410) .

With few exceptions, the dimensions of all substancesincrease as their temperature is increased and contract as theirtemperature is decreased. Since plastics expand and contractrather significantly, this must be considered in the conveyor
design whenever operating temperatures differ from ambienttemperature.The designer must allow for changes in both belt length and
width to accommodate expansion or contraction. An adequateunsupported span in the returnway must be provided toabsorb the increase in belt length. There must be sufficientside clearance, particularly on wide belts, to preventinterference with the side structure. In low temperatureapplications, the frame must support the belt fully in its coldcondition, yet not interfere at ambient temperatures.
Changes in the dimensions of a belt are determined in thismanner:
Example:The ambient temperature is 70 ยฐF (21 ยฐC). The operating
temperature is 180 ยฐF (82 ยฐC). What is the greatest increase inbelt length and width of a 60 ft. (18.3 m) long by 10 ft. (3 m)wide polypropylene belt while in operation?
This belt will increase in length by 5.28 in. (134 mm), not aninsignificant amount . Its width will expand by:
Therefore, this belt would need a method by whichapproximately 5.5 in. (140 mm) of increased belt length couldbe absorbed on the return side of the conveyor. The width ofthe conveyor frame would need to be approximately 1 in.(25 mm) wider than its corresponding design under ambientconditions.
EXPANSION DUE TO WATER ABSORPTION
If nylon belts are used in continuously wet, elevatedtemperature environments, they have a tendency to absorbwater and expand both in length and width. If an applicationrequires a nylon belt in these conditions, contact Intralox SalesEngineering to determine the approximate expansion due towater absorption of the belt.
โSLIP-STICKโ EFFECT
Surging on long conveyors can be caused by a conditionknown as โslip-stickโ. In this situation, the belt acts like a large
spring or rubber band. The belt will make relatively short,pulsed movements throughout the length of the conveyor.The idle end of the belt may not move until there is enough belttension to overcome the friction forces between the belt andthe carryway. Instead of accelerating smoothly, the belt surgesahead. This in turn causes a brief drop in belt tension, allowingthe belt to be slowed by friction. In some instances, the beltwill even stop for a moment until the tension develops again.Then the process repeats itself. The idle end of the conveyorsurges despite the constant speed of rotation of the sprocketsat the drive end.
Carryway friction, belt stiffness, belt weight and length play alarge role in determining the severity of surging in a conveyor.Stiffness is a reflection of how far a belt will stretch under a

given tension. A stiffer belt will develop belt tension with lesselongation. A lighter weight belt will not have as much frictionforce to overcome.
Other factors that can effect surging are chordal action, beltspeed, drive system pulsation, return roller diameter andreturn roller spacing. Chordal action and drive systempulsation can initiate surging. However, return roller
diameter and spacing are more critical. Return rollersinfluence the way in which the belt in the returnway oscillates.Oscillation in the returnway can be transmitted to thecarryway side of the belt, causing surging. For moreinformation on roller spacing and diameter, see โReturnways and take-upsโ (page 380). Chordal action information ispresented on page 16.

The tensile strength on an operating conveyor belt isproduced by the combination of loads imposed by frictionalresistance and by moving the product to a different elevation,should that be involved.
Frictional forces are developed in two ways. First, the weightsof the belt and the product being conveyed bearing on thecarryway create a resistance as the belt is driven. Second, if theproduct is held stationary while the belt continues to moveunder it, there is an added resistance between the belt and theproduct.
Each of these frictional forces is proportional to aCOEFFICIENT OF FRICTION, which is dependent upon
the materials in question, their surface qualities, the presence(or absence) of a lubricant, the cleanliness of the surfaces andother factors. Typical values of Coefficients of Friction forcommon conveying applications using Intralox belts areshown in Tables 2-A and 2-B (page 406). The Coefficient ofFriction between the belt and the carryway wearstrips isdesignated as Fw. The coefficient between the product beingmoved and the belt is represented as Fp.
The first step in calculating BELT PULL, BP, is calculationof the BACKED-UP PRODUCT LOAD, Mp:
Notice that in Table 2-A there are dual listings of Fw forbelts made of polypropylene, one for clean, smooth runningapplications and another for โabrasiveโ applications.
In this case, โabrasivesโ are defined as small amounts or lowlevels of fine grit, dirt, fiber or glass particles present on thecarryway. The designer should be aware that many factorsaffect friction. Slight variations in conditions can produce widedeviations. Accordingly, when using friction coefficients indesign calculations, allow for these variations.
After calculating Mp and finding the friction factor Fw,calculate the BELT PULL, BP, using this formula:
This equation for Belt Pull reflects its two components:[(M + 2W) ร Fw + Mp] ร L for the friction load and (M ร H)
for the change in elevation, if one exists.

