A flexible conveyor is a type of conveyor that uses chain plates as the load-bearing surface. The flexible conveyor is driven by a motor reducer and can transport more items by running multiple chain plates in parallel, widening the chain plate surface. Flexible conveyors have the characteristics of smooth conveying surface, low friction, and smooth transportation of items on the conveyor. They can be used to transport various canned items such as glass bottles, PE bottles, and cans, as well as bags, boxes, and other items.

1. Maintenance of gearbox

After using the flexible conveyor for the first time for three months, the lubricating oil in the gearbox of the machine head should be drained completely, and then new lubricating oil should be added. Pay attention to the amount of lubricating oil added. If too much is added, the gearbox may become too large, causing the electromechanical protection switch to trip; Too little can lead to excessive noise and the gearbox hanging and being scrapped. Replace the lubricating oil once a year thereafter.

2. Maintenance of Chain Plate

After prolonged operation, the conveyor chain plate will cause the original lubricating oil to evaporate, resulting in imbalances, high noise, and unsmooth product operation during the operation of the flexible conveyor. At this point, you can open the sealing plate at the tail of the machine and add butter or lubricating oil to the conveyor chain plate.

3. Maintenance of the mechanical and electrical components of the machine head

Water ingress into the electromechanical system and the addition of organic compounds such as diesel or liquids to the electromechanical system can cause damage to the insulation protection and lead to problems. Therefore, such situations must be prevented and guarded against.

Mechanical maintenance has always been a topic of frequent discussion in equipment maintenance. Proper maintenance of machinery and equipment can maximize the stable output of productivity and provide enterprises with efficient and stable production equipment. In the product conveying industry, it is also necessary to do a good job in the maintenance of flexible conveyors, because ensuring the stable operation of the conveyor can timely convey products and avoid excessive waste of productivity. Today, the editor will introduce to you the relevant maintenance work and details of flexible conveyors.

The flexible conveyor is supported by a standard chain plate and powered by a motor reducer; We can use multiple rows of chain plates in parallel to make the conveyor wide and form a differential speed. By utilizing the speed difference of multiple rows of chain plates, the multi row conveyor can be transformed into a single row conveyor without compression.

The chain plate production line equipment is easy to clean, and the surface of the line can be directly rinsed with water (but it should be noted that the power and control parts cannot be cleaned with water to avoid damaging internal components, electric shock, and accidents). To maximize the service life of the equipment, maintenance and upkeep are the key. Generally speaking, the motor in the power section needs to have its oil replaced in a timely manner after about a year of use to ensure optimal operation and reduce internal wear and tear. After using the chain plate production line equipment, the power should be turned off in a timely manner and the surface of the flexible conveyor should be cleaned for a period of time. When equipment needs maintenance, it should be carried out by professional equipment personnel and not by unrelated personnel to avoid unnecessary economic losses and safety accidents.
