Five ways to keep your conveyor components running smoothly….
- Give attention to components that can wear off easily, such as the bearings, motor cover, air compressor, belt, and the magnetic conveyor slider bed. Keep your bearing in check and make sure they don’t overheat. When they become too hot, it is a sign that they need some repair or replacement.
- Inspect your conveyor system on a regular basis. Basic components should be check before and after shift to ensure safety operations. Just take a walk around and observe for some leaks. Listen to the conveyor as it functions. Does it have funny or quirky noises? Look at the condition of the components of the basic parts that are running all the time. Are they wearing off?
- Replace old motor parts to prevent malfunctioning while in the operation. Make sure to clean the oil and gear lube to prevent lump from forming and blocking the conveyor passage.
