5.3 Cleaning
Depending on the environmental condition and the properties of the material trans-
ported, the components of the small conveyor unit, in particular the working unit,
will be subject to varying degrees of contamination.
F
Check the contamination level on a regular basis. Initially, check on a weekly
basis, thereafter check in intervals that you determine based on the require-
ments.
If the contamination is significant enough to impair the throughput, or there is a
layer of dirt on the small conveyor drive, it must be cleaned.
The cleaning may be carried out with pressurized air or steam, or with chemical
cleansing agents.
F
Switch off the power to the drive before any cleaning operation!
F
Select the appropriate method. If applicable, follow the guidelines for the use
of steam cleaners, water, or solvents that apply to the installation site!
F
Only use cleaning solvents with a pH value of 7 or less!
F
Do not use cleaning solvents containing chlorine!
F
When cleaning with compressed air, observe any in-house regulations regar-
ding dust!
F
When cleaning with hot steam, there is a risk of damaging the paintwork.
Take care that the type label does not become detached!
Detachment of paintwork and contamination of the transported material! Do not
use agressive agents that could damage the paintwork! In the food processing
industry, only permitted cleaning agents and solvents may be used. Do not use cle-
aning agents that may attack the plastic insulation of cables!
F
Remove all residues of transported material and cleaning agent after cle-
aning!
F Establish a sensible routine interval for contamination checks and cleaning!
Working units with conveying brushes or PU sheathing
F Remove loose dirt, chips, and dust with a vacuum cleaner; mop up oil,
grease, and emulsions with a cloth. Wash out any residue with soap water.
Sheathing damage! Never use solvents or petroleum!
DANGER!
ATTENTION!
