3.7 Inspection – slide rails, beams, idlers, bends
3.7.1 Checking slide rails
The condition of the slide rails is fundamental to the functioning of the in-
stallation. It is therefore essential that these are in good condition.
3.7.1.1 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 conveyor with the chain in place.
Replace the slide rail if necessary, see “Replacing the slide rail”, beginning
on page 22.
• 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.
