FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF CONVEYOR
SYSTEM AND ITS COMPONENT
As far as
manufacturing is concerned, we all are well aware now that conveyor belt
systems have become an indispensable and non-negotiable component without which
manufacturing and warehousing is just not possible in today’s scenario. But how
often it is we consider the maintenance and check-up of the conveyors at
regular intervals, unless and until the
machinery breaks down and brings the manufacturing and material handling to a
standstill.
Conveyors also
known as material-handling equipment requires a comprehensive system at regular
intervals for its checkup and maintenance plan. All those moving components and
parts wear out over time. Bearings, rollers, belts, pulleys, magnets, and
motors etc. need inspection and occasional repair and replacement.
But What Are The
Factors To Be Considered Before Repair And Replacement Of Conveyor Parts?
Conveyor belts might
break in the middle of demanding production runs when downtime simply isn’t an
option and may lead to heavy losses and non-fulfillment of orders on time.
Fortunately, there are a few parameters which we can keep in mind and get to know when to go for repair and replacement options and ultimately will help your organization in running faster.
1. Service: Once the conveyor system is installed in the organization, make it a practice in your organization to get its services as and when scheduled without any fail and prior to its due date and maintain a separate record file for the same.
2. Feedback from the Operator: The technical head of the organization must get the regular feedback from the operators because they are the people who are dealing and handling the conveyor systems and are the best people who can give the exact details on how the conveyors are working and if they are facing any issues or not?
3. Timely Checkups: We understand that the check-up and maintenance is required but it is the time which matters the most. There is no point of maintenance when we ignore it for longer periods but till that time damage done is irreversible. So, ensure to get the machinery checkups at regular intervals.
4. Budget Allocation: When the machinery breaks down or any part or the component requires repair or replacement, it is obvious that it will be chargeable and would need some investment. Instead of arranging money at the last moment make it a habit of allocating a certain amount in advance for the repairs and replacements you might need for the entire year.
5. Choose a Trusted Conveyor Solutions Provider: Primarily choose the trusted brand for buying of conveyor systems because these are the machineries your processes are highly dependent upon. Check if they provide after-sales service or not. What are their annual maintenance charges and what all they cover in that?
Once the conveyors are installed, keep in touch with your service provider to know about the latest trends, new conveyors, new technology, and any schemes or annual packages they are offering.
Share the problems you are facing and let their team guide you whether you would require repair or replacement and take the action accordingly.
6. Ensure Careful Handling of Conveyors: Do not take conveyor handling very lightly because many a time we have seen Conveyors are often misapplied for a variety of reasons, including the desire to keep the number of unique pieces of equipment to a minimum, going against the speed limit or weight capacities mentioned or overcrowding the conveyors as these things when practiced for longer periods of time damage the machinery badly and ultimately results in breakdown, slowdown resulting to a loss of money, production, and time.
