Conveyor problems rarely start where they become visible. Carryback, mistracking, dust, spillage, premature wear, and component failures often develop gradually and can be identified long before they lead to costly downtime.
 
Whether you're responsible for maintenance, operations, engineering, or reliability, this session will provide a systematic method for assessing conveyor conditions and identifying opportunities for improvement before problems escalate.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to conduct a more effective conveyor system inspection
  • Key areas to evaluate when walking a conveyor belt
  • Warning signs of carryback, mistracking, dust, and spillage issues
  • How conveyor component condition impacts system performance
  • Best practices for identifying maintenance and reliability concerns before they cause downtime
