2 Important Safety Notice Always observe the basic rules of safety when working with any conveyor system. To avoid injury and equipment damage, be sure that all controls to the conveyor are locked out and the power source is disconnected at all times during installation. Overall View If mounting structure is not available, additional steel may have to be added. Note: Excess mounting tube may be trimmed after installation. Also note required lubrication of components.

3 1. Determine the Critical N Dimension Determining the "N" dimension, the distance from the belt surface to the mounting tube center, is critical to get the maximum cleaning performance from your system. Make sure mounting tube is clear of obstacles.

Select Correct Face the head pulley as the material would come to you. If the Roto- Twist tensioner is to your right side, then use the Silver (entire spring is silver-grey). If the tensioner is to your left, then use the Gold (yellow tipped spring). NOTE: when using the tensioner on a secondary or trailing cleaner the springs must be reversed. Gold Silver Gold (yellow) paint on tip of spring. Entire spring is silver-grey. 6. Assemble Tensioner NOTE: tighten all collar set screws to 70 ft-lbs 7. Install Skalper Blade NOTE: grease components as shown in Overall View ASGCO Mfg., Inc. 4 SKALPER III

5 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE Tension 30 1.) Set tension with approximately one (1) lb. of force per inch of blade width. Approximately 30 lbs. of force for a 30" blade. For the standard duty spring use approximately 1 ft.-lb.. of torque per degree of rotation. For the heavy duty spring use approximately 2 ft.-lbs. of torque per degree of rotation. Decrease or increase as necessary. The minimum amount of blade force required to clean the belt will extend blade life. The tensioning tools may be used to get approximate blade tension. Use the torque wrench adapter to accurately tension the blade. Tensioning Tool Tensioning tool in outer collar holds blade against the belt and may be released to insert locking pin. Tensioning tool on inside collar tension spring. Do not release until pinned. Torque Wrench Adapter 2.) Frequent inspections the key to proper belt cleaning and easy scraper servicing. Weekly inspections are recommended, but actual service frequency may vary widely depending on various plant operating conditions. 3.) Inspect the belt surfaces and edges for cracks, splits, tears, holes or any other worn or damaged condition occurring on the surfaces or edges of the belt itself. If necessary make repairs to the belt. Wash the entire cleaner regularly to prevent excessive build-up. Check the tightness of all fasteners. 4.) Inspect for proper operation. Adjust tension as required. 5.) Replace the Skalper scraper blade as required. Use only ASGCO Manufacturing approved replacement scraper blades. ASGCO Mfg., Inc. 5 SKALPER III

7 TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM Excess vibration of the scraper. SOLUTION Make certain all bolts are tight and the pin is securely engaged on the tensioner. Ensure the cleaners n-dimension is proper (See Table and Figure 1). Excess carryback. Check for excess build-up on the scraper. Check for proper scraper tension. Put additional tension on cleaner. Check for non-uniform scraper wear. Check n-dimension. Clean the back-side of the belt cleaner. Check for wear on the cleaning tips. Frozen material on scraper. Blade wearing in center Blade wearing more on one side Check thickness of carryback. If the cleaner must remove more than about 1/8 of material then an additional cleaner may be needed. Place heaters near scraper to melt frozen material. (Use caution not to burn belt or cleaner) BVW-6 BW-12 (Put a new blade on the concentrates cleaning in the center of the flow of the material. Check n-dimension. ASGCO Mfg., Inc. 7 SKALPER III
