A conveyor belt is the heartbeat of many manufacturing and logistics systems.
If it stops, your entire production line could come to a halt. That’s why regular maintenance isn’t just recommended—it’s essential.

Here’s how to keep your conveyor running at peak performance and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

1. Perform Routine Inspections

Don’t wait until something breaks. Set up a weekly or monthly checklist to inspect:

✅ Belt tension and alignment
✅ Roller wear and lubrication
✅ Pulley condition
✅ Motor and gearbox performance
✅ Debris buildup under the belt

Small issues caught early can prevent costly downtime later.

2. Keep It Clean

Dust, grease, and debris can build up quickly—especially in food, packaging, and manufacturing environments. A clean conveyor:

✔️ Reduces friction
✔️ Improves belt tracking
✔️ Extends the lifespan of components

Use the right cleaning methods for your material type (e.g. dry brushes for dry goods, damp wipes for sticky residue).

3. Monitor Belt Tension and Tracking

A loose or misaligned belt can lead to:

❌ Slippage
❌ Uneven wear
❌ Product misplacement or jams

Check that the belt is centered and tensioned according to the manufacturer’s specs. If unsure, consult an automation specialist like AT SYSTECH SDN BHD.

4. Lubricate Moving Parts Regularly

Bearings, rollers, and drive chains all require proper lubrication. Follow a scheduled plan and use the correct lubricant type for your conveyor’s materials and load conditions.

Pro Tip: Over-lubrication can be just as harmful as under-lubrication—always follow the manual.

5. Invest in Preventive Maintenance Services

Consider scheduling quarterly inspections by automation professionals to check deeper components like:

🔍 Motor and gear alignment
🔍 Electrical connections
🔍 Sensor calibration
🔍 Safety systems

A one-time check could save thousands in future repair costs.
