Belt conveyors need to be maintained properly.
For decades, Norpak Handling has established itself as a premier supplier of material-handling systems – and as a team of experts in using them. Norpak knows maintenance is a critical factor, especially for belt conveyors, which deteriorate if users do not look after them properly. The company has specific, important advice on belt conveyor maintenance for customers who want their systems to last.
The most common issues
Because belt conveyors are essential to overall operations, users need to spot the common problems that occur well in advance and fix them early, to avoid needless downtime. Some of the common issues to look out for:
Inadequate belt conveyor maintenance leads to major problems like these, so Norpak recommends routine daily checks to ensure belt conveyors operate properly. The company suggests always keeping an ear out for abnormal or loud noise, for one. When the conveyor is shut down, this is an ideal time to look for and remove foreign material that may obstruct the flow of the conveyor line.
In addition, look out for any shavings or dust under the conveyor, as they are a sign of damaged components. Norpak also advises users to look for oil leaks around the reducer and roller axles. Finally, belt conveyor maintenance is best accomplished with a good preventative-maintenance program – like the one Norpak offers.
