Special Attention on Scraper Conveyor Operation

Special Attention on Scraper Conveyor Operation

It’s better to learn the characteristics of conveying materials before scraper conveyor is put into use, especially cannot convey these materials which have large shape, density and water content. Different conveyor type has its certain capacity, the conveying efficiency can reach the highest value when casing is filled with material. Improper operation will influence the output when using scraper conveyor. So we must pay attention to the following notes.


Points for attention before start-up


1.Inspect whether the retaining ring in the middle trough is in good connection.
2.Inspect whether oil mass in all needed lubricating parts is enough.
3.Inspect whether all bolts in head and tail are fixed.
4.Inspect tightness of scraper chain.
5.Inspect whether all cables are in good condition.
6.Inspect whether the sound is normal when running machine.
7.Please run the machine after above mentioned notes are checked.

Points for attention during operation


1.Please check the cooling water, reducer gearbox and motor temperature at any time during operation.
2.Please observe whether reducer gearbox and other rotating parts have abnormal sound.
3.It’s better to idle several cycles before turning off machine so as to benefit next maintenance and start-up.
4.Must observe whether there is chain jumping situation during operation machine, once happens, please stop machine and maintain it right away.

Useful Ways to Scraper Conveyor Chain

Useful Ways to Maintain Scraper Conveyor Chain

It is well-known that scraper conveyor is widely application in cement, metallurgical and other industries. It’s pretty easy to mix with foreign objects during the conveying process which can lead to wear of the chain. Here PK Machinery will carefully illustrate methods to maintain scraper conveyor chain.

1.What should we do first is that to ensure all pins and pin screws are fixed before using scraper chain. Please make a regular check and keep maintenance records about the pins’ tension and their required torque.

2.Please check the scraper chain periodically so as to keep it running in a good situation. Once found that scraper chain is loose or there is abnormal sound caused by hitting guide rail rack, must please adjust chain tension timely.

3.Please ensure that connection between chains can move freely if change scraper chains.

4.Please check head part of scraper conveyor regularly to affirm whether it falls or not.
