Capacitor
Chips
Corrective Action:
Clear chips and obstructions. Make sure the conveyor settings are optimized for the chips that are produced.
Belt Inspection
Corrective Action:
Inspect the conveyor motor capacitor for damage.
A damaged capacitor will usually have signs of
deformation or bubbling on the capacitor casing.
This could be caused by a short in the motor or in
the cable.
Open the motor junction box. Check the capacitor.
Look for burn marks on the case.
Measure the capacitor. Most multimeters can
measure capacitance upon manual activation (turn
to the correct units of measurement, and push the
yellow button). It should be 6 or 9 microfarad as
noted on the capacitor's case.
Corrective Action:
Inspect the conveyor belt for damage.
