However, their lifespan is dependent on how well the equipment is maintained and whether it is used to convey abrasive products. We recommend lifting the cover of your u u- -trough check for cracks, bent or deformed screws, material build-up or a reduction of the outside diameter. When checking your screw conveyors, make sure the power supply is locked off before openingthe cover. trough conveyor conveyor regularly to Check Checkthe theHanger HangerBearings Bearings Regularly monitor the hanger bearings of your shaft screw for wear. These are located on the outside of the equipment. Check bearings for good lubrication. Although bearings last a long time, especially if self- lubricating, they are often the first parts of your conveyor that will need replacing.

Hanger bearings will need to be replaced if they exceed wear of one-eighth of an inch. Check Checkthe theRotary RotaryShaft ShaftSeals Seals If your screw conveyor includes a shaft seal, regularly check this for wear and tear. Lip seals wear incredibly quickly, so we recommend CinchSeal rotary shaft seal for longer-lasting performance and better protection. In addition, the Shaft Seal is important to maintain and replace if necessary because it protects your product from contamination. Material MaterialBuild BuildUp Up If there is significant material build up in your u-trough conveyor, this needs to be cleaned out regularly. Some sticky and semi-liquid product performs better with a shaft-less conveyor. The material is less likely to build up around the centre.
