General PM
Preventive maintenance will save expensive downtime, wasted energy costs, and increase life of
components. An accurate record keeping system will track component servicing history.
TGW recommends periodic maintenance intervals. Inspection intervals may vary with load, speed,
hours of operation, ambient temperature, humidity, etc. Intervals can be established by starting with a
fairly frequent maintenance at first, and then lengthens the intervals as justified by observation of the
need, based on history. The following schedule is based on 5 days per week, 8 hours per day operation
under normal conditions.
Daily
• Listen to everything for unusual noises or vibration.
• Visually inspect to see that conveyor sections are clear and free of debris.
• Check to see that all safety guards are in place.
•
Check for loose bolts or parts.
Weekly
•
Check belt for wear and proper tension.
•
Check belt tracking.
•
Check belt lacing.
Monthly
•
Inspect Gearmotor for leaking seals and the breather plug for dirt and debris.
•
Inspect chain & sprocket, pulley, and belts. See below for details.
Semi Annual
•
Check the bearings for grease (Do not over grease).
• Inspect pulleys and rollers for build-up of debris.

A complete inspection of conveyor equipment, parts, and proper operations to include safety tests.

•
All moving parts are potentially dangerous.
