12.3.4 Chain elongation
During the run-in period, regular checks should be made to the elongation
of the conveyor chain. This is especially important if the conveyor is trans
-
porting high loads or is of long overall length.
Regular inspections of the chain elongation are important. The chain
should be shortened after a run-in time of 40 hours. Further inspections
should be made at 200, 500 and then at 1000 hour intervals.
