Type: Operating instructions

FLEXCO RMC1/RMC1-LS Skirt Clamps are a reliable and efficient solution for sealing the gaps between conveyor belts and the skirting boards that line the sides of the belt. By preventing material from spilling or becoming trapped, these clamps help to keep your conveyor system running smoothly and efficiently.

Made from high-quality materials, FLEXCO RMC1/RMC1-LS Skirt Clamps are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of industrial environments. They are easy to install and adjust, making them a versatile option for a wide range of applications.

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 rubber 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” (31mm), hold a

clamp plate up on the clamp pin to be sure the

clamp bar will have the backing of the skirt

board to clamp the skirt rubber against. If not,

adjust the line for mounting the clamp pins

upward accordingly.

2. Select the spots to weld the two clamp pins. The

optimum position for each clamp pin is 1’ (300mm) in

from each end of the 4’ (1200mm) clamp bar (Fig. 2).

If an obstruction prevents this positioning, move that

clamp pin as needed. NOTE: Determine the best di-

rection the wedge in the clamp pin should be in for

easy access. Once the pin is welded to the skirt

board the wedge direction is xed.

4. Assemble the clamp plates and the clamp bar.

Slide the clamp plates over the clamp pins and mount

the clamp bar under the plates (Fig. 4).

3. Weld the clamp pins. Clean the surface of the skirt

board around the areas where the pins will be welded.

Weld the base of the pin securely since this is the main

support for the skirt clamp (Fig. 3). A 1/4” weld all the

way around is recommended.

5. Position the skirt rubber (not included) between the

clamp bar and the skirt board. The skirt rubber 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.

6. Fasten the clamp plates and the clamp bar together.

Tack weld the clamp plates and the clamp bar together

(Fig. 6). This will make it easy to do future adjustment of

the skirt rubber.
