6.5 Operation of the floor conveyor
Works related to conveyor maintenance are based on:
• checking the front and rear socket wheels for cracks, visible damage and
hazardous pollution,
• checking the condition of the chain, support points and bearings of conveyor
parts, and whether there is visible damage,
•
checking whether “scrapers” for self -cleaning of socket wheels are positioned
centrally in the channel of a socket wheel and have no visible damage or wear.
•
checking the condition and proper tension of the chain.
This check is based on raising the chain at the center of its length from the top
upwards (on an area of floor), and determining the height of raising:
- if this height exceeds 100 mm and the tensioner is able to slide, adjust the
chain’s tension by fastening the nut on the tensioner.
- if the height of 100 mm is exceeded and there is no space for sliding of the
tensioner, shorten the conveyor’s chain by 2 links.
Shortening of the chain is based on:
•
unlatching the coupling link of the chain,
•
taking away 2 links so that the final link is in horizontal position (with its
hole facing up),
•
re-coupling the chain using the coupling link.
In case of insufficient effect of tension, this action should be repeated shortening
the chain by another 2 links. The chains must be shortened in pairs by the same
number of links.
Shortening should be done with extreme care while maintaining compliance with
basic occupational health and safety rules and using personal protective equipment.
NOTE!
NOTE!
It is essential before each use to check the tension of the chains
and their technical condition (the thickness of the links, whether
the links have visible damage)
