Cleaning and Inspection
Generally, there are many reasons for cleaning:
To allow heat to dissipate (motors and gearboxes).
To prevent wear on moving parts.
To prevent binding.
For proper operation.
Operating personnel will treat clean equipment with more care.
Any prescribed cleaning schedule should be modified as experience is gained. A
thorough inspection should be performed while cleaning problem areas.
The total value of inspection procedures is determined largely by the consistency
and regularity of the schedule. A definite interval of inspection must be established
and obeyed. This is usually easier to accomplish if a "round robin" system of
inspection is used. It is recommended that a general inspection ensures a thorough
examination of each component and assembly contained in the system, and should
be performed at least once for each thirty-day period of operation. Results of these
general inspections should be documented in the conveyor record of the unit
inspected.
The probability of mechanical/electrical problems increases during periods of heavy
usage, so an additional inspection immediately before and after these periods is
recommended.

Preventive Maintenance Checklist
It is recommended a regular inspection schedule is established to monitor the
condition and operation of the conveyor to ensure proper performance, reduce
downtime, and promote long component life.
The following information is recommended maintenance based on an eight-hour per
day operation. An application may subject the equipment to conditions that would
necessitate more frequent maintenance. This may best be determined by performing
maintenance more frequently when the conveyor is first put into operation and then
lengthening the intervals based on experience.