ADJUSTING THE CALCULATED BELT PULL FORACTUAL SERVICE CONDITIONS
Service conditions may vary greatly. The Belt Pull, BP,calculated from Formula 2 should be adjusted to allow forthose factors. The ADJUSTED BELT PULL, ABP, isdetermined by applying an appropriate Service Factor, SF.
On bi-directional or "pusher" type conveyors, where the returnside belt tension is high, both terminal shafts must beconsidered as Drive Shafts when determining ADJUSTEDBELT PULL
Service Factors can be determined using โTable 6 (SF)SERVICE FACTORโ (page 407).
CALCULATE ALLOWABLE BELT STRENGTH, ABS
Intralox belts have strength ratings, determined at ambient
temperature and low speed. Because the strength of plasticsgenerally decreases as their temperature increases, and becausethe wear rate is directly proportional to speed but inverselyproportional to conveyor length, the RATED BELT
STRENGTH, BS, should be adjusted according to thisformula:
The rated BELT STRENGTH, BS, and STRENGTHFACTOR, S, may be found on the various Product Line
pages. If a belt rating is specified for the sprocket materialbeing used and the rating is lower that the belt rating, use thelower rating. The TEMPERATURE FACTOR, T, can befound in โTable 7 (T) TEMPERATURE FACTORโ . If aCENTER DRIVE is used, determine S by using the followingequation:
DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM SPACING OF DRIVESHAFT SPROCKETS AND RECOMMENDED
MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHAFT SPROCKETSTo determine the number of sprockets needed, you must firstdetermine the belt pull in relation to the available strength ofthe belt. Using the ADJUSTED BELT PULL andALLOWABLE BELT STRENGTH calculate theALLOWABLE BELT STRENGTH UTILIZED using thisformula.
Refer to the graph for the appropriate belt in Section 2 labeled"Sprocket Quantity as a Function of Belt Strength Utilized."
Use the ALLOWABLE BELT STRENGTH UTILIZED,ABSU, to find the minimum sprocket spacing in inches (or
meters). The number of drive sprockets required for aconveyor is determined by dividing the belt width in inches (ormeters) by the sprocket spacing and round up to the nextwhole number.
Idle Shaft sprockets on conventional conveyors normally areexposed to less tension than drive sprockets and, therefore,may operate with wider spacing. However, this spacing shouldnever exceed 6.0 in (152 mm) for all Series except Series 200where the maximum spacing should never exceed 7.5 in. (190mm). Specific recommendations for the minimum number ofIdle Shaft sprockets can be found in the appropriate sprocketsections of the โSection two: Product lineโ pages.
If the calculated ABSU is above 75%, please contact IntraloxCustomer Service Sales Engineering to run the IntraloxEngineering Program and verify your results.
CONFIRMATION OF SHAFT STRENGTH
Two important functions of the drive shaft, which must beanalysed before its ability to operate properly can bedetermined, are: (1) its ability to absorb the bending force ofbelt pull with an acceptable shaft deflection, and (2) its ability
to transmit the necessary torque from the driver withoutfailure.
The initial step here is to make a preliminary selection of ashaft size which fits your sprocket of choice. The shaft willbend or deflect under the combined loads of the ADJUSTEDBELT PULL, ABP, and its own WEIGHT. It is assumedthese forces are co-planar and can be combined into a TOTALSHAFT LOAD, w, determined by:
TheSHAFT WEIGHT
,Q
, can be found from โTable 8 SHAFT DATAโ (page 409). B represents the width of yourbelt.
SHAFT DEFLECTION
For shafts supported by two bearings, the DEFLECTION, D,can be found from:
MODULUS OF ELASTICITY (E) and
MOMENT OF
INERTIA (I) values can be found in โTable 8 SHAFT DATAโ (page 409) Ls is the unsupported span of the shaft betweenbearings.
MAXIMUM SHAFT DEFLECTIONRECOMMENDATIONS
As the drive shaft bends or deflects under heavy loads, thelongitudinal distance between the drive shaft and the idler shaftis less at the centerline of the belt than at its edges. This causesan uneven distribution of tension in the belt, the greatest beingabsorbed at the edges. Since the tension distribution is uneven,the load absorbed by the sprocket teeth is not equal. Intralox
has determined that satisfactory performance can be obtained
if shaft deflections do not exceed certain limits. These limitsare:
If the preliminary shaft selection results in excessive
deflection it will be necessary to pick a larger shaft size, astronger material or use intermediate bearings to reduce shaftspan.
DEFLECTIONS WITH INTERMEDIATE BEARINGS
With a third bearing , located in the center of the shaft , thedeflection formula to be used is:
In this case, Ls is the span between the center bearing and anouter bearing.
In cases involving very wide belts under heavy loads, it maybe necessary to use more than one intermediate bearing toreduce deflections to an acceptable level. Since the formulas fordeflections in these cases become complex and unwieldy, thedesigner can determine a safe, maximum span length for theTOTAL SHAFT LOAD, w, from Tables 11-A, 11-B, 11-C,
and 11-D (page 411).In using these charts the designer is reminded to firstcalculate the TOTAL SHAFT LOAD, w, (Formula 6). In thecase of Bi-directionals and Pusher Conveyors, theADJUSTED BELT PULL, ABP, must also be corrected forthe increased tension required. See Formula 5 for thecorrected ABP.
DRIVE SHAFT TORQUE
The drive shaft must also be strong enough to transmit thetwisting or rotating forces imposed by the drive motor toovercome the resistance of moving the belt and the product.The torsional action introduces shearing stresses on the shaft,
usually most critical in the bearing journals adjacent to thedriver.
Rather than require the designer to calculate the shearingstresses, โTable 9 MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TORQUE ON DRIVE SHAFTโ (page 409) has been developed to quicklydetermine the MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED DRIVESHAFT TORQUE for a given shaft journal diameter andshaft material. For example, assume your preliminary shaftselection is 2.5 in. (63.5 mm) and made of Carbon Steel. Sincethe maximum journal diameter is 2.5 in. (63.5 mm), themaximum recommended torque for this size is 22,500 in-lb(259,000 kg-mm).
The actual TORQUE, To, to be transmitted can becalculated from:
Compare the actual torque with the maximum recommended torque to determine if this journal size is adequate. If not, trythe next larger shaft size or a stronger material. If these are notpossible, try a smaller sprocket size.
In many cases, the actual torque will be considerably lowerthan the maximum recommended. If so, reducing the journaldiameter to an acceptable smaller size will reduce the cost ofbearings required.
DETERMINING THE POWER NEEDED TO DRIVE THEBELT
The POWER needed to overcome the resistance of movingthe belt and product can be calculated from these formulas:
Another version using different factors is:

