E401 V Plough
APPLICATIONS
The Brelko V-Plough is designed to be easily installed in a trailing configuration on the inner surface of a conveyor belt return strand just before any nip position to remove and thus prevent any material which has spilled onto the inner surface from being carried into the nip.
Where material can only be discharged on one side of the conveyor belt use the Brelko E50 1 angle plough.
FEATURES
Unique track mounted scraping blade facilitates very easy and quick blade change.
Parallel tri-link mounting allows the plough to move freely thus maintaining contact with
the belt.Specially formulated PU blades ensure maximum blade life and minimum belt wear.
Unique bolted assembly results in compact packaging for easy transport and installation.

E401 V PLOUGH - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Referring to the parts list (DRG BSO21-B) check that the correct parts and quantities have been supplied for the model and belt width plough ordered.
2. Slide the two slotted side members (1) over the moulded nose piece (6) and bolt together at the nose end using the chain link and washers as spacers
3. Fit the cross brace (2) (two off on larger ploughs)
4. Slide in the two side blades (7)
Note: Above 750mm size ploughs these blades are also available in 100mm height for confined space installations.5. Lock the blades in position using screws and locknuts.
6. Assemble the mounting frame.
7. Fit the three links (5) to the support frame.
8. The complete assembled frame can be rotated to fit on top of the conveyor stringers or underneath the top and bottom flanges of the stringers.
These options depend on the position of the return side of the conveyor belt, the use of decking plates and crossbraces in the conveyor structure.
9. Once the support frame is fitted to the structure the plough can be attached to the links.
Note: If the belt is not parallel to the stringers then the nose or tail must be lowered by using optional connecting link offsets (8).E 401 V PLOUGH - INSTALLATION GUIDE - REF. DRG BS022-A

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The plough is intended for removing loose material on the inside of the return side of the conveyor belt ahead of take-ups, drives and tail pulleys.
2. Refer to the assembly instruction parts list and DRG BSO21-B to confirm that all the necessary parts have been supplied and that the plough is correctly assembled.
Note: The plough mountings can be reversed giving three possible mounting positions on the conveyor stringers, to suit different return belt positions relative to the stringers.
3. If the return belt is not parallel to the stringers the nose or the tail of the plough can be lowered by installing optional connecting link offsets which must be ordered separately. (Up to 10 deg from parallel can be accommodated).
4. With reference to the DRGs select the most suitable positions for the plough which should be with the connecting links near horizontal. Mark out and make the mounting holes (to suit M12 bolts).
5. If mounting on the inside of the stringer web is required the use of tapered washers may be required.
6. Fix the mounting frame firmly in position.
7. Ensure that the plough is securely linked to it's frame and that it is free to move up and down to follow the belt movement.
8. Attach the safety chain to the nose of the plough. Make an attachment point on the conveyor frame above and ahead of the plough.
9. Attach the other end of the chain to the conveyor frame and allow only sufficient slack in the chain to accommodate wear of the plough blades, and to prevent the plough frame from touching the belt.
10. Check that the plough is central on the belt and free to move up and down and that all bolts, nuts, links and shackles are securely fastened.
11. Start the conveyor and check for even contact of the blades with the belt and that the plough is moving freely with the belt.
12. The conveyor belt should be flat at the plough position.
If necessary install flat return rollers ahead and behind the plough.
13. The flat bar between the side mount fixing holes may be removed after filling the plough if they interfere with other structural items.
