A brief discussion on the operating instructions for heavy-duty chain plate conveyors

Thread Content

1. The chain conveyor should be fed material as evenly as possible, and its maximum dimensions should remain within the controlled range. 2. It is not advisable to stop or start a chain plate conveyor when it is fully loaded. 3. The tension of the traction chain and the sleeve roller chain on the chain plate conveyor must be appropriate; therefore, regular inspections are necessary to allow for timely adjustments. Maintenance of heavy-duty chain plate conveyors: 1. The lubrication condition of the chain plate conveyor should be checked regularly, and lubricant should be added on a periodic basis. 2. When the reducer of the chain conveyor is first put into operation, the lubricating oil should be replaced after 7 to 14 days of use; thereafter, it needs to be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on the specific circumstances. 3. For chain conveyor systems, it is necessary to regularly check whether the bolts are loose, whether the bearing temperature is within acceptable limits, and whether the motor current exceeds the rated value; if so, the machine should be stopped for inspection. 4. The chain plate conveyor should be overhauled every six months, depending on its usage conditions, and a maintenance plan should be established to ensure the proper operation of the equipment.