DETERMINING DRIVE MOTOR POWERREQUIREMENTS
The power calculated to drive the belt does not include thepower to overcome the friction in gears, bearings, chains andother mechanical parts of the system. Refer to โSectionthree: Design guidelinesโ (page 375), for a listing of efficiencylosses in components in common use and increase the beltdrive power accordingly.
THERMAL EXPANSION (CONTRACTION) OFMATERIALS
As materials experience increases or decreases intemperature, their dimensions increase or decrease likewise.Conveyor belts which are installed at one temperature andoperate at another, or which pass through differenttemperatures in their operating circuit, will expand or contractaccordingly. Since plastics have relatively high rates ofexpansion (contraction), this characteristic must beconsidered in the application of these belts if significanttemperature changes are expected.
The change in the length, width or thickness of a material canbe determined from:
Coefficients of Thermal Expansion of variousmaterials may be found on page 395.
CATENARY SAG (see discussion in Section 3)
A belt hanging under the influence of gravity between twosupports will assume the shape of a curve called a โcatenaryโ.The specific dimensions of this curve will depend upon thedistance between supports, the length of hanging belt and thebeltโs weight.
In most cases, the actual shape of this curve is not important,but the conveyor designer is interested in two things: the excessbelt required and the tension created by the sagging belt.
The excess belt, X, or the difference between L and D in theabove illustration is found from:
The tension, T, created by a catenary section of belt, is foundfrom:

