What are the common problems with Chain Conveyor?

Chain Conveyor is a type of conveyor system that uses a chain to pull material along a series of chain links. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, agriculture, and mining.

What are the common problems with Chain Conveyor?

1. Chain slipping from sprocket

2. Chain breaking or stretching

3. Excessive noise from the chain

4. Overheating of the chain

How to troubleshoot these problems?

1. Check the tension of the chain and adjust it accordingly. If that does not work, try changing the sprocket size.

2. Replace the damaged chain with a new one. It is important to regularly inspect the chain for signs of wear and tear.

3. Lubricate the chain to reduce friction and noise. If that does not work, check the alignment of the sprockets.

4. A chain can overheat due to excessive friction or lack of lubrication. Make sure to regularly lubricate the chain and inspect it for debris that can cause friction.

Summary

Chain Conveyor is a popular conveyor system used in various industries. However, it is important to regularly inspect and maintain the system to prevent common problems such as chain slipping, breaking or stretching, noise, and overheating.
