Mesh belt conveyors are custom-made products, tailored to different operating environments and purposes. Mesh belt conveyors with lengths ranging from 1 to 10 meters can be supplied as complete units; they can be operated simply by connecting them to a power source. However, conveyors longer than 10 meters must be shipped in sections. In the use of mesh belt conveyors, we should carry out the following maintenance tasks. 1. During operation, the mesh belt conveyor should be supervised by designated personnel. The attendant must possess general technical knowledge and be fairly familiar with the performance of this conveyor. 2. Enterprises should formulate “equipment maintenance, inspection, and safe operating procedures” for conveyors, so that supervisors can comply with them. Guardians must have a shift-handover system. 3. The feeding to the mesh belt conveyor should be uniform; excessive feeding must be avoided, as this could cause the feed hopper to become clogged with material and overflow. 4. During the operation of the conveyor, unauthorized personnel must not approach the machine ； No person shall touch any rotating parts. In the event of a malfunction, operation must be immediately stopped to eliminate the fault. Any defects that cannot be immediately rectified but have little impact on operations should be documented for correction during maintenance. 5. When supervising the conveyor, regularly observe the operation of all components and check all connecting bolts; tighten any that are loose in a timely manner. However, when the conveyor is prohibited from operating, clean and repair its moving parts. 6. The screw tensioning device installed at the tail end should be adjusted appropriately to ensure that the conveyor belt has the proper tension for normal operation. Supervisors should regularly monitor the operation of the conveyor belt. In cases where there is local damage, a decision must be made—based on the extent of the damage (i.e., whether it affects production)—as to whether to replace it immediately or wait until maintenance time to install a new one. The removed conveyor belt should be repurposed depending on its degree of wear. 7. When inspecting the pipe network belt conveyor, one should observe its operating condition, perform cleaning and lubrication, and carry out miscellaneous tasks such as checking and adjusting the screw tensioning device. 8. Under normal circumstances, the mesh belt conveyor should be started when unloaded and stopped after all materials have been discharged. 9. Apart from maintaining proper lubrication during operation and replacing any damaged parts as needed, the conveyor must undergo a comprehensive overhaul every 6 months of operation. During maintenance, any defects observed during use and documented must be eliminated; damaged or worn parts must be replaced, and lubricating oil must be changed, etc. 10. Enterprises can determine the maintenance cycle based on the operating conditions of the conveyor.