A beverage handler proposes to use Series 400 RaisedRib Polypropylene belting to carry steel cans, weighing 122 kg
per square meter, on a conveyor which is 18.3 m long and1.2 m wide. The belt will run wet on UHMW wearstrips at aspeed of 6 m per minute, frequent starts under load areexpected and the steel cans will โback-upโ a total of 15.2 m.The operating temperature is to be 82 ยฐC. A 12 tooth, 198 mmpitch diameter is preferred, and Carbon Steel shafts areacceptable.
The COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION, Fw, between the beltand the UHMW wearstrips, is determined from โTable 2 (F w )COEFFICIENT OF START-UP FRICTION BETWEEN WEARSTRIP & BELTโ (page 406) to be 0.11. TheCOEFFICIENT OF FRICTION, Fp, between the steel cansand the belt, is found from โTable 3 (F p ) COEFFICIENT OF RUNNING FRICTION BETWEEN CONTAINER & BELTโ
(page 406) to be 0.26.Since the steel cans will be backed-up 15.2 m, the percentage
of BELT AREA BACKED-UP is
Then the BACKED-UP PRODUCT LOAD, Mp, is:
Note: Since there is no elevation change, disregard the factorM x H in the formula.
Therefore:
The Service Factor, SF, is determined from โTable 6 (SF)
SERVICE FACTORโ (page 407) to be 1.2.Then:
The rated BELT STRENGTH, BS, can be found from
โTable 4 BELT STRENGTHS IN lb/ft (kg/m).โ (page 406) to be3,570 kg/m of width.With the operating temperature of 82 ยฐC, the
TEMPERATURE FACTOR, T, found from โTable 7 (T) TEMPERATURE FACTORโ (page 408) is 0.48.
To determine the STRENGTH FACTOR, S, first calculatethe SPEED/LENGTH ratio of 6.0/18.3 or 0.33. From page 71,S is 1.0.
Then:
Since the ABS exceeds ABP, this belt is strong enough for thisapplication.
From page 71, the MAXIMUM SPROCKET SPACING
should be about 70 mm.
Since this is a fairly wide belt, first try a 60 mm square shaft.The TOTAL SHAFT LOAD, w, is calculated by:
From โTable 8 SHAFT DATAโ (page 409), find Q, theSHAFT WEIGHT, to be 29.11 kg/m of length. Then:

