Basic information like the length and width are usually straight forward and easy to answer. Often, both parties forget to exchange more detailed information. In the rush of ordering an incline conveyor, sometimes the pertinent questions are glossed over or entirely forgotten. Ignoring the details can result in a conveyor that is not capable of conveying your parts efficiently and damage free.  The most important conveyor component to specify correctly is the conveyor belt. In order to get the correct belt on your conveyor system, you will want to give the conveyor manufacturer as much information about the parts that you will be conveying on the conveyor. Sending product samples or even sharing a CAD drawing or picture of the product is extremely helpful. The conveyor manufacturer has the experience of looking at a part and determining if there is anything about it that will make it difficult to convey.  Sometimes a relatively large part has a small feature (think of a plastic syringe) that can get pinched between the sidewall of the conveyor and the belt drive flights. The pinching most likely will cause damage to your product. In this case, product damage can be eliminated by changing the standard indent (the distance between the side of the conveyor and drive flight) to a custom drive flight indent. The distance is decreased, so the drive flight almost touches the sidewall, eliminating the chance of your parts getting stuck.  Conversely, the indent can be increased to allow your parts to fall past the sidewall with no possibility of getting wedged. Additionally, the ends of the drive flights can be chamfered to any angle. This angle allows the part to ride up the moving drive flight and moves the part away from the sidewall, preventing product damage.  If all of your product information is shared on the front end, with an experienced conveyor manufacturer, you can be assured that when ordering an incline conveyor, you will get a conveyor system that will meet or exceed your expectations.

There are several things to consider when excessive conveyor belt wear becomes apparent.  Before spending the money to replace the belt, take the time to inspect the food conveyor.  Replacing the belt alone most likely will not solve the problem.  Don\u2019t throw money at the problem by replacing the sanitary food conveyor belt before investigating the problem.  Take the time to look over the conveyor and find the issue that is causing the conveyor belt wear.  Are you seeing excessive sanitary food conveyor belt wear?  If so, one of these six things are most likely your issue:  The belt is running under tension. Remove the tensioning device and run the belt loose. The belt is too wide for the conveyor frame dimensions. Replace the existing belt with one that has been trimmed to the correct dimensions (typically 0.25 inch (6 mm) trimmed from each side of the belt. The belt is binding in the conveyor frame. Check the conveyor frame to ensure it is level and square.  Look to make sure the sidewall frame isn\u2019t warped and make sure the removable retaining walls are seated properly.   If it\u2019s a flat conveyor, make sure the belt is running under the belt containment guides. Improper support on the returnway. Belts should be supported with returnway rails on both sides of the belt. The drive flights are contacting obstructions on the conveyor frame, returnway or adjacent equipment. Eliminate obstructions to the flight travel.  Check the conveyor frame to ensure it is level and square.  Correct any conditions causing the belt to run or bind.  Inspect for proper belt containment.  Check for proper belt containment and clearance at the position limiter. Product is being introduced to the conveyor at a high impact. Reduce or eliminate high product impact on the belt by slowly introducing your product with a chute or feeder. It\u2019s important to your bottom line to find the sanitary food conveyor belt problem and fix it before replacing the damaged belt.
