6.1.3 Checking guide rail
Products that are transported over the Spiral Elevator can make contact
with the guide rail. A stoppage may damage the guide rail. This may later
result in products getting stuck at the damaged place and therefore it is
important that the guide rail is regularly checked for irregularities and is
adjusted or repaired if necessary.
6.1.4 Checking for products sliding
One of the conditions that apply to the Spiral Elevator is that products being
transported should not slide.
Conveyor plates have high friction material to avoid this.
Therefore it should be checked regularly whether sliding does or does not
occur.
Any observed sliding may have different causes, which can include the
following:
• Worn high friction conveyor which will need to be replaced with
new.
• Products are transported that are not described in the technical
specification. If this is the case the end user is expected to contact
the supplier of the Spiral Elevator.
• Foreign matter is on the friction conveyor or on the product. This
foreign matter must be removed.
. Note! If the sliding cannot be remedied, please contact the
supplier of the Spiral Elevator.
