6 Technical maintenance
Technical maintenance is an important part of this manual.
Good maintenance will prolong the life of the Spiral Elevator and help to
reduce any costs resulting from breakages or downtime.
This section includes a troubleshooting list in section 6.3 and a
maintenance schedule in section 6.4.
Before any maintenance functions are carried out on the Spiral Elevator the
power supply to the gear motor must be safely isolated.
6.1 Check and control procedures
6.1.1 Checking conveyor plates
As a result of products becoming jammed the conveyor plates may partly
break off or be pushed from the conveyor chain.
If missing or broken conveyor plates are detected, these are to be
replaced.
Figure 9 Conveyor plate broken
Dirt or product labels sticking to the conveyor plates may also make the
plates break or become loose. It is therefore strongly recommended to
regularly check and clean the Spiral Elevator.