For SHAFT DEFLECTION, assume first the shaft is to besupported by two bearings. Therefore, the DEFLECTION, D,is found from:
Since the belt is to be 1.2 m or 1200 mm wide, assume theunsupported LENGTH OF SHAFT, Ls is 1320 mm, and
from โTable 8 SHAFT DATAโ (page 409), the MODULUSOF ELASTICITY, E, and the MOMENT OF INERTIA, I, arefound to be 21,100 kg/mm and 1,080,000 mm4, respectively.Then:
Since this deflection is less than the recommended limit of2.5 mm, supporting it with two bearings is acceptable.
From the MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TORQUE curve,โTable 9 MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TORQUE ON DRIVE SHAFTโ (page 409), we see the maximum torque for a
journal diameter of 60 mm is 180,000 kg-mm. Therefore, theminimum journal diameter in this case should be about
55 mm.
Assume this conveyor will be driven by an electric motor,through a triple reduction, spur gear reducer, chain andsprockets. The shafts are supported by ball bearings. From thetable on page 377, the total of the efficiency losses in themachinery components are estimated to be 11%.
The MOTOR POWER is found from:
Therefore a 2 kW motor will be a good choice.

The environmentis wet, the temperature is ambient and belt speed is to be 75 ft/min. Wearstrip material is UHMW and the pre-selected belt is
a Series 800 Perforated Flat Top Polypropylene withflights and sideguards. The flight spacing is 8 in. The belt willbe started unloaded and run continuously. The preferredsprockets are 10 tooth, 6.5 in. pitch diameter. Stainless Steel(303) shafts are required.
Since there is no product backed-up, disregard Mp. FromโTable 2 (F w ) COEFFICIENT OF START-UP FRICTION BETWEEN WEARSTRIP & BELTโ (page 406), Fw = 0.11.
Service Factor is 1.4 (See โTable 6 (SF) SERVICE FACTORโ (page 407)), Elevating Conveyor).
Then:

Therefore:

Assume Ls is 28 in. From โTable 8 SHAFT DATAโ (page 409), E is 28,000,000 lb/in and I is 0.42 in.4.
Therefore:
which is less than the recommended limit of 0.10 in.
From โTable 9 MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TORQUE ON DRIVE SHAFTโ (page 409), a torque of 1,690 in/lbrequires a minimum journal diameter of about 0.85 in. with303 Stainless Steel, therefore, a journal diameter of 1.0 in. isrecommended.

In this case, a 1.5 HP motor will be a suitable choice.

STEP 1: DETERMINE THE BACKED-UP PRODUCTLOAD, Mp (Formula 1)
Mp = M ร Fp ร (Percentage of Belt Area Backed-Up

STEP 2: CALCULATE BELT PULL, BP (Formula 2)
BP = (M + 2W) ร Fw ร L + (M ร H)
M = 50 kg/mยฒ
W = 8.19 kg/mยฒ
L = 6 mFw = 0.19
H = zero

Therefore, since ABS exceeds ABP, Series 900 RaisedRib in Acetal is a suitable choice.
Since both the carryway and return way sides will be undertension, the idle shafts are to be treated as drive shafts forsprocket spacing and deflection calculations.
From the chart on page 145, the MAXIMUM SPROCKETSPACING is 95 mm.
Total Shaft Load, w, is:
A check of the Maximum Drive and Idler Shaft SpanLength, Table 11-C (page 411), reveals that the shaft load of507 kg applied to a 60 mm square Stainless Steel shaft. Thisallows a maximum span of about 2600 mm. Since thisconveyor is 2.4 m or 2400 mm wide, intermediate bearingsshould not be required.
CALCULATE DRIVE SHAFT TORQUE, To (Formula9):
From the chart of MAXIMUM RECOMMENDEDTORQUE, the minimum journal diameter for a torque of37,627 kg-mm would be about 27 mm. Since a 60 mm shaft isneeded, due to deflection, the journal diameter may be as largeas 55 mm, for example.
Refer to page 377, for efficiency losses in mechanicalcomponents. Assume the total of the efficiency losses for this
conveyor are determined to be about 25%. Therefore,MOTOR POWER is:
Therefore a 1/3 kW motor would be a good selection.

