Conveyor and method thereof

A tensioner assembly configured to be coupled to a roller shaft of a conveyor, the tensioner assembly comprising:

• a tensioner configured to be movably coupled to a side rail of the conveyor;
• a bracket configured to be rigidly coupled to the side rail;
• a spring positioned between the tensioner and the bracket, wherein the spring is configured to compress when a tension of a conveyor belt is increased by the tensioner assembly;
• and
• an indicator configured to be positioned parallel to the spring, wherein the indicator is configured to indicate the tension of the conveyor belt.

A method comprising:

• coupling a roller shaft to a side rail;
• positioning a conveyor belt around the roller shaft;
• movably coupling a tensioner to the side rail;
• rigidly coupling a bracket to the side rail;
• compressing a spring when the tension of the conveyor belt is increased by a tensioning assembly, wherein the spring is positioned between the tensioner and the bracket;
• and
• indicating, via an indicator, the tension of the conveyor belt, wherein the indicator is positioned parallel to the spring.
