Belt inspection is the foundation of predictive maintenance activities on the conveyor line!

At the waste recycling plant, many conveyor belts are in operation and running without interruption. During regular maintenance work, all conveyor belts are inspected for predictive maintenance. Until now, we have relied on the conveyor manufacturer for inspection work, but due to high labor costs and some dissatisfaction with the inspection items, we have sought your advice. Issues: 1. The inspections conducted by the conveyor manufacturer are based on standardized inspection items, which do not take into account the characteristics of the line, leading to dissatisfaction. 2. We cannot confidently request inspections from general machinery installation contractors, as they likely have limited experience. 3. We would like any repair work that can be done on-site (such as replacing worn parts) to be carried out simultaneously whenever possible.

basic information

At Kamata Industrial, we have traditionally conducted inspection work on conveyors and belts across various industries and sectors. This time, we started by checking the site and, in consultation with the customer, created an inspection menu and inspection sheet. In particular, we set up the inspection to be more detailed than the conventional menu, especially for checking the deterioration of the belt and the tension of the chain. Additionally, we prepared in advance to carry out minor tasks that could be addressed on-site simultaneously with the inspection work (such as roller replacement, belt cleaner replacement, skirt height adjustment, sprocket alignment correction, chain tension adjustment, and tracking adjustment). The report clearly states the values and conditions before the inspection, after replacement, and after adjustment work, so that it can serve as a reference for future parts replacement schedules. Key Points: 1. Conduct parts replacement work simultaneously with inspection work. 2. In addition to measuring the remaining thickness and checking the endless part of the belt, also confirm the condition of the cleats and the degree of surface hardening.
