Cleaning
The chain conveyor should be cleaned regularly in order to avoid product mixtures,
formation of bacteria and damages of the product.
In order to avoid overheating, dust layers at motor and gears must be removed regularly.
At least once a year the chain conveyor should be cleaned and inspected for faults and
abrasion.
Cleaning is necessary when changing crops in order not to mix these.
When conveying highly adhesive products such as rape, corn, soya bean meal and the like,
all inlets and outlets must be controlled for free passage.
Check that the carriers are in good conditions and that the cleaning tape (belt) on every
fourth carrier is not defect, otherwise they should be replaced. Also, it must be checked that
the chain is not stuck.
During cleaning the precautions described under safety instructions are carried out.
