How to Maintain and Repair a Telescopic Belt Conveyor?

Telescopic Belt conveyor and their primary components should undergo regular and thorough maintenance according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Routine checks, adjustments, maintenance, and cleaning of moving parts and cleaning devices should be conducted only when the equipment is stationary and the drive unit is turned off. All loading points, workstations, and pathways must be kept clean.

Telescopic Belt Conveyor Maintenance and Repair

1. Preventive Startup: Under normal circumstances, the Telescopic Belt Conveyor requires starting with no load and avoiding short-term starts.

2. Belt Tension Check: A screeching noise at the drive drum indicates belt slippage; the tension of the Telescopic Belt Conveyor belt should be checked.

3. Belt Joint Inspection: Conveyor belt joints should be regularly inspected, and any damaged areas should be promptly repaired.

4. Drum Rotation Check: Regularly check the rotation of drums and perform timely repairs.

5. Alignment Verification: Frequently inspect for conveyor belt misalignment and make adjustments promptly.

6. Track Clearance: No debris is allowed on the track of the walking wheels; regularly check and clear obstacles that affect the operation of the telescopic conveyor.

7. Protective Device Maintenance: All protective devices of the telescopic conveyor must be complete, and a designated person should perform regular inspections and calibrations to ensure their reliability.

8. Safe Operation: Inspection and adjustment operations during the operation or use of the telescopic conveyor must be carried out with protective devices in place. If some protective devices have to be removed, necessary precautions should be taken, and approaching hazardous areas should be strictly prohibited.

9. Safe Repairs: When repairing protective devices, it must be done when the conveyor is stopped, and the drive unit cannot be started. Before restarting, protective devices should be reinstalled. If maintenance must be carried out without protective devices, a guard must be present to watch over the personnel at work. The guard should be familiar with the measures to be taken in case of an accident and should be positioned close to where the equipment can be stopped at any time.

10. Lubrication: After the machine has been in use for the first 10 days, all friction points should be lubricated, and regular oiling should be performed.

11. Scheduled Inspections: After three months of use, the machine should undergo a partial inspection, minor repairs after six months, and major repairs (routine maintenance) after one year.

12. Idle Operation: After major repairs, the machine should undergo idle operation for 2 hours before being put into normal operation.

13. Vigilant Monitoring: In daily operations, observe the equipment’s condition at all times; immediately cease operations if any anomalies are detected, and notify professionals for repairs.

14. Caution with Controls: Exercise caution when operating electrical products on the control panel; avoid using sharp tools and corrosive substances!

15. Avoid Internal Alterations: The operation of this equipment has been designed and finalized, but internal circuits can be reconnected; do not arbitrarily alter the internal wiring of this equipment!

16. Preventive Item Removal: Ensure timely removal of items on the conveyor belt to prevent the accumulation of large quantities, which could increase friction and cause a shutdown.

17. Training Requirement: Personnel operating this machine must undergo professional training before being allowed to operate it!
