Maintenance   25 

  Check the condition of the power cord for wear, especially if it is exposed to traffic. 

 

  Check that the tunnel is able to maintain the set temperatures. If not, refer to the 

Adjustments Section of this User Guide for instruction. 

 

  Check that you are able to vary the conveyor speed. If not, refer to the 

Adjustments Section of this User Guide for instruction. 

 

  Check for overall wear  on dead roller guide rails and starter rails. Repair as 

needed. 

 

  On plastic belt conveyors, check the condition of the plastic belt. Repair or replace 

as needed. 

 

  Check the condition of all warning and instruction labels. Replace as necessary. 

 

Preventative Maintenance for Modular Plastic Conveyor 
Belts 

 

Modular plastic conveyor belts typically do not require day-to-day maintenance and are 

generally trouble-free when installed and operated properly. 

 

Following are a few recommendations to obtain maximum life of the belt and avoid 

down-time. 

 

  Check belt tension on a routine basis (weekly or monthly) to ensure proper drive. 

Adjust screw take-up if necessary. (Belts experience thermal expansion while hot.) 

 

  Sprocket alignment should be checked before installing the belt to ensure that all 

the teeth are in line. (A misaligned sprocket can cause the belt to break or go off 

track.) On round-bore sprockets, it is good practice to check the keyways and 

tighten keyway setscrews when required. 

 

  If a small section of the belt or a module breaks, it is important to replace it as soon 

as possible. Failure to do so  could incur further damage to the belt. Try to 

determine the cause of the break before restarting to avoid the break from 

happening again. 

 

Make sure that when you join the belt, the metal connecting rod is locked in with a 

plastic tab. 

  To replace a belt section  See the  Belt  Assembly and Disassembly  section 

that begins on page 30  and outlines procedures  To assemble the belt  on 

page 30 and To disassemble the belt on page 31. 

  Remove a steel connecting rod by pulling it out from the left. 

  To  lock the tab in, put the tab in from the top of the belt and press it into 

place.
