Pallet conveyor systems make it easy for logistics companies and other businesses to package and transport their products quickly. However, conveyor system belts, parts, and other components will wear down and lose their capabilities in the future. If you've been using your existing system for a while, it's time to have them replaced when you see the following signs.
Loss of Belt Strength
A pallet conveyor can use fabric or rubber to avoid any slippage. Unfortunately, both materials are susceptible to possible rips and tears. Frayed fabric or rubber edges are not a cause of alarm, and your personnel can repair them during downtimes. However, significant rips can have belts lose tensile strength and affect your operations significantly.
Temporary Repairs Are Not Cutting It
If your pallet conveyor belt damage is not more than a quarter of the actual belt length, your personnel can still provide temporary repairs. You can have Norpak Handling's top-tier technicians handle the section re-splicing or saddling to help you save time and attain accurate results too.
Your Personnel Spend More Time Troubleshooting
If it's not the conveyor belt material, then it's the system. Automated systems with pressure plates, photo eyes, and other features need downtime maintenance as frequently as possible. However, if they're repeatedly failing to function as you expect or shutting down the entire system, then it might be time to have your system updated soon.
In Use For Over Ten Years
Pallet conveyors have materials that can last beyond ten years. However, extensive wear and tear during daily operations can accelerate the speed of degradation. It's safe to say that systems over ten years will have some issues brewing under the hood -- or may need immediate replacement.
