Conveyor Maintenance

 
 
 
 

Conveyor Maintenance

     Effective operation and useful life of any equipment is directly related to the care and service it receives. A pre-determined maintenance schedule, including inspection, lubrication and cleaning should be established for each conveyor. Establish and maintain "Log Sheets" on each conveyor to record date and results of inspections, lubrication, and parts replacements. General inspections of all conveyors should be performed at regular intervals depending on use and service conditions.

Maintenance Intervals

     The following chart gives a brief overview of what maintenance should be performed on a
