Conveying with ease
denirug ® Heavy-duty support
Assembly, operating and insertion informations

1 General
All these instructions have only been drawn up by assembly,
operational and maintenance personnel that are technically
qualifi ed. Before assembling denirug ® heavy-duty supports
and operating the conveyor, please read these informations
carefully. This document contains safety instructions.
Two types of denirug ® heavy-duty supports are supplied:
– the basic denirug ® element;
– the denirug ® module.
These informations deal with both types. The principle stays
the same, but technical progress can mean changes in the
design.
2 Safety
2.1 Proper usage
denirug ® heavy-duty supports are roller elements for vertical
support of heavy loads in conveyors. The supports can be
retrofi tted in existing conveyors. Two types are supplied for
different purposes:
Basic denirug ® elements are for rolling support of fabric-based
conveyor belts and modular belts with a suitable underside.
denirug ® modules are modular belt sections on rollers for
fl exible support of heavy loads with a large contact area
(unit goods, containers, pallets, skids etc).
2.2 General safety instructions
denirug ® heavy-duty supports are state of the art and comply
with recognised safety regulations. If used improperly, risks
can occur. denirug ® heavy-duty supports may only be used
when in perfect condition. To avoid risk to the user or other
people and prevent damage, they may only be assembled,
maintained and operated by specially trained personnel.
Important instructions in the text appear as follows:
Caution
In this case, procedures must be fully complied with to avoid
damaging the machinery.
Warning
In this case, procedures must be fully complied with to avoid
damaging the machinery and/or putting the user or other
persons at risk.
All work with and operation of denirug ® heavy-duty supports
must be in compliance with:
– these regulations
– the conveyor's technical instructions
– all relevant statutory regulations and safety regulations.
Warning
Before carrying out any assembly, maintenance and
repairs, the conveyor drive’s master switch must be
switched off and prevented from being switched on
again. Where gravity conveyors are concerned,
the area must be cordoned off appropriately and
monitored.

4 Operation/maintenance/servicing
4.1 Operating conditions
denirug ® heavy-duty supports are not explosion protected
and are operated in the following ambient conditions:
– ambient temperature according to information
on the data sheet;
– normal atmosphere (no oil or gas atmospheres,
no corrosive atmospheric components).
There is no guarantee that the support will function properly
if used in temperatures below or above those specifi ed.
In certain conditions, static build-up can occur when using
denirug ® heavy-duty supports. In environments with explosion
risks, the appropriate regulations for components used
in such environments must be taken into account.
4.2 Maintenance
denirug ® heavy-duty supports require no maintenance
and no lubrication must be applied at all.

4.3 Servicing
➍
denirug ® heavy-duty supports should be looked at and
checked that they operate smoothly at regular intervals,
e.g. at the regular maintenance dates.
Jolting belts are probably the result of soiling. Loose particles
can be removed by careful air cleaning. Dirt that has stuck
can be removed with standard, mild cleaning agents.
If damage has occurred, or there are clear signs of wear
and tear, denirug ® elements must be exchanged. In the
case of denirug ® modules, the roller elements on the inside
(middle unit) can be completely exchanged.

5 Assembly instructions
Please note:
Geometrically, the conveying line must be correctly
positioned for the denirug ® heavy-duty support to
function reliably.
denirug ® heavy-duty supports can be assembled in different
ways (see sections 5.1 and 5.2). The following principles must
be complied with:
– Each denirug ® heavy-duty support is affi xed separately.
– In accordance with the subsequent load, the base must
be able to bear loads, horizontal and fl at. In the case
of gravity conveying, minimum inclination is required
and must be established by carrying out tests.
– The distribution of the denirug ® heavy-duty supports is
carefully planned separately according to the subsequent
load distribution. The loads stated in the data sheets must
not be exceeded. Support is often advisable in several
tracks, where the heavy-duty supports are fi tted behind
one another.
– The supports must be fi tted precisely in the conveying
direction. If there are several tracks, ensure they are
parallel.
– The supports are fi tted at the same height.
Warning
Before carrying out any assembly, maintenance
and repairs, the conveyor drive’s master switch
must be switched off and prevented from being
switched on again.
Where gravity conveyors are concerned,
the area must be cordoned off appropriately
and monitored.
5.1 basic denirug ® element
Basic denirug ® elements have drill holes (ø 12.5 mm) right
across the body which allow different affi xation methods.
– They can be affi xed with brackets on the base (fi g. 5. 1.1)
– They can be affi xed with each other to form extensive
structures, using threaded rods of appropriate sizes (1) and
tube sections (2). Sliding strips (3) are integrated directly
into the structure if required (fi g. 5.1.2).
Furthermore, basic denirug ® elements (for example in the case
of slider beds) can simply be placed in the recesses. The
support from below must be provided by a second base
(fi g.5.1.3).

5.2 denirug ® module
denirug ® modules have holes to affi x them (ø 9 mm) and can
be screwed directly to or fully bonded with the base.
5.2.1 Screw mounting
– Make drill holes on the base according to the module’s
hole pattern.
– Use an awl to push out a hinge pin on the modular belt;
take off the modular belt (fi g. 5. 2.1-1).
– Affi x denirug ® module securely with dowels/braces and
screws (fi g. 5.2.1-2)
– Attach modular belt and close with the hinge pin.
Please note: As an alternative to removing the modular belt,
the entire roller belt element with the modular belt can be
taken out of the body. To do so, unscrew the counter-sunk
head screws on the sides.
5.2.2 Bonded assembly
Double-sided acrylic foam tape (2 mm thick) is used in
bonded assembly.
– Mark the assembly position on the base.
– Prepare the areas to be bonded properly and stick the
module accurately onto the base.
Please note: As regards the optionally supplied adhesive tape
the bond will hold after 20 minutes (85% of the level of the
fi nal bond). After 72 hours the adhesive has hardened
completely.

5.2.3 Assembling accessories
Screw the side guidance plates (1) and end plates (2)
directly onto the already affi xed denirug ® module
(screws are included).
Feed ramps (3) are screwed directly in front of the module
on the base (affi xation holes ø 12 mm).
