How to maintain and repair Scraper Conveyor Chain?

Scraper conveyor is widely used in food, cement, metallurgical and other industries. In the process of transporting materials, it is easy to mingle with impurities, which can cause wear of the chain. How to maintain and repair scraper conveyor chain properly? We will make a brief introduction as the following:
1.It is necessary to ensure that all pins and pin screws are fastened in place before using scraper chain conveyor. The tension of pin and the required torque, must be regularly checked and keep maintenance records;
2. In order to keep it running in good condition, please check and measure it periodically. Once scraper chain slack is found, or abnormal sound of guide rail rack hitting , please adjust the tension of chain in time;

3.When replace the chain, ensure the chain with the chain joints can move freely;
4. Check whether the head of scraper chain conveyor parts deformation or falls off or not.

 

What is the operation note of scraper conveyor?

Before using the scraper conveyor, we must understand the characteristics of the conveying material, material with big lump, density and moisture content is not allowed to convey. Each type of scraper conveyor has it specific capacity, the conveying efficiency will be highest when casing is filled with material. In the process of using scraper conveyor, if the operation is inappropriate, it will make the motor overload and affect the production, so please note the following points concerning the operation:
Operation notes before start-up
1. Check if the of central slot buckle connections are in good condition;
2. Check if the oil amount of lubrication part is enough;
3. Check if the connecting bolts of the head and tail section are firm;
4. Check the tightness of the scraper chain;
5. Check the cable and joint are in good condition;
6. Check if the sound is normal during operation;
7. After the completion of checking all above mentioned items, then the scraper conveyor can be put into use.

 

Operation notes during running
1. Check the cooling water ,gearbox and motor temperature during running at any time;
2. Check the if there is any abnormal sound of gearbox and other transmission components;
3. Idling running for several cycles before stopping the scraper conveyor in order to discharge the material inside the conveyor which is convenient for maintenance and another operation;
4. Material flow should be uniform in order to avoid overload operation;
5. Please observe if there is chain jumping during the operation of the scraper conveyor, once happens, please stop and check immediately.
