Page 3: SAFETY & APPEARANCE

GUARDING

  • Belt/Chain drive guards installed & free of damage

  • Pinch point on the conveyor - no overlap

  • Exposed rotating devices covered

  • All finger guards installed

  • Max. gap of 5 mm between fingerguard and movable part allowed

  • All covers (bottom cover etc.) installed

  • Guards and covers fixed with all the bolts, no missing bolts

  • No loose hardware (screws, nuts etc. remains in conveyor)

SIDE GUIDE

  • Guide rail lapped correctly

  • Correct side guide rail installed

  • Guide rail installed straight

  • Guide rail transitioned correctly

  • Cut sections are clean, straight & touched up

  • Guide rail free of sharp edges

  • Guide rail has proper hardware & connections

  • Max. gap of 5 mm between sideguard and movable part allowed

ALIGNED LEVEL & SECURED

  • Conveyor is installed straight, it does not walk/bow

  • Conveyor is installed level or angled continuous (acc to the product specification). Record value

  • Conveyor is racked properly

  • Conveyor supports are plumb, anchored, proper bracing and proper locations

  • Conveyor to conveyor transitions are set to proper heights

APPEARANCE

  • Conveyor contains no damaged parts

  • Conveyor does not have scratches paint

  • Touch up paint matches original paint

  • Conveyors are not dirty

  • Conveyors do not have sharpie or other markings

  • Conveyor is in "New" condition

  • No leakage on motors/gearboxes. Check flanges, vents etc.

Page 4: PRODUCT CONVEYANCE

PRODUCT CONVEYANCE GENERAL

  • All types of parcels (boxes, totes, envelopes, bags) flow smoothly through the conveyor, they don't touch any equipment (photoeyes etc.), they don't catch on or jam over.

  • All types and sizes of parcels are diverted fully and correctly

ACCUMULATION CONVEYOR

  • Does the product stay edge aligned

  • Does the product accumulate correctly (No excessive line pressure. No large gaps between product)

  • Does the product restart correctly (No delay when the zone turns on)

  • Does the product stop correctly (Product does not over shoot zone. Product does not "crash" into product downstream)

  • When accumulating does product become "skewed" to the correct side (brings boxes to the right or left of the conveyor)

DIVERTING

  • Are all types of parcel diverted properly?

GRAVITY

  • Does the light small product make it down <br>the line when starting from a stopped position?

  • Does the product "rock" due to roller/skate wheels centers?

  • All types and sizes of parcels slide freely from infeed to outfeed of chute

  • Infeed of spiral vonveyor is lower than proceeding conveyor

  • Output of spiral conveyor is higher than following conveyor
