INSPECT CONVEYOR DRIVE CHAIN FOR TENSION & LUBRICATION
FIGURE 3-21
FREQUENCY:
Conveyor drive chain inspection should occur MONTHLY or as needed. Lubrication
should be undertaken at least SEMI-ANNUALLY.
METHOD:
• Remove the conveyor motor drive chain guard.
• Visually inspect conveyor drive chain(s) for suitable chain tension and lubrication. Drive chain tension
should have a small amount of slack or sag, approximately half (0.5) an inch. DO NOT over tension.
• If required, lubricate the drive chain with a food safe chain oil.
• To correct the drive chain(s) tension see STANDARD CONVEYOR DRIVE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY or SPLIT-
BELT CONVEYOR DRIVE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY, for further instruction on how to adjust.
CAUTION:
• Chain guards should remain installed at all times during oven operation. Failure to do so will leave moving
parts uncovered and will expose the operator to potential injury.
• Over tensioning over the conveyor drive chain can put undue stress on the conveyor motor, it can also
make belt frame removal very difficult.
• Under tensioning over the conveyor drive chain can cause the drive chain to gather on itself, causing the
chain to seize or jump, this can result in extended bake times and/or the conveyor motor jamming.
• Each sprocket and cog in the conveyor system utilize two (2) set-screws. Verify these set-screws are tight
and that each sprocket and cog are in a fixed to the shafts.
AREA OF OVEN:
• Front side of the control cabinet, under conveyor motor drive chain guard
