FLEXCO RMC1 Bolt-On Pal Pak Skirt Clamps Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the instructions for the Flexco RMC1 Bolt-On PAL Pak Skirt Clamps. This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to properly install these clamps on a conveyor belt system, focusing on correct positioning and material securing. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about the installation or features discussed in the document.
  • What is the recommended spacing for the clamp pins?
    What size drill hole is required for the clamp pins?
    What should be done if the gap between the skirt board and belt is greater than 1-1/4"?
PHYSICALLY LOCK OUT AND TAG THE CONVEYOR AT THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE YOU BEGIN SKIRT CLAMP INSTALLATION.
1. Determine the correct position for the clamp
pins on the skirt board. Measure the height of
the skirt material and add 1/4" (6mm). Using this
dimension measure from the belt’s surface up the
skirt board and make a mark (Fig. 1a). Repeat this
several times down the skirt board and draw a line
connecting the marks (Fig. 1b).
NOTE: If the gap between the skirt board and
the belt is greater than 1-1/4" (32mm), hold a
clamp plate up on the clamp pin to be sure the
1" x 1" (25x25mm) angle will have the backing
of the skirt board to clamp the skirt material
against. If not, adjust the line for mounting the
clamp pins upward accordingly.

For best results:
• the belt should be supported directly under the skirt material.
• the clamps should be positioned so the skirt material meets the belt
2" to 3" (50-75mm) in from the belt’s edges.

2. Mark the spots to bolt on the clamp pins. The
recommended positioning for the clamp pins is
1' (300mm) in from each end of the system and
spaced every 2' (600mm) down the line (Fig. 2). If an
obstruction prevents this positioning, move the clamp
pin as needed but do not space pins more than 2'
(600mm) apart. NOTE: Determine the best direction
the wedge in the clamp pin should be in for easy
access. Once the pin is bolted to the skirt board
the wedge direction is xed.
4. Assemble the clamp plates and the 1" x 1"
(25x25mm) angle. Slide the clamp plates over the
clamp pins and mount your 1" x 1" (25x25mm) angle
under the plates (Fig. 4).

(14mm) hole at the spot marked for each clamp pin.
Screw hex head bolt and lock washer into the clamp
pin and tighten securely (Fig. 3).
5. Position the skirt material (not included) between
the 1" x 1" (25x25mm) angle and the skirt board.
The skirt material should be positioned to the top of the
belt. When in place, lock the clamps by hammering the
wedges on the clamp pins tight (Fig. 5). NOTE: A 1-lb.
hammer is recommended.
