Preventive Maintenance
General PM
Preventive maintenance will save expensive downtime, wasted energy costs and increase life
of components. An accurate record keeping system will track component servicing history.
Periodic maintenance intervals may vary with load, speed, hours of operation, ambient
temperature, humidity, etc. Intervals can be established by fairly frequent maintenance at first,
and then lengthens the intervals as justified by observation of need based on history. The
following schedule is based on 5 days per week, 8 hours per day operation under normal
conditions.
Daily
• Listen to everything for unusual noises or vibration.
• Visually inspect to see that conveyor sections are clear and free of debris.
• Check to see that all safety guards are in place.
• Check for loose bolts or parts.
• Listen for air leaks.
Weekly
• Check for proper PSI on air regulators.
• Check air filter bowls for accumulated water.
• Prohibit walking or riding on conveyor by anyone.
• Care should be taken when servicing any conveyor to
prevent accidental injury.
• All moving parts are potentially dangerous.
Air Systems
The best preventive maintenance for any air operated device is clean air. Dirty air will make
pneumatic devices sticky, and they will not operate properly. To ensure the continued
performance of filters, monitor filter / regulator bowl drain every week. To manually drain the
bowl, push the push button at the bottom of the bowl. Let all accumulated liquid drain until you
hear air escaping.
