Preventative Maintenance
Working with an efficient conveyor application not only enhances productivity, but also promotes a safer work environment. Since conveyors are driven by belts or chains, it is critical to ensure that routine preventative maintenance is performed to help reduce untimely breakdowns that can shut down your operation for repairs. This can result in the loss of thousands, if not, millions of dollars in revenue.
Following a comprehensive maintenance program can reduce untimely breakdowns. Below is an outline of a preventative maintenance checklist that can be used on most conveyor systems. These tasks should be done weekly, monthly, and quarterly by your maintenance staff.
Conveyability’s trained technicians can help you keep your equipment in top condition through regular machinery checkups and maintenance tasks. Preventative maintenance services may be scheduled according to a calendar or based on equipment operating time.
