Key points for replacement and maintenance of meat slicer conveyor belt

1、 Preparation work

1. Safety: Cut off the power supply of the equipment and lock it, hang warning signs, and ensure a dry and clean operating environment.

2. Tool preparation: Prepare wrenches, hex keys, pry bars, new conveyor belts (of the same model), food grade lubricants, alcohol, and cloths.

3. Disassemble the old belt:

-Loosen the head tension bolt and release the belt tension.

-Remove the protective cover and guide plate, and record the position of the components.

-Slowly extract the old conveyor belt to avoid scratching the surface of the roller.

2、 Install new belt

1. Cleaning inspection:

-Clean the residual grease on the drive roller, driven roller, and pallet with alcohol.

-Check if the roller bearings are stuck and if the synchronous belt pulley is worn.

2. Installation:

-Lay the new conveyor belt flat on the pallet, ensuring that the texture direction is consistent with the operation.

-First, insert the drive end and use a pry bar to assist in stretching to the driven roller. Do not use sharp tools.

3. Tension adjustment:

-Tighten the bolts evenly, press the middle of the belt with your thumb, and let it sink by 5-8mm.

-Observe for any deviation during manual turning and adjust the parallelism of the driven roller.

3、 Debugging and maintenance

1. No load test:

-Run slowly and observe if the belt is centered.

-Abnormal shaking requires checking the balance of the roller.

2. Lubrication and maintenance:

-Apply food grade silicone grease to the guide groove (replenished every shift).

-Check the edges of the belt for cracks and delamination every week.

3. Preventive measures:

-Daily removal of minced meat residue and timely neutralization of acidic stains.

-Avoid cutting the strip surface incorrectly with the tool and maintain a reasonable cutting depth.

Key reminder: Synchronous belt replacement should be carried out in pairs. Insufficient tension can cause slipping, while excessive tension can damage the acceleration bearing. The maintenance records should include the replacement time, batch number with body, and abnormal phenomena.
