ROLLER REPLACEMENT (Procedures):
 


Product: Maintenance: Roller Replacement

 

  The Nieuwoudt Belt-Trap is practically maintenance free after installation. Standard idler rollers that are used in the machine would be included in the normal preventative maintenance schedule for the rest of the conveyor system.
   
  Roller Replacement:
1. Two lock out pins on each of the top and bottom catcher arms were provided with the Nieuwoudt Belt-Trap. The top catcher arm must be lifted and the bottom catcher arm must be lowered to the neutral position. The lock out pins must be inserted in the pinholes.
2. The top conveyor belt must be lifted to clear the top roller. Both idlers rollers can then be replaced.
3. After completion of the replacement of the rollers, the top and bottom catcher arms must be dropped to the normal operational position and lockout system pins must be removed.
4. After completion of these actions, the Nieuwoudt Belt-Trap and conveyor belt will be back in operational mode.
