50 Maintenance

Lower Seal Pad: Periodically check lower seal pad integrity.

Conveyor Tension:
Check the belt tension of the conveyor occasionally to
ensure that it is not excessive, as this will cause unnecessary wear. See the
instructions for Conveyor Tension Adjustment in the previous section if
necessary and for proper belt tension.
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 a new belt to ensure that
all the teeth are aligned. (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.
• To replace a belt section See the Belt Assembly and Belt Disassembly
section that begins on page 51 and outlines procedures for Belt
Disassembly on page 51.
