Cleaning
This Conveyor will perform at its best when cleaned after each use. The Conveyor is built to wash-down
rated specifications, but some precautions need to be adhered to.
Recommended cleaning materials
▪
Rubber gloves
▪
Stiff plastic bristle brush
▪
70% rubbing alcohol, or citrus based cleaner , in a spray bottle
▪
ATTENTION
- Do not use alcohol stronger than 70%. Anything higher will have an
adverse effect on the components and cause premature breakdown. Use of high
content alcohol will void the warranty.
▪
Clean, low-lint rags
▪
Plastic Scraper or application squeegee
With the Conveyor and Machine powered off, remove the Shielding. Cleaning can be done with the
conveyor in the horizontal or tilted position. Use 70% alcohol in a spray bottle to spray down belt, Shield,
Wipers and Conveyor Frame. Use a stiff bristle brush to scrub components. Cleaning the Conveyor Belt is
easiest when tensioned on the conveyor frame. Use a stiff bristle brush to scrub the Conveyor Belt, then
rotate the belt by hand and repeat with additional alcohol. Depending on the amount of use or material
being transported it may be necessary to remove the Conveyor Belt to clean the underside of the
Conveyor Belt and the Conveyor Frame thoroughly. Do the same for any debris on the motor, coupler
assembly and Drive taking care to avoid spraying directly into electrical components. Once everything has
been scrubbed down, apply 70% alcohol to a clean rag and wipe scrubbed components until clean.
Pressure Washers
The entire machine may be washed using water from a hose. A Pressure washer can be used to clean
specific components. Do not direct a high-pressure stream at any electrical components, Drive, Control
Buttons, Motor, Cables or Bearings.
