Maintenance
During maintenance work, the precautions described in the safety instructions must be
observed.
The chain conveyor is worn, depending on amount of dirt in the material conveyed, and must
be checked once a year for abrasion or damages. Foreign objects, such as pieces of wood,
stone or iron, may cause damages.
If foreign objects are stuck in the chain conveyor, these can be removed by using
appropriate tools, but under no circumstance by your own hands. If necessary, disassemble
the chain conveyor. Parts that might be worn are replaced at the same time.
However, foreign object should always be avoided.
Please note that the safety of motors, gear and bearings is subject to compliance with
maintenance intervals/replacement.
The electrical motors are dimensioned in a way that they cannot be overloaded during
normal operation, if they have been correctly mounted and installed. The motor protection
circuit breaker will disconnect the power supply if the motor is overloaded or in case of
power supply fault. Fuses and motor protection circuit breaker must be controlled and
replaced by specially instructed staff if necessary.
The chain tension must be checked regularly at an interval of every 100 hours; this is done by
disassembling the covering plate at one of the center sections, and thus you can lift up the
chain and check the tension and the tightening of the chain.
