Conveyor maintenance

摘要

Technological improvements and advancements in conveyor pulley designs can make maintenance easier. Performing maintenance on a conveyor can be simple or challenging depending on the application and the location of the components to be maintained. Often cranes, high-lift equipment, etc., are required to perform the most basic maintenance procedures such as changing a bearing or a coupling or replacing an old pulley assembly or idlers. Frequently, these simple, basic maintenance procedures become dangerous and difficult to perform, and the downtime required to complete them is increased all because of the location of these pulleys or the nature of the application.
