there is always a gab between chain

occurs after certain time of operation!

The wear between bushing and

Lubrication General

At each equipment correspond specific lubrication instructions.

Here you will find an example of lubrication list for pan conveyor.

This lubrication list is to find on each “Operation Manual” in chapter 5,


»for each machine there is a specific lubrication list that you have to take in
consideration.

All these instructions are to protect your equipment against normal wear but
also excessive wear.

An optimal lubrication will give you a good function of your equipment and also
to your complete installation.

Regularly wear measurement according to the operation manual will


lead to:

- Early detection of wear


- Early detection of failures
- Optimized maintenance management
- Optimized spare part management
- Less spare parts on stock
- Lower maintenance costs
- Less unplanned stops
- Increase of production

The total length of the bucket elevator chains consists of several strand with 10 double

 1-Observe the instructions and safety regulations in the chapter §5.10 “Bucket exchange”
 2-In order to exchange parts of elevator chain only, dismount the required number of
buckets first.
 3-Before taking the chain apart, the chain must be supported above and underneath the
points where it is divided. Make sure that the chain part which has to be exchanged
is loose. It will have to be supported so that it will not fall down after removal of the bolts.
 4-By means of a pressing-in /out device the chain bolts can be pressed in/out at any
position. Individual double links and sections of any length may be exchanged.
For pressing-in, press one outer link against 2 bolts.
 5-The chain must be separated prior to pressing out any chain bolts for which the outer
links of a chain link have to be separated e.g. flame cutting .
 For better handling, we recommend to pull the chain ends out of the assembly opening.
 The removal and assembly of the chain parts can be implemented outside of the elevator
casing.
 See also instructions concerning the pressing in/out device in chapter 8 of Operating
Manual.
