LOCKOUT
MACHINE
1. The following checks should be made regularly
in order to keep the conveyors in good working
order:
2. Observe all safety warnings.
3. Close down the machine and implement the
lockout procedure.
4. Ensure that central feed onto the conveyor belt
is maintained at all times and that the belt at the
point of feed is kept straight and central at all
times.
5. Inspect the skirt plate sealing strips and ensure
that they are adjusted close enough to the belt
to prevent spillage or material jamming between
the seals and the belt, but at the same time not
bearing hard on the belt.
n DANGER
Clip joints can be dangerous and should
not be used. Belt repairs/replacements
should be performed by vulcanising only.
Inspection of Conveyors
8. Check that there is no evidence of belt slip at the
driving drum, as belt slip will cause premature
wear on the belt. Check also for undue sag
between idlers. Both would indicate lack of belt
tension, refer to conveyor belt tensioning.
6. Check that the belt generally is running centrally
and straight on both the carrying strand and the
return strand. If not, refer to training of belts.
7. Inspect the condition of the conveyor belt
regularly and arrange for the earliest possible
repair of any damage which may have occurred
as this can make a worthwhile extension of the
useful life of the belt. Repair a cut or tear in
the rubber by cleaning thoroughly and plugging
with a rubber repair compound.
