There are few things more frustrating than unexpected downtime. It’s not only expensive – it also throws planning out the window and puts pressure on both people and machines. Many of the problems we encounter could actually be avoided with simple checks. But in a busy day, it’s easy to skip the little checks – until something goes wrong.
That’s why we at ABC Industrigummi have created a service checklist that makes it easy for you and your people to keep the system running – without you necessarily having to call us every time.
Our checklist is designed for maintenance managers and site managers who want to be able to service their conveyor systems themselves. It helps you spot faults and wear before they develop into real problems.
The checklist covers mechanics, belt flow, motors, gears, safety and visual inspection – and everything that typically causes breakdowns.
In other words: It’s not rocket science, but it is effective.
The goal of the checklist is not to replace professionals – but to make it easier to act in time before a major repair is required.
And you don’t need advanced tools. If you have a flashlight, measuring instrument, mobile phone and a little common sense, you’re already well on your way.
Here are some of the key points from the checklist:
Belt running and tensioning – misalignment causes unnecessary wear on both belts and rollers
Rollers and drums – must run smoothly and without noise
Gears and motors – listen for abnormal noises and feel for heat
Bearings – lubricate them in time and avoid overheating
Safety and emergency stop – no system is safe if the emergency stop does not work
Signs and screens – must be intact and visible
If you have belt scrapers or plow scrapers, it is also important that they are cleaned regularly – otherwise you risk accumulation and jammed items.
We recommend that you inspect the facility. every 2,000 operating hours – or more often if it runs in harsh environments with a lot of dust, moisture or heavy load.
Make it part of your regular maintenance. It doesn’t take long, but the benefits are great: less downtime, longer life and safer operation.
We have created the checklist because we want to make a difference for you in your everyday life. Not to sell more services – but so that you can use us when it really matters.
We know that a lot can be done internally if you just know what to look for. And you can do that with our checklist in hand.
The checklist is ready for you as a PDF and can be printed, shared or used digitally. It works for both ABC Industrigummi plants and many other standard plants.
If you have any questions or would like a review with our people, you are always welcome to contact us. We help with both spare parts and service solutions – when you need it.
You should know that if you don’t think you have the opportunity, time or know-how to carry out service and safety inspections on your conveyor systems yourself, you can always sign a fixed or proactive service agreement with us.
