Inspection – slide rails, beams, idlers, bends
Checking slide rails
The condition of the slide rails is fundamental to the func-
tioning of the installation. It is therefore essential that
these are in good condition.
Checking the slide rail with the conveyor chain in place
The slide rail must be checked after every 250 hours’
operation. Carry on the checking on a stationary con-
veyor with the chain in place.
• Check the fastening points on the slide rail.
• Check the joints on the slide rail.
• Check that there is a gap between the slide rails and
that the joints are correctly fitted.
• Check that the joints are not deformed.
• Check that the slide rail has not been broken off.
Replace the slide rail if necessary, see “Replacing the
slide rail”, beginning on page 14.
Checking the slide rail, conveyor chain removed
At least once a year or after every 2 000 hours’ operation,
the chain should be removed from the beam, and the
slide rail carefully checked for wear and fastening.
Plain bends should be checked after every 500 hours’
operation, since these are subjected to higher loads.
• Carry out the same checks as were carried out during
“Checking slide rails with the conveyor chain in place”.
• Check the slide rail for wear and tear.
Note
Check in particular the inner slide rail in plain bends,
since the stresses here are particularly high.
• Check the slide rails for scratches and notches.
• Replace the slide rail and fasteners if necessary, see
“Replacing slide rails” on page 14.
Wash the conveyor chain.
Conveyor beams, idler ends, and bends
The conveyor beams themselves do not normally require
any regular inspection. Be observant for damage arising
from external factors, warping or deformation. Deforma-
tion can cause the conveyor chain to jam, resulting in
uneven running.
Idler ends and wheel bends do not normally require
any special inspections, but they should be checked
when the slide rails are inspected.
Large radius plain bends may have inner support rails
fitted to the beam. Ensure that these rails (if fitted) are not
worn, paying particular attention to the “lead-in” area.
