generally is effective in water at temperature between 40ºF and 140ºF
(Must be minimum 70ºF if sanitization is required. Note: A lubricating type
detergent is not required for proper belt operation). Detergent Housing, if

C. Access for Servicing
1. Hinged Side Panel
For most conveyors, access to the lower section requires simply

Conveyors equipped with the optional belt wash/rinse feature and an
external scrap basket, have a plate that is removable (with tools) on the
side of the tank to facilitate access to the bearings, sprocket, shaft and
plumbing. Turn off all power to the conveyor before removing the access
plate. [See fig. 5.6].
