Visual Inspection

  • Examine each link closely for cracks or breaks.
  • Look for elongation or deformation of links.
  • Check for signs of excessive wear on contact surfaces.
  • Look for any visible bends or warps in the frame.
  • Check the alignment of the frame with the floor.
  • Ensure that the frame is level and securely mounted.
  • Inspect all bolts and fasteners on the conveyor.
  • Use a wrench to test tightness as needed.
  • Replace any missing fasteners immediately.
  • Check each guard for proper installation and tightness.
  • Look for signs of damage or wear on guards.
  • Ensure guards cover all moving parts adequately.
  • Remove any material that may be caught in the conveyor.
  • Check under and around the conveyor for debris.
  • Ensure the path is clear for smooth operation.
  • Check for signs of wear on the teeth of the sprockets.
  • Look for cracks or deformations in the sprocket body.
  • Ensure sprockets are securely mounted.
  • Inspect the tensioner for signs of wear or damage.
  • Verify that the chain tension is within specified limits.
  • Adjust tension as necessary to prevent slippage.
  • Inspect all metal parts for rust or corrosion.
  • Check welds and joints for integrity.
  • Clean and treat any areas showing corrosion.
  • Inspect wear strips for thinning or damage.
  • Check for proper alignment with the conveyor.
  • Replace any worn guides to ensure smooth operation.
  • Look for visible cracks or tears in the belt.
  • Check for frayed edges or separation in the layers.
  • Ensure proper tracking of the belt on rollers.
  • Spin each roller by hand to check for resistance.
  • Inspect for any visible damage or wear on rollers.
  • Ensure proper lubrication of roller bearings.
  • Verify that the chain runs straight on the sprockets.
  • Look for any signs of misalignment that could cause wear.
  • Adjust alignment as necessary to prevent damage.
  • Inspect lubrication points for any visible leaks.
  • Check the condition of seals around lubrication fittings.
  • Clean up any leaks and reapply lubrication as needed.
  • Check that materials align correctly with loading points.
  • Ensure discharge points are clear and unobstructed.
  • Look for any gaps that could cause material spillage.
  • Inspect wiring for insulation damage or fraying.