Note: Belts operating dry on a backed-up conveyor may, depending on speed and weight, wear a rough surface on the belting, which may
substantially increase the Coefficient of Friction.
a. Friction factor values are highly dependent on environmental conditions. The low value of the friction factor range is an experimentally derived friction factor fornew belting on new wearstrip. This value should only be used in the cleanest environments or where water or other lubricating agents are present. Mostapplications should be adjusted based on the environmental conditions surrounding the conveyor.

Intralox recommends the use of retainer rings to fix thelocation of one sprocket on each shaft to limit transversemovement of the belt during operation. In many applications,spring-type rings are used with success; however these ringsrequire small grooves to be cut into the corners of the shafts. Insome applications where belt loads are higher and stresses inthe shaft are greater, the presence of ring grooves isundesirable as they create places where stresses areconcentrated. Therefore, it is recommended that
alternative retainer rings that require no grooves,such as the SELF-SET or SPLIT COLLAR rings, beused in these cases.
Refer to the chart below for recommended limits of BELTPULL versus SHAFT SPAN BETWEEN BEARINGS todetermine if retainer ring grooves should be used. For a givenshaft size and span, if the BELT PULL, BP, exceeds the valuesshown, select a ring that requires no grooves in the shaft.

In order to go around a 0.875 inch nosebar and achieve self-clearing dead plates, the Series 1100 Flat Top/PerforatedFlat Top belt does not have a sealed edge. To accurately sizethe fan, both airflow through the belt and edge loss of airflowmust be considered. This example describes how to s ize the fan
flow required for the Series 1100 Perforated Flat Topbelt.
For a 30 inch wide belt that is 10 feet long, under a vacuum of4 inches of water, the area under vacuum is 25 square feet. Thelength under vacuum is 10 feet. As per the Airflow Table, at a
vacuum of 4 inches of water, airflow is 450 SCFM per squarefoot through the belt and 110 SCFM per linear foot for theedge. SCFM = (square feet belt under vacuum ร airflowthrough the belt) + (linear feet belt ร edge loss). Therefore,
total flow is (25 ร 450) + (10 ร 110) = 12,350 SCFM.

The chemical resistance data presented in this table is basedon information from polymer manufacturers and previousIntralox field experience. The data is indicative only for theconditions under which it was collected and should beconsidered as a recommendation only, not as a guarantee. Thisdata pertains to chemical resistance only, and the temperatures
listed are generally the chemical temperatures. Other designand personal safety concerns were not considered in makingrecommendations. Prudent application engineering dictatesthat materials and products should be tested under exactintended service conditions to determine their suitability for aparticular purpose.
Chemicals listed without a concentration are for theundiluted chemical. Chemicals listed with a concentration arein solution with water. Descriptions in parenthesis are theactive ingredient. In general, as the temperature of anapplication rises, the chemical resistance of a materialdecreases. Additional information about chemicals and
materials of construction not listed may be obtained bycontacting Intralox.Thermoplastics Elastomers (TPE) are a growing class of
polymers that offer a unique combination of plastic andelastomeric properties, the most obvious of which is the abilityto be injection molded onto a substrate for achieving somesought after performance criteria. The fact that a rubber
(elastomeric) component is present means that the exposure to various chemicals in the application needs to be considered.Sources of chemicals include the product to be conveyed, thematerials used to clean and maintain the equipment and belt,along with any other potential sources in the area. It isIntralox's suggestion that appropriate testing be done and
consultation with our staff of experts be made early on in orderto establish fitness for use n a particular application.In general,TPEs are quite compatible with both weak acids and mostalkalis. Alcohols too are known to have little to no effect.Contact with strong acids will pose a problem. With a rubbercomponent present, oils and fats will have a swelling effectover time while organic solvents and a variety of hydrocarbonscan be expected to cause problems as well. Generally speaking,fuels of any type will cause problems over time. When it comesto food handling, make sure that the ingredients present in thefood are considered and always know that the higher thetemperature, the more rapid the reaction between the
